Whats your favourite western film?

[Alex H]

Too much sex, violence and bad language for me.

Just too much for me.

 

[EltonFrog]

Cowboys & Aliens.

Paint Your Wagon gets my vote for the best Musical Western.

Better than Calamity Jane??? Surely not! 😲

Don't forget Cannibal! The Musical.

Young guns 2.

It’s a bit naff with the Brat pack cast but has the distinguishing feature of being far better than young guns 1. And has a great sound track.

I am a huge western fan. My favorite would have to be the Big Country. The acting by Burl Ives was superb and deserved his Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

3:10 to Yuma original 1957 version.
Shane
High Noon
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

If we're allowed Australian ones; The Proposition

This. Absolutely this.

I'd also add:

No Country for Old Men
Deadwood (not a film but a TV show, I don't care, it's amazing)
Meek's Cutoff
Bone Tomahawk
Django Unchained

I think Wind River would run a very close second to Hell or High Water for a modern take on the genre. The climactic shootout scene is fantastic. When Jeremy Renner takes on heavily armed bad guys with the Marlin 1895SBL big game hunting rifle the results are spectacular.

Can we have a slight thread diversion and do Western books;
The Thicket - Joe R Landsdale
Blood Meridian - Cormac McCarthy
Lonesome Dove - Larry McMurtry

There's a few others but those were the first that came to mind.

Cactus Jack with Kirk Douglas and Arnold Schwarzenegger

Dont recall seeing that one though the title rings a bell. I must google it.
Cant recall Kirk ever being in a bad film.
