Best Western of All Time

[Gherkins]

High Noon.
Rio Grande, El Dorado and expecially The Searchers are awesome too.

 

[HORNS]

Just to throw something different in: The Outlaw Josey Wales

Charles Bronson was never better either, The DVD with the extras and interviews is priceless.

Oh man and did someone say Claudia?

+1 then ...It's the Josie Wales! I liked Tombstone and the series Deadwood too!

Those are all good ones, for sure. I'm with you on Budd Boetticher. "The Tall T" is a favorite. Randolph Scott is so good in all those Boetticher pictures and in Peckinpah's "Ride the Hide Country," too.

I said "The Searchers" as soon as I clicked on the thread title. Still, I gotta give honorable mention to Big Country as it captures my disgust with rural ignorance.

A Bad Day At Black Rock....best of the "modern" Westerns.

Comedy: Cat Ballou.

Love "Bad Day at Black Rock." First time I really enjoyed Spencer Tracy.

Magnificent Seven
TGTBTU

Deadwood is an amazing show, I just can't get past the 6th episode or so, simply because it's depressing to watch a show that's already cancelled.....


Anyone watch Justified? Not a western per-se, but a modern cowboy type thing. It's pretty good.

5 pages in and nobody has mentioned The Wild Bunch? That one easily tops my list.

I love Justified. I'm really looking forward to it's return next month.

The trilogy of your avatar.

 

[TheCoolShoeShine]

I would say High Noon or The Good The Bad and The Ugly

 

[Charley]

Any list of contenders would be incomplete without High Noon.

The current one on the big screen now is the new version of True Grit.
I'd certainly recommned it, if only for what I believe is the pretty accurate depiction of the living condition back in the "Good Old Days." The phrasing in the dialogue is pretty interesting. I like it much better than the first version.

the searchers
the wild bunch
high noon
one eyed jacks
treasure of the sierra madre
pale rider


some of you need to watch some westerns made before 1990.

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly? I thought this was a given.

 

[JLibourel]

Another vote for The Wild Bunch.
