    Good Westerns are great. Try watching Tombstone, Fistful of Dollars, or The Wild Bunch.

    Out of the box westerns, try Quick and the Dead.

    Depressing, go for Hostiles.

    Of if you need something modern, just watch the original run of Justified. Best show ever.

    I can honestly say I don't think I've watched one single western. Not even the ones that everyone went apeshit over in the 90's. I think I caught a few minutes of one in the 80's when my grampa accidentally taped the wrong channel when he was supposed to be taping Saturday Night's Main Event for me. Imagine me, at 12 years old...GUTTED. 
    I'm not generally a fan of westerns at all, but there are a handful of really amazing stand outs for me:
    The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
    Unforgiven
    The Revanant
    Dances with Wolves (i think that qualifies)
    True Grit (2010)
    Brokeback Mountain (one of my favourite films ever)
    The Power of the Dog
    There Will Be Blood (also one of my favourite films ever)
    Django Unchained (obviously)
    The Hateful Eight isn't bad.

    I know there are a couple more I'm not remembering. But most westerns, particularly old ones, suck ass IMO, especially John Wayne ones.

    Surely you've seen some of those HFD??

    k, I've seen the bolded. After I wrote I had never seen one, I guess I meant I hadn't seen any of the classic ones (pre 2000's). And I guess I never considered Brokeback a western.

    Yeah, I agree that classic westerns are generally awful. I would like to encourage you to watch The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly though. It really is a masterpiece.

    Oh yeah. Hang Em High and High Plains Drifter are also good ones. Especially the latter - it is so dark and artistic. Eastwood westerns were largely their own genre almost, compared to the rest of the classics. They were so much more creative. His westerns were like the Johnmy Cash of movies, lol.

    Definitely Musk in a villain role. He’s got to use that new shiny chainsaw somewhere. (I’m so embarrassed/upset with my country currently. 😞)

    I saw all 3 of those last week! I think Companion was my favorite. Cap was fine (Mackie needed a better script), and I liked The Gorge more than I thought.
  • soph189soph189 Posts: 472
    ^hah great minds! I saw them all this week and agree. Companion was a fun watch. Cap wasn’t the best marvel film, but also not the worst. And The Gorge was decent.
