How 'bout this..."least favorite Western"...

[Trinity]

TOP OF THE WORST EVER LIST

Dead Man's Bounty
     Can't even bring maself ta type a review, cause then I'd have ta relive the horrible experience of watching it.  Not bearable.

Obviously you haven't seen Blueberry.  At least it has a couple cute gals in it.  (I'm partial to Juliette Lewis... yes, I know I'm strange)

[Leo Tanner]

Well in DMB there is a gal who can't stay in her top ta save her life but it don't help none.

The Missouri Breaks. Marlon Brando in a dress.

But no one ever looked better in western duds than Harry Dean Stanton. Pity he didn't do more.

[Texas Lawdog]

Marlon would definitely be a Plus size! Pitiful!

[Leo Tanner]

The Missouri Breaks. Marlon Brando in a dress.

But no one ever looked better in western duds than Harry Dean Stanton. Pity he didn't do more.

I thought Jack was perty good in that one.

[Texas Lawdog]

Harry Dean looks like he's had a hard life. It looks like he's had more than his fair share of Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll.

[mike highgate]

He looks like a sharecropper who's had a mess of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. He's got that look down pat.

Dead Man with Johnny Depp.  The look wasn't bad.  Too bad they didn't have a story to film.

There is a story in there.  I thought it was well done.  Neil Young's guitar only added to it, thank God not his voice.

[Texas Lawdog]

Ol' Johnny needs to stick to Pirate movies.

That horried Brad Pitt , Jesse James movie....ugggg

That really was a stinker...!

[Old Doc]

Yeah, the Brad Pitt movie was a real stinker. I should have known better.

Hated The Missouri Breaks. probably a good movie spoiled by Brando's self-indulgence.

The only cowboy movie I ever walked out on was Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid. Maybe I was just in a bad mood that night but it was like watching grass grow.

Also not a big fan of Maverick which is now all over the Westerns Channel. Love Jim Garner, particularly Rockford but Maverick was just a bit too cute. I am developing a taste for Cheyenne, however.

[Skeeter Lewis]

Personally, I thought Silverado was hopeless. Boring and inauthentic.

[MAJ Liberty Bell]

A couple of us here watched that last weekend. First time I had ever watched it without falling asleep.

Other than the music, that movie blows in more directions than a hurricane!!!!

Civil War Siege in New Mexico? In a canyon with nothing else around? Did they even know about the Civil War in New Mexico before it was over?

All the weapons were cartridge.....

And what happened to the plot?

Man that thing was bad......

[Don Nix]

I love this thread. Some of these movies are so bad that I am unable to watch..
The goodbadand ugly is one of them. But in facr a majot campaign by Confedrate forces in New Mexico led to  some pitched battles. Read about the Glorieta pass battle in 1862.
The same goes for Lonesome Dove. Its probably my all time favorite movie because it contained so much historical fact.
Larry Mcmurtry is the biggest plagiarist in the country and wins a Pulitzer prize.
He developed his characters and dialog straight out of J. Frank Dobies book Cow People. The lives of Goodnight, Loving,Slaughter, Pierce and many more whose stories have been cataloged for generations. Plus he pulled characters from other screenplays.
The characters July Johnson and Roscoe Bookbinder are from the story and screen play  for Bandolero written by Stanley Hough.
He used Dee Boot, Blue Duck,  Isom Dart and many more historical characters . It goes on and on. The true stories that he melded together won him a pulitzer prize.
if a student had submitted  the book in a creative writing college class,they would have been kicked out for plagairism.

Most people here will probably agree with us on that...

Hated The Missouri Breaks. probably a good movie spoiled by Brando's self-indulgence.

Another movie we agree on. The missouri breaks could have really be a good movie, if Brando would have just been left out of the cast. I have never been a fan of Marlon Brando...

The only cowboy movie I ever walked out on was Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid. Maybe I was just in a bad mood that night but it was like watching grass grow.

I walked out within thirty minutes of the start, of that movie. Strange thing about the Christopherson "Pat Garret and Billy the Kid" movie, it was directed by Sam Peckinpah, who directed one of my all time favorite movies, "The Wild Bunch." I wonder what could have happened? Maybe Peckinpah was spending too much time looking at Rita Cooledge. She divorced Christopherson, right after that mopvie.

Christopherson was on a local PBS channel this afternoon, singing, if it can be called that. Christopherson can write really some good songs, but damn, does he ever sound bad when he sings...! Christopherson's singing, sounds like the mating call of a love sick Yak... I switched the channel.

Also not a big fan of Maverick which is now all over the Westerns Channel. Love Jim Garner, particularly Rockford but Maverick was just a bit too cute. I am developing a taste for Cheyenne, however.

Cutsie-pie westerns just don't cut it do they?

Bill, I think you and I need to grab some beers and watch a few westerns together. We seem to have similar tastes.

Well Skeeter, I share the same gripe about it not being authentic, but I've been rather fond of Silverado since my childhood.

But then again it is geared toward family. And that can be trying for some of us who desire a bit more grit in our westerns.

Myself included. 

[Drayton Calhoun]

How about this one...Grim Prairie Tales. Western/horror anthology. Sort of a 'Grindhouse' for the Old West. LAME

[mestiza letty]

"Bad Girls" was a stinker too
