The Best Western

What is the best western movie you've ever seen?

I'm a big fan and really wish the "powers that be" would create a series like the old Bonanza or Gunsmoke. Enough already with all the damn reality shows.

I can't pick just one!

I love McLintock and Rio Bravo and Magnificent Seven. Who would have thought that Yul Briner was such a gunslinger?! :lol:

I'm with you. I love the old western movies and tv shows - The Lone Ranger, The Cisco Kid, Rawhide. I still watch them when I get a chance. I was watching the re-runs as kid and I still watch them as an adult, so I think that says something.

Big John Wayne fan here, so maybe True Grit or The Cowboys. And I loved the remake of True Grit as well.

Two words...James Arness! Loved that guy in Gunsmoke. I actually read the Gunsmoke Book's. I read a ton of western books and watch allot of western movies (caught up on Hell on Wheels last night) and I just like a good story without a bunch of filthy trashy stuff. Hero, villain and damsel and the good guy's win!

Also a big "Duke Wayne" fan. Love, love, love, Big Jake, McClintock, El Dorado, The Searchers, Sons of Katie Elder, just about anything the Duke did. Also, "Tombstone" with Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer and Sam Elliott, love that movie. "I'm your huckleberry" Val Kilmer was the best Doc Holiday without a doubt.:buddies: I sure miss the old series though. I do on occasion get to see them on the the classic movie stations, and I forget which one it was, but one of the stations were running repeats of the old "Rifleman" show with Chuck Conners. Brought back memories from childhood days. Does anybody remember the series "Fury" with Peter Graves?

I know this will be debated but I have an old VHS black and white western with John Wayne and one of the henchmen that the Duke shoots is Clint Eastwood. It's just a split second scene and Clint looks all of 18 years old but I watched it back and forth 20 times and there's no mistaking the young Pale Rider.

I agree - he was the best.

I had to look up Fury. I've never even seen a re-run of that. Had a hard time finding it too - google kept wanting to give me a horror movie.

I don't doubt it.

The Duke was making movies from the 30's on. Clint Eastwood was a nobody actor when he was cast in the bit part on Rawhide in the late 50's/early 60's. By the end of the tv series, he was the star of the show. So he wasn't always famous. :lol:

Yeah I know. :lol:
I was just answering the OP's question, referring to "movies" rather than the western TV shows.
I've always enjoyed watching a Clint Western: hang em high, a fistful of dollars, the good the bad the ugly, two mules for sister sara, high plains drifter, for a few dollars more, unforgiven,... :yay:

Then, on a side note, there's his Dirty Harry series of films as well. :popcorn:

The Good the Bad and the Ugly
[most other CE westerns are good entertainment]
My Name is Nobody - Henry Fonda's monologue at the end is great

anything with John Wayne although I thought his last western about the aged dying Gunfighter was Excellent - it fit the end of his life

----------------------------------------------------------------

Cowboy's and Aliens while a new western and not the Best ever .... kept me entertained for entire time

I cannot wait for the Civil War Era Zombie flick due out soon
