What's your favorite Western?

[Gaucho]

The Man from Snowy River is pretty good, too.

[Dirty Dan Dawkins]

Hmmm...."Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" Oh wait that ain't a western
The Cowboys
Blazin Saddles
McClintock
Winchester 73
Silverado
Dances with wolves ( More for the scenes , music, cinematography)
And for some reason Dark Command, guess I find that scene before Cantrell raids the town and the judge gets up and flips the lights on. Watch it, you'll see. I do get sick of hearing about Texas though.
Sorry, but all in all I like hokie, comical, inaccurate westerns best. Too much seriousness in my life to critique everything or to watch drama. Just like the action.
Any John Wayne or  about any b budget western. Bronson and Eastwood ok but a far cry from the Duke. His only equal is Jimmy Stewart.

[Cyrille]

I like Duke of course, Jimmy Stewart is great, Gary Cooper, Gregory Peck, Eastwood, Randolph Scott. I also like Tommy Lee Jones, he was supurb as Woodrow Call, and good in Missing, The last one I've seen starring him is s-l-o-w, the primise is good in 'the Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada' but the story drags and drags and d----ags-----

[Blue Steel Traveller]

Tom Horn - Linda Evans in the water
Big Jake - Richard Boone as Fein, played the most ruthless character of any movie (not just Westerns)
Searchers - Ol Mose sure was crazy

[Ornery Orr]

In the late 70's or early 80's there was a movie in the theaters based on The Lone Ranger T.V. series.  I don't remember what the movie was titled or who starred in it.  That was pretty good since I had grown up on The Lone Ranger and Hopalong Cassidy.

I believe it was titled "The Legend of the Lone Ranger" it had to be in the early or mid eighties because my son was old enough then to apprecate it just as I was in the fifties to enjoy the T.V. series.

[Three Legged Pete]

I'm a little late to this here hoe down, but I'll put my two bits worth in anyway.  I know it ain't authentic, but I haven't seen anybody mention "The Balad of Cable Hogue" with Jason Robards.  Great movie, and Stella Stevens (showin my age here) ain't bad neither.  Love the line in there where somebody tells Robard's character "Vengence is mine, sayeth the Lord".  He replies "Thats fine with me.  Long as he don't take too long and I get to watch."  Hell, who ain't felt like that at one time or another.

[Virginia Reb]

To put movie titles down would be way to long of a list for me.  So, I will just put down my favorite actors in westerns and some of my favorite movies by them.

1) John Wayne (Rio Lobo, Chisum)
2) Jimmy Stewart (The Man from Laramie, Bend in the River, The Man who Shot Liberty Valence)
3) Glen Ford (Cowboy, The Fastest Gun Alive)
4) Gary Cooper (High Noon)
5) Audie Murphy (The Quick Gun, No Name on the Bullet)
6) Sam Elliott (Tombstone, The Shadow Riders)
7) Clint Eastwood (Unforgiven, The Outlow Josey Wales)

This is just a short list.  I pretty much haven't seen a western movie that I didn't like.  There are many other actors and movies that I didn't list here

[W.T.]

Most underrated Western with great performances (Harry Dean Stanton, Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson) is the bizarre & slightly psycho "Missouri Breaks" ("He shot my dog 'cause he caught him puttin' his tongue on a pat of butter.  I wanted to put a bullet in his brain-pan.")

"Tom Horn" is the Steve McQueen movie.

"Unforgiven" - has it all.

"The Long Riders" - just plain cool.

"The Grey Fox" - with Richard Farnsworth ranks up there with "The Shootist" as a man-out-of-his-time theme piece.

[Mustang Gregg]

Tombstone & Quigley.

[Ransom Gaer]

This is a tough one.  I can't think of one that is my absolute favorite.  There are too many that I like a lot.

But here is a partial list in no particular order.

Open Range(watching it right now on the tv)
Tombstone(like it seems everybody else I like Kilmer's Doc)
The Mountain Men("Never been lost.  Fearsome confused for a month or two, but never lost.")
Outlaw Josey Wales
Support Your Local Sheriff
McClintock
Big Jake
Rio Lobo
Quigley Down Under
The Long Riders(especially the period music throughout the movie.)
And thanks to the Westerns Channel I've been introduced to Hopalong Cassidy.  I'm too young to have seen those movies in their heyday, but now with DVD's I can watch them any time I want to.  I love those Hoppy movies.

Ransom Gaer

[Free Hand]

                 Tombstone, Quigley, Frisco Kid with Harrison Ford and Gene Wilder, Pale Riider, Blazing Saddles, and, If they're right for the category, The Alamo (John Wayne's, haven't seen the newest one) and Jeremiah Johnson.

Free Hand.

Interesting that you should mention Last Man Standing.  It was a remake of Fistful of Dollars which was already a remake of Japan's Yojimbo.

I didn't know that when I sat down to watch it, but as it got going, I slowly started to see the similarities.  I never knew for sure until a few years later.
