Starting a fight I'm sure...
We're talking about our personal top 5 Westerns:
My top five are never anyone else’s top five:
1.) El Dorado- James Caan, Robert Mitchum, John Wayne, and it’s just a party…
2.) The Outlaw Josey Wales- I seriously think this is one of the best movies around.
3.) Silverado- it completely relaunched Westerns as a viable movie format, and it’s a hoot.
4.) Tombstone- “I’ll be your huckleberry.” Yeah.
5.) Tied- “The Shootist” with John Wayne, and “Joe Kidd” with Clint Eastwood… Both showing the end of an era.
Anyone else got comments?

I'm a big fan of Eastwood. When I run out of movies, I get out the reruns of Rawhide!

We has some kind of western movies in the communist era. I liked them a lot.

Re: Starting a fight I'm sure...
I forgot....of course....The Alamo!
For whatever reason I had it in my mind as a war movie, but of course it was a western as well!

What? No Blazing Saddles? Y'all have no taste...
You just have to ask yourself, is he telling you the truth based on knowledge and experience or spreading internet myths?

Re: Starting a fight I'm sure...
All good movies, though El Dorado was just too close to being Rio Bravo. I couldn't narrow it down to five, but I would include High Noon and The Westerner with Gary Cooper, The Big Country with Gregory Peck, and Jeremiah Johnson with Redford.

Re: Starting a fight I'm sure...
Favorite Westerns... virtually every Clint Eastwood western. Most John Wayne westerns ( especially McClintock).
Don't know that I could pick 5 out of those.
Oh yeah... Gods Gun is amusing; Lee Van Cleef (Angel Eyes in Good, Bad, Ugly) plays the main character, who is a preacher. Creepy.
Side note: Speaking of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly; Eli Wallache died recently. Of natural causes, not because Clint left him standing on a fence with a rope around his neck.

OBTW, I liked The Magnificent Seven enough to watch Seven Samurai. Both were very entertaining.

Re: Starting a fight I'm sure...
I only remember one line from Magnificent Seven: "Can I have your watch when you are dead?" I also watched Seven Samurai.
Haven't seen either movie in about 25 years.

"You get elected?"
"Nope. But I did get nominated."
Catchy phrases weren't as abundant in earlier films.

Years ago it was suggested that, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." But since all the doctors are now Muslim, I've found that a bacon sandwich works great!

Re: Starting a fight I'm sure...
Not much of a Western fan, but trying out the over-the-air antenna today I did watch some of For a Few Dollars More and thought it was pretty good. My wife being a native Virginia likes Two Mules For Sister Sara, The Alamo, Bad Girls, Outlaw Josie Wales, and Lightning Jack.

Re: Starting a fight I'm sure...
For A Few Dollars More is a great movie. But, if you're going to watch that, you should watch AFist Full Of Dollars, first, as that's the first in the trilogy. The last one is The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly.

The Cowboys - Those kids did a heck of a job in that movie.
Quigley. Think that was out west... and kind of down below or something.
and Oklahoma
They sure did sing a lot in that one, but it's purty good.
