@rachelsj love this movie. What a cast.

FreddieUK · 70-79, M
Unforgiven is excellent, but it is a knowing critique on the genre reversing/undermining the roles usually fulfilled by the characters.

I love Once Upon a Time in the West but that, too, owes a lot to previous films and is great for showing off by identifying the references (😂) and an unequaled music track.

Best classic? Probably High Noon for me.

@FreddieUK it’s pretty old so I get it. Ever see Cooper in the Hanging Tree?
FreddieUK · 70-79, M
@4thdimensiondream Not seen that one.
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@FreddieUK it’s good! Karl Malden excellent!

Back in the Saddle with Roy Rogers. Early 1940s is one of my favorites

Gunfight at the O.K. Corral has Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas and guess these two old dogs did another I like together Tough Guys in 1986

@HumanEarth pretty sure I’ve seen Gunfight at the OK Corral but there’s been so many movies about it I’m not sure.
Yes for Eastwood's Unforgiven. First for me :D

Second would be Gary Cooper and Walter Brennan in The Westerner (1940)

Third has to be The Big Country with a host of acting legends.

I don't really like Westerns I'm more into Horror so I would have to say Bone Tomahawk
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@AngelUnforgiven check out Night of the Grizzly and Stalking moon. Neither horror but intense stories with great cast.
Convivial · 26-30, F
The searchers
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@Convivial a classic.
Convivial · 26-30, F
@4thdimensiondream agreed... Definitely not your typical western
Of course you know it’s a remake of "Seven Samurai".

The only western I actually bought was "The Great Silence".

4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@BlueSkyKing yes I’m aware. It’s on my list to see. I don’t know the other. A French film?
@4thdimensiondream Spaghetti western. Saw it about 15 years ago when it made its US debut. I have a cool t-shirt of a poster for the film.
Pretzel · 70-79, M
Stagecoach with John Wayne - the first one
The Shootist
Cat Ballou
True Grit (the first one)
Musicman · 61-69, M
@Pretzel I absolutely love Stagecoach. 🤠
basilfawlty89 · 36-40, M
My Name is Nobody
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@basilfawlty89 damn another one I haven’t seen.
@basilfawlty89 A very good one
TheRealBarbossa · 36-40, T
Not sure if it qualifies as a western, but Warriors Way
TheRealBarbossa · 36-40, T
@4thdimensiondream I only know it bc Geoffrey Rush who played (my hubby) Barbossa in Pirates Of The Caribbean is in it 🙈

But regardless of how much I adore the man, I recommend movies I genuinely think people will enjoy.
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@TheRealBarbossa he’s a terrific actor.
TheRealBarbossa · 36-40, T
@4thdimensiondream absolutely. And that move is something else.


It's about a samurai who comes across a carneval in the middle of nowhere, and helps them regain control against the guy who demands money to leave them alone.

It's a good mix of western, samurai, action, drama, and romance. I think that's the best way to describe it to someone who hasn't seen it.
Never seen anything like it before or after.
Musicman · 61-69, M
Those are great movies. I also like Rio Lobo, Big Jake, Bend of the River, Open Range and They Call Me Trinity.
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@Musicman love Open Range.
Nimbus · M
Once Upon a Time in the West.
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@Nimbus I need to see this again. I know I saw it once after hearing so much raving about it. But it didn’t grab me. I love Fonda and others in the cast.
Nimbus · M
@4thdimensiondream Please do, it's simply magnificent.
Likestoenjoylife · 51-55, M
Does Blazing Saddles count?
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@Likestoenjoylife absolutely! Love it.
The good the bad and the ugly.
Pretzel · 70-79, M
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout sounds like my family reunion
Quimliqer · 70-79, MVIP
Appaloosa and The Unforgiven.
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@Quimliqer 1960 movie yes?
ProfessorPlum77 · 70-79, MVIP
For one, True Grit.
IM5688 · 70-79, M
Blazing Saddles
and
Dances With Wolves
hunkalove · 70-79, M
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
hunkalove · 70-79, M
@4thdimensiondream Saw it when it was new.
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@hunkalove I think I did too but I def didn’t see it in the theater so maybe not. Early 60’s right?
hunkalove · 70-79, M
@4thdimensiondream 1962. I was 12.
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@sunsporter1649 I want to see this but I heard it’s a bit dated to watch now.

@eyeno two great movies! Seen both so many times. Hang em high was first Clint Eastwood movie I ever saw. I was in awe for 2 hours.
Musicman · 61-69, M
@eyeno Hang em High was never a favorite, but I definitely like Two Mules For Sister Sarah. 🙂🙂🙂
Shootist, because Wayne gets in in the back.
