Favorite Western Film?

Back to Movies & TV

Any era, any genre, popularity or obscurity is out the window. I'm really curious what your favorite cowboy film is.

"Secret technique! Sprout Scattering!"

I've got a few.

Open Range - best gunfight! It is stark and unglamorous!

Shane - because Shane! 

Culpepper Cattle Company - best 'coming of age' film, and it's gritty! 

@Cranky Old Witch hell yeah

"Secret technique! Sprout Scattering!"

The dollars trilogy.  yes i know, extremely cliche. but its so so good. 
If i have to pic one western, then yea, its "the good the bad and the ugly. 
But i love quite a few. 


Death rides a horse. 

high plains Drifter.

The outlaw Josey Wales. 

Duck you sucker. 

adjacent, but might not count.... Jeramiah Johnson. 

Unforgiven

Hateful eight.

Butch cassidy and the sundance kid. 

High noon.

The magnificent seven. 

the big gundown. 




@⸸⸸⸸𝕶𝖎𝖑𝖑𝖌𝖆𝐳𝖒𝖔𝖙𝖗𝖔𝖓⸸⸸⸸ speaking of the magnificent seven, have you ever seen the remake with chris pratt? My dad owns it on physical like a couple other of hte films you mentioned

"Secret technique! Sprout Scattering!"

@GillFilmReviews21
I have not. All i know is originally its a cowboy remake of kurosawa's 7 samurai. But no havent seen the remake yet.
Is it good?

@⸸⸸⸸𝕶𝖎𝖑𝖑𝖌𝖆𝐳𝖒𝖔𝖙𝖗𝖔𝖓⸸⸸⸸ I have no idea either.

"Secret technique! Sprout Scattering!"
I'm not very into western movies, or maybe I didn't saw a lot of them tbh, although my dad is; he'd probably say any Clint Eastwood movie lol
But if I had to say one western movie that I like, I'd probably say "Near Dark" I mean, is a horror western, right?


My top three:

1) Shane. Jack Palance at his seething best while Alan Ladd played it cool. Everyone who watches it asks the same question about the child, especially as the words "And mother wants you 

2) The Magnificent Seven. McQueen. Brynner. Bronson. Coburn. Vaughn. A great story with a great cast.

3) Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. An often warm, funny, action-packed buddy movie that almost makes you forget they're the bad guys.

I'm not sure if it's a western, but its set in  the western time. it's "Girl Crazy" (1943) with Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney. Its one of my favorites with the two of them together.
