Once Upon a Time in the West

How the West was Won

These are high on my list

 

[Lj429]

A fistful of dollars
For a few dollars more
Both are solid Clint Eastwood westerns

I’m ashamed I haven’t seen any of the Leone spaghetti westerns

 

[Super Bee]

Longmire and Justified are two great series if you have not seen them. Not traditional westerns but kinda close, sorta, maybe.

 

[Mij]

All of the already listed movies. And I’m a fan of the modern Tom Selleck movies, Crossfire Trail, Monte Walsh, Last Stand at Saber River, and of course Quigly. I like the attention to real guns n leather kit.

Silverado

Open Range

Lonesome Dove

The Cowboys

The original Magnificent Seven

Unforgiven

The Wild Bunch

Love those !!! Silverado, IMHO, is the best western movie made during the 80's

 

[cg21]

Oh I almost forgot “hell on wheels” the series is also great. I should rewatch it….

 

[two70]

Quigley down under
The Saketts based on the book series by Louis La'more
There's another one based on a La'more book with Sam Elliot and Tom Selleck

Shadow Riders


Not traditional Westerns and not a lot of gun play but The Man from Snowy River and Return to Snowy River are good Western adjacent movies.

 

[Ingomike]

Did not see my favorite, Outlaw Josey Wales.

High Plains Drifter.

I was just looking at your lever gun thread are you turning into a cowboy? Or were you already one? Lol

Never even met you and you got me pegged. Pretty much turned into a cowboy over the last year lmao. Hats, boots, guns and all.

The good the bad and the ugly
Once apon a time in the west.
The searchers.

These three are for fans of movies and not fans of westerns. More of a I see what the music is saying and I hear what the picture is showing.

They are also good stories. I wrote my college movie class (had to take a elective and history of rock and roll was filled) thesis on the first 14 minutes of "once apon a time in the west".

My wife and I watched How The West Was Won last night (We'll, I watched it. I think she slept through it).
It's 2.5 hours and loaded with big-name stars of the day. Not exactly a Western as it starts around 1840 when Ohio WAS the West and runs well past the civil war.

 

[cosermann]

She Wore a Yellow Ribbon - John Wayne (acting), Monument Valley (setting), John Ford (directing) - all the elements of a classic western.

Trivia - the post headquarters building, where Captain Brittles is quartered in the film, still exists and is located at Goulding's Trading Post near Monument Valley. Cool to see if you’re out that way.

 

[Magyars]

Didn't see them listed.
Two of my favorites
The Professionals
And
#1
The wild bunch.....count how many times they say
"let's go!"
