Best Westerns

[RockyMtNole]

The movies, not the motel.

I’m in the mood for a Western. What are your Top 3? Might be something I haven’t seen before.

 

[WDDT]

Quigly down under

A few dollars more

Blazing Saddles.

HM Desperado

 

[TennNole17*]

Deadwood.
Not a movie, but a great western series

 

[Moral]

Wild Wild West. It's a tasteful western and steampunk movie.

 

[NorthernHawkeye]

I don't have a top 3. The Outlaw Josey Wales and Pale Rider come to mind. For a series, Lonesome Dove.

Sleeper: The Quick and the Dead

 

[FanInBlack]

High Plains Drifter
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Open Range
Hostiles
3:10 to Yuma the new one
Horizon Chapter 1.

If Jeremiah Johnson qualifies then its first for me.

 

[hawkeyetraveler]

Revenant
Unforgiven
The Hateful 8

 

[SoProudNole]

Unforgiven is a masterpiece.

 

[PinkShizzle]

Unforgiven
The Magnificent Seven
Tombstone

 

[Lindemann]

The old John Wayne movie 'The Cowboys' was always one of my favorites.

 

[tarheelbybirth1]

Unforgiven
The Magnificent Seven
Tombstone

Excellent list

 

[PinkShizzle]

Deadwood.
Not a movie, but a great western series

Correct that it was a great series (some comic relief for all the "cocksuckers" that got thrown around as well).

You wouldn't have been wrong saying it was a movie, though.

 

[o_NoleinATL]

Love the genre, think it is underrated.

The entire Yellowstone franchise

This is a joke.

 

[TennNole17*]

This is a joke.

Stop talking to yourself!

 

[AFM22]

Stop talking to yourself!

I wanted it to be clear that it was a joke.

You guys suck. There have been some fine movies over the last 30 years in the western genre, but I’m not sure anyone has mentioned:
Who Shot Liberty Valance
Stagecoach
Red River
She Wore A Yellow Rose
The Searchers
High Noon
The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly
Once Upon A Time In The West
The Wild Ones
High Plains Drifter…

 

[FanInBlack]

its impossible for me to pick because its my favorite genre. I love almost all of them ..but I do not like John Wayne westerns. I dont know why. Loved the True Grit remake tho.

A deep cut I love is a movie called The Professionals with Burt Lancaster, Lee Marvin, and Jack Palance. So good.

Tombstone would be in my top 10 as well.

I have watched the Tales Of Wells Fargo and Hondo TV series like 4 times. haha. Rifleman too

 

[tarheelbybirth1]

Unforgiven should be #1 on everyone’s list. It’s damn near perfect. The Magnificent Seven would be in everybody’s top ten. Sub The Seven Samurai if you want the source code. For the third, I’d go with one I watch whenever I run across it. Tombstone or Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid or Little Big Man.

 

[LafayetteBear]

Unforgiven
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Tombstone

 

[Outbackbowl2017]

The Outlaw Josey Wales
Pale Rider
Tombstone
Unforgiven
Open Range
The Cowboys
No Country for Old Men
High Plains Drifter
The Good, Bad, and Ugly
Desperado

 

[Yellowsnow51]

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is in a class of its own. Tuco along with Quint from Jaws is the best movie character of all time.

The rest of the list:
Shane (Pale Rider is a remake of Shane)
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Outlaw Josey Wales
Unforgiven
Once Upon a Time in the West
Treasure of the Sierra Madre
Every other Clint western with the Leone ones on top

For newer ones
Open Range was great
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

and I liked the one with Ethan Hawk and the Dog and John Travolta- Valley of Violence

and I like the one with Mads Milkkensen called “The Salvation”

 

[Hendy Hawk]

Lots of good ones listed.
How about Dances with Wolves?
