Westerns?
 

Who here likes weterns? At the moment, Im rather obsessed with the old Clint Eastwood ones. Ive recently bought "Fistful of Dollars", "For a Few Dollars More", "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", and "Hang 'em High".

Ive only watched "Fistful..." and "Hang 'em High", but they're amazing!!

I need to see a few more westerns, Im a real n00b there....

All Ive seen are the ones I mentioned, "Open Range", and a John Wayne one whose name I dont know...Lol

Your off to a good start with the Clint movies.I enjoy a good western myself. A few good ones.

Once Upon a Time in the West.
The Wild Bunch
Unforgiven
Silverado
The Outlaw Josey Wales
The Long Riders

those eastwood movies are a great start.

you shoudl also watch "tombstone", "el dorado", "the cowboys", "unforgiven", "silverado", "rio bravo", "the comancheros" and "the sons of katie elder".

Some of those are high on my list of movies to rent in the near future [Tombstone, Unforgivin, Rio Bravo], although others Ive never heared of. Thanks Jedicow

I'm into spagehtti westerns, got the Clint Eastwood boxset.

Theres so many good westerns I could list, from older b&w ones to more modern.....

A Bullet For The General
The Alamo
Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid
Desperado
Django
The Gunfighter
Hang 'Em High
High Plains Drifter
Lawman
Tombstone

and many more. Find a western review site and check some out.

What movie is this quote from?

"Whats your name?"
"Gordon."

And then the guy punches him in the face. Its fucking funny but i dont know what the movie is called......and yes its a western..

NO ONE'S MENTIONED "THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN"????

I love westerns.

add 'Shane' (Alan Ladd) and 'The Searchers' (John Wayne) to the list of classics.
Oh .. and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.

Support Your Local Gunfighter was a fun comedy western with James Garner.

I love Westerns. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly & Once Upon a Time in the West are among my favorites. I like most of the Eastwood movies, except Hang 'em High. I like some of the John Wayne movies too; Rio Bravo and The Shootist were good. Does Quigley Down Under count as a Western?

Blazing Saddles

Indeed

Good man. Once Upon a Time in the West is unbelievable. It came really close to making my top 10 movies ever (Se7en beat it out), and The Wild Bunch was the first western I ever REALLY liked.

As for the John Wayne flicks, check out Rio Bravo and then you've seen 'em all. The Searchers is different, I guess, as is Liberty Vallance, but LV is more of a James Stewart movie. I never much cared for John Wayne.

lonesome dove is the best western ever.
and every western starring john wayne and clint eastwood come equal second.

These are the coolest westerns in my opinion...

Unforgiven
Tombstone
Young Guns
Young Guns 2
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Fistful of Dollars
For a few Dollars More
The Quick and the Dead
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid


I would say you need to go rent Tombstone as quick as you possibly can, but be prepared to become a big Val Kilmer fan after you see it. His portayal of Doc Holliday is one of the best characters in any movie, ever.

absolutely .... everyone was great in that film but Kilmer was outstanding,
Huckleberry ...

Muhahahaha

Forgot bout that one.....The Waco Kid:cool:

Wow, all the good ones were listed.....

The Good The bad and The Ugly is one of the greatest...

For quality Spaghetti Westerns, track down

Django
Django Rides Again (a.k.a. Django Strikes Again)
Django Kill! (a.k.a. If You Live, Shoot!) - very violent uncut Jap-laser version approx. 2hrs, previously cut to bits in the USA/UK
Massacre Time & Four of the Apocalypse (both Lucio Fulci)

Hey does anyone know the name of the Western that's playing on the TV at the end of Kill Bill Volume 2? I think it had asian cowboys in it.

i didnt even notice !
But considering Tarantino .... maybe its a western Streetfighter :)

how about el topo, surrealist film
kinda wicked
my kind of western

I've always wanted to see that film .. read alot about it .. but i've never seen it anywhere..

very hard to find
you could get a copied version at ebay
you don't want to pay more than $10 though
and make sure the seller has a return policy

I keep hoping I'll find the laserdisc ..

good luck!!!:D

true grit - John Waynes' finest

.re El Topo
looks like there are a bunch on ebay on DVD.

I'll have to do some research to see what the best version is ..
I've seen about 3 variations in the length of the movie so far ..

happy hunting:D

Tombstone.....the one....the only.....


"Drunk piano player.....you're so drunk your probably seeing double"
"I got TWO guns.....one...for each of ya"

First let me say that it's great to find out there are other horror fans who also love westerns, I thought I was the only one.Here's my top ten favorites as well as a few other choice films:

1. The Searchers-John Wayne
2. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly-Eastwood
3. The Magnifcent Seven-Yul Brynner
4.Rio Bravo-John Wayne
5. Siverado- Scott Glen, Kevin Costner
6.The Outlaw Josey Wales- Clint Eastwood
7.Lonesome Dove-Robert Duvell,Tommy Lee Jones
8.Tombstone- Kurt Russell
9.Winchester '73- James Stewart
10. High Plains Drifter-Clint Eastwood.

Now if your interested in John Wayne films you might want to check out "Stagecoach, War Wagon, Hondo, Red River,True Grit" just a few of dozens of great Wayne westerns

More good Eastwood films include "Pale Rider,Hang 'Em High, For A Few Dollars More"

James Stewart movies:"The Man From Laramie, Broken Arrow"

You may also want to try "The Hour Of The Gun'with James Garner
Sam Rami's "The Quick And The Dead" with Sharon Stone and "The Long Riders" with Stacy Keach.

To get a good overall look at westerns you may want to check out a book called "The Overlook Film Encylopedia-The Western" (they also have a horror and Sci-Fi editions)

Now I have a question for anyone reading this very long post..do any of you know of a site like Horror.Com but is devoted to the Western? I can't seem to find any. If you know of one please send me a message.

not unusual that we would like westerns when you think of it ..

The Wild Bunch is credited by some as the 1st 'splatter' movie.

The first movie to show bullets hitting in slow-mo with blood shooting out.
Before that there was a gunshot .. someone grabbed their chest and they fell over.

thank you Mr Sam Peckinpah !
