Quoted: Nahhh.... Stagecoach or The Big Trail maybe? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Duke's best was angel and the bad man. ![]() Nahhh.... Stagecoach or The Big Trail maybe? My wife gave me a dvd of The Big Trail. The scope of that movie shocked me. The sheer number of the cast; location; etc. That movie could not be replicated today. The cost would be prohibitive - no studio today could do it. |

The searchers
The outlaw Josey Wales The wild bunch The Magnificent Seven The good the bad & the ugly The Searchers And The searchers Honorable Mention The man who shot liberty vallance Stage coach |

My favorite seems to shift from time to time.
Cowboy movie specifically, or western in general? I love outlaw josey Wales and Unforgiven, but neither are “cowboy” movies IMO. Neither is “the searchers” (great westerns all, though) Lonesome Dove is great. Open Range is pretty good. |

Are you fukkin' kidding me? ![]() ![]() 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 |

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://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/CVtIZDnbV6t4Fee8FD9_ITAitLuam3y2Yg1Aluskr-ACFoKn2DQiqX8Ke0eHED2avEdXL7k-7YbhpHKk2xtl4_94iKN7Yq9fBT_o52lUGmmZ9X-akvLNvJefoHdCCKf_HbwTHK0LNVvQKXC1xE5PvLQgHQxHPXiyAA6XxX3hO0On-1AaBiE 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 View Quote I think I love you; and that makes me uncomfortable. |

My favorite western, and JW movie, is The Searchers. While I do love Rio Bravo, McLintock, Big Jake, Chisum, etc., The Searchers is by far my favorite movie of his.
I don't know if any of those are the "best"; but they are some of my favorites. Tombstone is also one of my favorite westerns. Along with the "Man With No Name" trilogy, with Eastwood, and The Outlaw Josey Wales. |
|
The Big Country
The Far Country Destry The Naked Spur These are good to watch |
|
|
|
|
|
Amd not a western per se, but it has the atitude and"feel" of one, The Highwaymen with Costner and Harrelson is fantastic
|
|
That one and the similar one with Dean Martin are a couple of "westerns" that I can watch every once in a while and not get tired of.
|
|
Netflix must be for people that will just watch whatever is offered. Not a damn one of these is available.
I don't pay for netflix btw. |

Quoted: HONORABLE MENTION: Ride The High Country -with Randolph Scott and Joel MCrea. It was Randolph Scott's last movie; he retired immediately there after and drove home to North Carolina. Joel McCrea only made a few more. View Quote Great movie. They both made enjoyable Westerns but this is probably the best movie either one of them made. The Tall T and Ride Lonesome are also among Randolph Scott’s best. |

Quoted: I’ve spent a lot of time searching out and visiting as many filming locations all over southern Arizona. From Old Tucson to Tombstone, happy valley and countless other areas all around here. It’s amazing how many were filmed here. View Quote Never been there. But on my bucket list. I know I see certain scenes in a bunch of Westerns. Especially certain big rocks. |
