OT- What's your favorite Western?
I know a lot of people don't care for Westerns but my grandfather got me hooked on war movies and Westerns. My Favorite Western stars Jimmy Stewart and is called "Winchester '73." If you haven't seen it, you should check it out. Some others that I love include
-Stagecoach: Starring a young Duke
-The Good, The Bad and The Ugly: Clint
-The Gunfighter: My man Gregory Peck
-Shane: Alan Ladd, a classic
-The Tin Star: with Henry Fonda and Anthony Perkins
What say you MGoBrethren?
Kevin Costner had a good role in Silverado.
The Searchers is one of the Duke's best. John Wayne played an anti hero in this one. A classic scene occurs when Futterman tries to bushwack Wayne and his companion. The Duke uses his "nephew" for bait and before he delivers the kill shot, he yells out Futterman!
Sam Peckinpah's "The Wild Bunch"..."Butch Cassisy & the Sundance Kid" just doesn't seem to fit the "western" genre--more of a buddy movie set in the west.
The Wild Bunch is a freaking awesome movie. I recommend it to everyone when talking about movies. That movie was ahead of its time
It smells like somebody died.

Django Unchained & The Hateful Eight were both outstanding flicks! God bless you Tarantino!!!
I'm a huge Tarantino fan and it was good to see he still has it. I just wish he was more prolific.
Also, Blazing Saddles.
"Hello, boys. Have a good night? I missed you."

Treasure of the Sierra Madre?
Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!
Great movie! Bogart and Tim Holt in a battle of greed.
Once Upon a Time in the West
Tombstone
Unforgiven
I'm just throwing this out there even though I know it's a TV Show that might become a movie, you HoopleHeads.
Deadwood
Deadwood was so badass. Can't believe they only ran that for 3 seasons. Canceling that show was criminal!

My list (in no particular order)
- 3:10 to Yuma (both versions, actually).
- The Searchers
- Broken Arrow
- Jeremiah Johnson
- The Treasure of Sierra Madre
I was hoping someone would have given Jeremiah Johnson it's due. Many of my favorites were already mentioned, but I wanted to make sure Jeremiah Johnson made this list. Can you skin a Grizzly?
With an "E".
"Didn't put enough dirt down. Saw it right off".
I pulled the "Saw it right off" line with my wife once. She didn't take it as well as Redford did.
I've done the same. With the same reaction.

Tombstone - Classic lines and my favorite version of the Wyatt Earp legend
The Magnificent Seven - Amazing Cast and great action
Rio Bravo - My favorite John Wayne movie and one of these lists without a John Wayne movie would be wrong.
Blazing Saddles - One of the funniest movies ever made that would not make it half a second into the story pitch today.
you also get Dean Martin crooning, "My Rifle, my pony and me." Great movie.
was the icing on that cake. All around good cast, if not a bit unusual.
Old Stumpy!!
Tombstone
Young Guns
Dances with Wolves
The Hateful Eight
Hateful Eight was excellent I was very surprised!
Tarantino flick with Kurt Russell, Samuel L. Jackson, & Michael Madsen....
Tarantino has never let me down. The man is a legend.
