OT: western movies

[Trojanbulldog19]

Any good new western movies been made lately that's worth watching? See a bunch on prime. Not sure if worth renting or not.

 

[The Fatboy]

Not sure what you consider new but Godless on Netflix is excellent

 

[Dawgg]

Not sure, but The Cowboys is always worth a rewatch.

I really liked it. Probably something made within last year.

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

I'm about to try dead for a dollar. Hopefully it's worth trying.

 

[The Fatboy]

If you like Science Fiction and Westerns you could give Outer Range a try on Prime.

It would be difficult for any to equate with The Searchers, Red River, Shane, High Noon, and other old classics.

Blazing Saddles is a can‘t miss classic!

If you haven’t seen it already Open Range is an excellent western from this century

 

[TaleofTwoDogs]

The mini seres 1883 was good. Of course, you can't go wrong with either the 1960 Magnificent Seven or its remake in 2016 with Denzel Washington and Chris Pratt.

Jeremiah Johnson, Lonesome Dove, Dances with Wolves. Those 3 are, in my opinion, the best ever. Actually, Lonesome Dove was a 4 part mini series, but it’s still a movie as far as I am concerned.

Lonesome Dove is the correct answer. I approve.

Broken Trail was a good mini series alono the same time as Open Range that also stared Robert Duvall. Haven’t seen it in awhile though.

 

[Dawgbyte75]

Lonesome Dove and then everything else. But 3:10 to Yuma and True Grit (Jeff Bridges) are definitely worth a watch

1883, a little slow at times but the last 2 episodes were outstanding.

 

[Pilgrimdawg]

Incredible movie. I watch the whole thing 4-5 times a year. I have ridden horses for long distances up in the mountains on western hunting trips and hat gives you a different perspective on how tough those guys really were.

Very powerful series. That little Isabell May kind of stole the show.

Easy on the eyes too

Lonesome Dove and the first two episodes of Centennial come to mind

 

[kramer_192]

A recent movie I saw is old Henry. I believe it came out last year or so. I enjoyed it but I am a movie critic either.

 

[Dawgbyte75]

Regarding Lonesome Dove, the book is even better than the movie.

 

[Cantdoitsal]

I've really enjoyed some of the newer Westerns as it seems like they're trying to make a come back. Outlaw Josey Wales is still my all time favorite along with other Eastwood and John Wayne Classics. Tombstone and Forgiven were awesome but don't fall in the "new" category I reckon.

I like Tm Blake Nelson and have been meaning to watch Old Henry. If you want to see a completely different Nelson character, watch The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. It's a Coen Brothers anthology of old west tales.

Name checks out

The name actually comes from my love for the Jeremiah Johnson movie. Love the Rocky Mountains. “That will be far enough Pilgrim”. “Your a fine target Pilgrim. Empty your hand”. Jeremiah Johnson is buried just outside of Cody, WY. And I have visited his grave site. As time goes on, I wish that I had moved West after I graduated from State over 45 years ago and never looked back.

They have it rigged up now where you need to rent it with a s**t load of dimes.

I put Unforgiven up there with the best westerns ever made. It's a great movie as well and not just a great western. Tombstone is pretty entertaining as well. Not a traditional western but a neo-western set in Texas and has men in cowboy hats is No Country for Old Men. It's brilliant and has the maybe scariest outlaw ever.

The good ole days in America when when had more freedom of speech and artists were able to push boundaries and remain in the mainstream.

The "modern" movie cryptic would destroy any of the westerns listed above if they were released in modern times. Too many toxic males. It makes me sad because I grew up on westerns with James Stewart, John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Gary Cooper, etc. and they did not warp my sense of right and wrong for my fellow man because I know they were just movies

 

[Pookieray]

Wasn't Brokeback Mountain a modern Western? Seems more like a "modern" western today than it did when it came out 10-15 years ago.

I know it'll be asked so, no I did not see it.

Maybe I should've said within the last five years or since Trump won his election.

 

[We Men]

Once Upon I Time Out West, best ever. Second is Blazzin Saddles. Not modern, but the best, and at my age I've seen them all.

 

[We Men]

Correction: Once upon A time ....

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

Lonesome dove is the only dvd/blue ray I still own. My all time favorite

Yeah it wasn't too bad.
1923 is a little odd right now

Lonesome Dove, Outlaw Josey Wales and Unforgiven. Unforgiven is based on a real outlaw: William Munny. We just rewatched it two nights ago. Excellent cast.

Tombstone will come on and my wife will leave the room because I can quote the movie from beginning to end.
