Best Westerns (films, not hotels)

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.

Watching 1883 currently (series) it's good.

Some of my favourites in no particular order:

Unforgiven
Dances With Wolves
The Quick And The Dead
Bone Tomahawk
Django Unchained
The Hateful 8
Rango
Blazing Saddles

Not to everyone's taste but The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

F**K, can't believe I missed that one out, an absolute classic! Love that film.

 

[Harry Gates]

The Big Country.

Trinity is still my name
The slap scene and the dining scenes are class (Their faces when they are being served tiny portions, then the old lady flirting with Bambino while Trinity gets the beauty)

Used to love those when I was a young un.

As a side note it was only a couple of years ago I found out that chronologically The GBU is the first of the "trilogy" from being a kid I always had it in my head it was the last because of the order they were released.
Also that they weren't originally filmed as a trilogy at all.
Superb films like, I've watched them all loads.

I was quite pleased with myself ...

Also delighted with all the suggestions, now to source them and find the time, ha.

For me it’s got to be TGTBATU untouchable for Eli Wallach’s acting Sergio Leone’s direction and Ennio Morricone’s flawless music!

 

[El Oso]

Two with a bit of humour in them that I enjoyed were
Maverick and
Tombstone with a standout performance from Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday

 

[Georgewhitt]

Laughed like fuck at Johnny Depps Tonto in The Lone Ranger.

All Clint Eastwood westerns have to be in there, but Dances With Wolves is absolutely superb.

Stick your like up your harris mate
In my top 5 favourite films of all time.
Makes me cry at the end every f***ing time, when his mate is on the hill shouting "You are my friend" in native american, as he rides away with his wife.
I know, soft as shite

 

[HebburnMackem]

Clint's films are all you need

 

[skullmeister]

Not really a conventional western but I enjoyed the treasure of the sierra madre

Brilliant film, Bogart is outstanding, John Huston what a director, look at some of his films The Maltese Falcon, The African Queen and The Man Who Would Be King (one of my favourite films).

My favourite westerns are The Good the Bad and the Ugly and High Plains Drifter. Both classics. Some good youtube videos of people visiting the place where the graveyard scene of the The Good...was filmed.

Yeah I must admit I’ve enjoyed some of those.
I also loved the story of the bloke who was just an extra on set who sat beside Clint on a break and couldn’t speak to him because of the language barrier.
