What's your favorite western movie?
I saw a few on TV this weekend and thought of your broad this category is and there are so many classics, so I was curious to see what everyone liked.

The 2 I saw on TV were Tombstone and Unforgiven, really loved both of them.

    I've never seen most of the old classics that I always hear people talking about, but a newer favorite of mine was True Grit. And Unforgiven was awesome of course.

    Anything Clint... but my fav's by far are the Trinity movies.. They call me Trinity, Trinity is still my name, and a couple more can't remember.

    Those movies are really old but funny as hell. Definite recommend if you like westerns.

    The Outlaw Josey Wales

    close runner up is Unforgiven, the last 30 minutes are some of the best stuff ever!

    I think half of my top 10 would be Clint. 'Squint with Clint' is one of my favorite TV marathons when they play a bunch of his movies back to back.

    The Frisco Kid is one of my all time favourites in the Westerngenre, I also liked Unforgiven and Goin' South.

    <- and this for some odd reason. Or Tarantino in general.

    I'm quite excited for Django Unchained. Westerns are a forgotten genre lately.

    The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is my favourite. I like the other two as well.
    Unforgiven, Tombstone, Wyatt Earp, Young Guns..there's lots of good and/or entertaining westerns.

    Whats the Clint Eastwood movie where he's the ghost of a man the town lynched for personal gain and he comes back to get his revenge?

    That was Awesome!

    The Searchers is definitely in the top 5, can't have a western thread without the duke.

    Big Jake is a fave.

    The Searchers, Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Mag. Seven, love all of those.

    Also Red River.

    Yeah, all those classic ones, especially with John Wayne. Stagecoach. But the recent True Grit was much better than the first.

    Unforgiven is top notch. Watched it again recently. Also liked Open Range. The Long Riders is a really good one about the James-Younger gang. It features brothers (Carradine, Keach, Quaid) playing brothers.

    Don't know if it counts as a Western but I really like Bad Day at Black Rock.

    "Looks like we're shy one horse."
    "You brought two too many."

    I saw this for the first time about 35 years ago on late night TV. I tuned in on the middle of it and watched till the end. A few months later I did exactly the same thing. It was a long time before I got to watch it from the beginning. Then I read something about it that said "This movie makes more sense if you watch the second half first." :lol:
