Quote HistoryQuoted: As a non-boomer, I'm gonna say either Tombstone or Unforgiven. Shouldn't a "Cowboy film" at least contain some storyline related to cowboys or cattle ranches? I mean, sure, I guess the antagonist gang in "Tombstone" called themselves "Cowboys." But, can that really count? Judges? |

El Dorado is one of the most enjoyable.
IMHO, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence is the best western movie. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Rio Lobo was good. But for my two bits I think Rio Bravo was better. Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson were awesome. Anything with dean Martin is a clear winner in my book   |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Outlaw Josey Wales. Eastwood > Wayne. Fight me.  Bannanate this man!!!  Actually, they both were damn good. They were from different eras, tho; apparently Wayne saw "High Plains Drifter" with the rape scene, and said he'd never work with Eastwood. Too bad; that would've been an epic pairing.

I like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. It is a great buddy/western movie with "some historical relevance". The revised 3:10 to Yuma with Russell Crowe was pretty good.

And it was pretty good. I also enjoyed the newer one. I thought it was a pretty good movie. Kim Darby ruined the first one. Hailee made the 2nd. Lebowski did just good enough for the 2nd to be the winner. JW hated KD. Apparently he's not alone: She's been married four times, one time for just over a month. Sounds like she personifies the term "Cat Lady". |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. It is a great buddy/western movie with "some historical relevance". The revised 3:10 to Yuma with Russell Crowe was pretty good. I look at Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid as an anti-western. When Leone was making an homage to the genre, George Roy Hill was making a film to kill it off. Don't get me wrong, I like the film a lot, but it essentially is signifying the death of the western and the time/generation that embraced the ideology of those films. That is emblematic of the year during which it was made. Times they were a changin' |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Anyone who says anything other than Lonesome Dove is wrong, and should be ashamed of themselves. Lonesome Dove is most likely the best ever (I know it’s actually a made for tv miniseries). El Dorado is one of my favorite John Wayne movies. Probably right behind The Shootist. |

Lonesome dove is the best by far. Unforgiven is also a great movie. Support your local sheriff and blazing saddles are the best comedies.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Near-Western? Proto-Western? How about "refreshing breath of fresh air when it came out, as that era and perspective is wholly neglected in American story-telling?" Agree. Sure, no cows or cowboys but a frontier movie, so proto-western is good. I was going to say those don't get made anymore but think there are some out there. But I will stop the hijack since its off topic. |

Take a decent story line
add some good john ford type scenery toss in some hamfisted romantic bullshit mix in costner, the death knell to any good movie for 30 years then rely on the powerhouse robert duvall to make a suckass movie watchable, but still crappy and thats how you get open range |

Quote HistoryQuoted: https://gifsec.com/wp-content/uploads/GIF/2014/04/disappointed-gif_1.gif?gs=a%20Regarding%20the%20Warriors,%20the%20game%20that%20Rockstar%20made%20of%20that%20movie%20was%20extremely%20well%20done. If you are going to post the best western film, and it stars John Wayne, it better be The Searchers Unforgiven is a pretty damned good, non John Wayne western. However, Once Upon A Time In The West is the best because it was written by three great filmmakers (Argento, Bertolucci and Leone) that inserted a ton of homages to the most noteworthy westerns in cinematic history. What a great entrance for Bronson https://thumbs.gfycat.com/MeaslyThoughtfulBobcat-size_restricted.gif Couple that with Morricone's score, complete with an experimental diegetic sound orchestration for the opening scene and awesome intertwining of each character's leitmotif at the showdown between Harmonica and Frank, it's incredible. Not to mention Henry Fucking Fonda as one bad motherfucker. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/w_zAWrGPk_DKDsOCfrCvrffvxhasbNxpShwLbZRzV8NEL74LuhUGj64lBDcF_GKJqOIcxY8K2Go01xMj2_0ydkNi97unNQHWswHqHNyKzM7qgb5aaXs6 Oh, I almost forgot Claudia Cardinale https://i.pinimg.com/236x/34/ed/4c/34ed4cc23fd659e93213574fdacdf905--claudia-cardinale-movie-characters.jpg This is the right answer.

I don't think it was suckass or crappy. I KNOW it's not AMAZING but it just works for me. I also think Tombstone, while very good, is the most overrated western ever made.
