What's your favorite Western?

[Willie Dixon]

The Searchers was a special movie. 

how I got to know the Duke... first Duke movie I ever saw.  I think I was four, changed me forever.

[Texas Lawdog]

Ethan's character was an anti-hero. He was a troubled man with scars from the War. He had probably gone outside the law after the War. He was a loner. He had family, but he had been away too long. It was not the same when he returned.  He probably should have gotten an Oscar for his role as Sgt. Striker in "Sands of Iwo Jima".

[Leo Tanner]

Yer right, he shoulda.  There was a great actor.

For me all time is..... Well look at my avatar Lonesome Dove Duh!

For comedy though... The rounders with Glen Ford and Henry Fonda, that Red Roan hoss stole the show, plus sometimes me and one of my pards see a little to much of our life in that movie going to college and working the hunting leases

The searchers is a good one, Tombstone... Heck I bet it's easier to name bad westerns and the only one I saw on here was "Quick and the dead" with Sharon Stone

[Skeeter Lewis]

Sir Charles - thanks for those clips from Rustler's Rhapsody. They made me chuckle.

hehe, my favorite western comedy has got to be...

hehe, Paint your Wagon!!

"No Name City!!!"  hehehe

[Stillwater]

What Horse Flatulence and Gun Smoke movie do I like the best? Good question...!

I have liked almost every western movie I have ever seen, even the bad ones are better than anything else.

The "Wild Bunch," "The Shootist," "Open Range," "Broken Trail," and "Rio Bravo," are standouts with me...

I hate musicals, but Lil finally talked me inta watchin that one.  Lee Marvin was great but the plot was horrible.  I aint sharin ma wife with no one, partner er not.

As far as No Name City goes, I did get chuckle when the first sign read, "population--men".

[Harley Starr]

My favorite westerns? Well............that one's kind of a long list right there, but let's arrow it down.
The Dollars Trilogy, Once Upon A Time In The West, 3:10 to Yuma(remake), Pale Rider, Unforgiven, The Outlaw Josey Wales, High Plains Drifter, Young Guns, and Silverado.
Just recently I've rediscovered another favorite called The Tracker starring Kris Kristofferson.

I just finished watching the absolute best shootout in film history. 

...In my opinion anyway.  There aren't many folks that like the movie, but that doesn't deter me.

Name that movie!

[Trinity]

Well, I'm invitin' nay-sayers, but...

Once Upon A Time in the West.  Charles Bronson and Henry Fonda. 

I watched the movie again over the weekend, but had to watch the gunfight (if you can call it that) again tonight before packing away the disc.

[Leo Tanner]

I don't think I've seen that one.   Watched The Good The Bad And The Ugly with ma daughter again taday.  It's great cause she loves it as much as I do.  She's the last person you would expect ta be watchin a western.

With Sergio Leone's western, it's not the moment of violence that he finds interesting, but the moment building up to it.

I gotta agree 100% with that.  That's what makes em good.

Good- because they're worth every dollar!

So true.  In those minutes leading up to the gun shot, the viewer finally gets to learn just what business "Harmonica" had with Frank.  And boy was it something.

[Willie Dixon]

Once Upon a Time in the West is a great film!  A lot of people don't get it or other westerns that seem to draw on, I try to explain to them that they are epics, set in a grand scale, over a longer period of time.  Sometimes that helps... Wyatt Earp, Dances With Wolves, Once Upon a Time in the West, Legends of the Fall, Assassination of Jesse James... they are all within the "Western" genre, but they are epics first.   Love Once Upon a Time, just finished watching it actually.

Without a doubt  "The Ballad of Cable Houge" is my favorite.  Difficult to find.  I finally after years found a single DVD of the movie and watch it about twice a year.  Got to find a way to make copies to send around so others can finally see my madness.

It plays frequently on TV, most recently the Encore Westerns Channel. It's the one, of which Peckinpaugh supposedly remarked, when criticized for the violence in his movies , "I made a movie once without any violence and nobody came to see the damned thing".
