Yatto Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Hi Everyone What is your favourite western movie? (for those who like westerns of course) My favourite is "The Magnificent Seven" but I also like the three iconic Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns starring Clint Eastwood......no titles needed here.......lol In my opinion the themes to all these movies are timeless......Elmer Bernstein and Ennio Morricone respectively. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yatto Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 Oh yes!.....I forgot about "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" with John 'The Duke' Wayne, James Stewart and Lee Marvin. It's a pity that Gene Pitney's classic song wasn't on the soundtrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yatto Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 Yes, Jeddie, I saw Shane with Alan Ladd many years ago. It is a good movie. I will have to watch it again sometime soon. There are SO many good westerns......old and new. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopefullguy Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 i like old westerns from 70's back but have been surprised by some modern ones. they may or may not appeal to most but there was something in each that i like. dances with wolves unforgiven tombstone open range young guns the lone ranger (yes i know but on a big screen/pj/sound system it works) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony M Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Monte Walsh (the 1971 Lee marvin version - haven't seen the Tom Sellick remake) This under-rated gem is a warm and beautiful movie that treads easly and deftly between melancholy, humour and action. I portrays a West that is changing forever with the sad result that the cowboy life is becoming redundant. The gorgeous music by John Barry gets under your skin and stays there permanently. I was sold right from the opening title song by Mama Cass Elliot. Maybe not a typical Western, but my favourite. I liked "Bad Day at Black Rock" too - must be one of the best titles ever! But I guess that's even less of a "Western". I last saw "Soldier Blue" about 45 years ago but I do remember really enjoying it, despite fairly universal panning by the critics.

RankStranger Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 +1 for tombstone and Unforgiven. I’ll add No country for old men as Maybe the best modern western and There will be blood as another modern masterpiece. I saw There will be blood with the MSO providing the soundtrack live a couple of years ago and it was incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have reminded me of all the TV westerns I used to watch back in the 60's. Cheyenne, Sugarfoot, Bronco, Bat Masterson, Rawhide, Branded, The Rebel (which is playing on Netflix at the moment), Have Gun Will Travel, The Lone Ranger (TV series), Maverick, Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Wyatt Earp and another series (I have forgotten the title) with a young Steve McQueen in which his character wears a cut-down rifle in a holster on his hip. I used to enjoy Whiplash! with Peter Graves, set and filmed in 1800's Australia. Peter Graves and James Arness (Gunsmoke) are brothers apparently. In the 70's used to watch Cash & Co. another Australian series set in the 1800's Cade's County with Glen Ford was another good series although a more modern setting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
