The 25 Best Westerns of All Time (http://www.foxnews.com/slideshow/entertainment/2010/05/11/best-westerns-time/?test=faces#slide=1)

Where is High Plains Drifter? I'm diggin' 21, 12 & 7, nothing like old school Eastwood.

[Irving]

Aren't they all pretty much the same?

EDIT: I tried posting a Best Western Logo but it won't show up.

[Marlin]

McCabe and Mrs. Miller??????

The fact it is even on the the list is bad enough. But, better than Silverado or Fistful of Dollars... Ahhhh, no..

[Bang]

[Jumpstart]

Little Big Man. I'll watch it everytime. The Wild Bunch -excellent. Westerns is cool.

[Irving]

I've seen two of those (bet you can guess which two) and parts of some others.

Is the movie with the line, "we ain't got no stinking badges!" on there?

[Marlin]

Yes, Treasure of Sierra Madre..

Never really tought of that as a "Western" though.

[ToliXD]

Tombstone is a great flick!!!!!!!!!!

[Marlin]

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, better than True Grit? [LOL]

Hello, Just "Who" took home the oscar that year..

Hell of a better story also..

[Elhuero]

I don't know why everyone now hates dances with wolves so much, I liked it.

[Marlin]

I don't know why everyone now hates dances with wolves so much, I liked it.

Well, it was definatly better than McCabe and Mrs. Miller..[Tooth]

[Mista Bukit]

It may not be what they are looking so it's not listed for but it's a western and one of my favorites

Blazing Saddles [LOL]

[Marlin]

That, and Evil Roy Slade..[LOL]

[sniper7]

I don't know why everyone now hates dances with wolves so much, I liked it.


I did too!

[sniper7]

I am glad they had Butch and Sundance on there...great movie!
also liked the good, the bad and the ugly

3:10 to Yuma is definitely a good "newer" western!

Unforgiven I liked



Not necessarily a western but I think Jeremiah Johnson should have been on there as I love that movie!

[Mtn.man]

+1 for Jerimiah J.

and they are remaking True Grit,, Jeff Bridges as John Wayne,, we will see..

[ThunderSquirrel]

It may not be what they are looking so it's not listed for but it's a western and one of my favorites

Blazing Saddles [LOL]

+1

And add McLintock!

[Brassie]

Cat Ballou

Lee Marvin was a hoot[Beer] and Jane Fonda?.. well never mind

[theGinsue]

I disagree with several of those on the list and that there are many that should be there that aren't.

I was getting worried when I didn't see The Searchers until #21. But what about Big Jake and The Cowboys; both John Wayne movies?

And what about Paint Your Wagon? Okay, I overstepped with that one.

[ThunderSquirrel]

I disagree with a few on the list myself... Think some really good ones were left off.
I think 'Last of the Dogmen' should be put on it. But some people may not see that as a 'Western.'

[sniper7]

I am sure glad none of you guys have said "broke back mountain should be in there"! I would have been extremely worried

[StagLefty]

I am sure glad none of you guys have said "broke back mountain should be in there"! I would have been extremely worried

[ROFL3]

[Marlin]

Paint Your Wagon?


Yeah but, it did prove The age old question, that Lee Marvin could sing better than Clint Eastwood..



[Tooth]

[Ah Pook]

The list doesn't work for me. :rolleyes:

He's a few of my favs;

My Name Is Nobody
Magnificent Seven
The Proffesionals
Outlaw Josey Wales
(insert just about an spaghetti western)
Rio Bravo
The War Wagon
Appaloosa
Blazing Saddles

Dance With Wolves would have been a great movie if KC would not have been in it.

[Irving]

What about City Slickers?

[ronaldrwl]

"The Searchers"

Who can hang with me on that olde? :)

My personal favorite,, Plus it was the inspiration of another one that I like; Star Wars..

[CrufflerSteve]

I also wonder what the heck McCabe and Mrs. Miller was doing on that list.

I think 'Open Range' really belonged there. I want Kevin Costner's 12 shooter. Despite that it is great.

I think 'Lonesome Dove' deserved an honorable mention. It is a min-series, not a movie but a real classic.

Give Robert Duval a great script and cowboy hat and all will be well.

[Rigger]

I think Unforgiven should have been higher on the list.

[roberth]

I can't believe they missed True Grit, if it is on while I'm surfing I watch it. Magnificent Seven should have been there too.

Paint Your Wagon is really good but in the same vein as Support your Local Sheriff (James Garner).

I really enjoyed Open Range.

[Bailey Guns]

Agreed - "Open Range" (or pretty much anything with Duvall) is pretty much tops on my list. "Unforgiven" is a close second.

I know it's not really a movie but "Lonesome Dove" is also one of my favorites.

[Elhuero]

open range, definitely.

when Kim Coates is bragging about killing charley's friend and liking it, and charley shoots him in the head without another word... one of my favorite scenes in all of film.

[Ah Pook]

"The Searchers"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Searchers_(film (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Searchers_%28film))

Who can hang with me on that olde? :)
Old favorites, eh?

The Mystery of the Hooded Horsemen (1937)
Giant (1956)
Laurel and Hardy Way Out West (1937) [Whacko]
Winchester '73 (1950)
