Favorite Western Movie?

The Magnificent Seven for me with Unforgiven a close 2nd.

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 I love Gary Cooper but that film puts me to sleep!

@4thdimensiondream It is slow, I'll give you that, but that's how the tension builds. However, each to their own. 😀

@FreddieUK it’s pretty old so I get it. Ever see Cooper in the Hanging Tree?

@4thdimensiondream Not seen that one.
