Aunt Jen Posted May 23, 2011 Author Posted May 23, 2011 I'm sure the best 5 are in there, somewhere. But I'll have to sign off in 10 minutes. I have to watch Tom as Jesse Stone Aunt Jen Quote
Whiskey Business Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 2 of my favorites: McLintock! Two Mules for Sister Sara The Shootist The Cheyenne Social Club Outlaw Josey Wales Quote

Tombstone Aunt Jen Quote
Aunt Jen Posted May 23, 2011 Author Posted May 23, 2011 Ah! Ok. add Dances with Wolves. Now the order is all messed up. I'm guessing lists are better made with white wine instead of red. Aunt Jen Quote
Whiskey Business Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 TERROR OF TINY TOWN TF Never heard of that one. Looked it up on imdb.com. Found this description. An evil gunslinging midget comes to terrorize the good little people of Tiny Town. The townspeople organize to defeat him, and zany antics ensue. Quote

Serenity Aunt Jen a Aunt Jen as I am sitting here watching Jesse Stone...I think all you see is Tom Selleck...but I hate to break the news to ya but if you look past Tom you might notice that Jesse Stone movies are not westerns...just saying Quote

Sometimes my humor breaks through. I have a long history of teasing people, which I mostly keep in check around here as I don't know most of you. I slipped it in there for fun. Sometimes I get a snappy comeback, but it works best if the people know me better. Then, when I say something, dry, as if real, and they know I know better, they know I'm kidding... Aunt Jen Quote
Big Jake1001 Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Never heard of that one. Looked it up on imdb.com. Found this description. An evil gunslinging midget comes to terrorize the good little people of Tiny Town. The townspeople organize to defeat him, and zany antics ensue. Made in 1939, all the midgets, dwarfs, little people were in town to make The Wizard of Oz, and thought to make a Western. You should look at it, using Shetland Ponies and the costumes was great fun to watch. Just sayin' Big Jake Quote
Long Branch Louie Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 My favorites in no particular order: "Outlaw Josie Wales", Sons of Katie Elder", "Lonesome Dove", "Open Range", "Unforgiven", "El Dorado", "Quigley Down Under", just to name to few, there are many, many others... Quote
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 There are three kinds of people in the world: those who are good at math and those who are not. Good movies all though. Quote
Rye Miles #13621 Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Maybe this is the new math???? Oh well my top 13 are: Tombstone Unforgiven Open Range Riders of the Purple Sage Ride with the Devil Quote
Utah Bob #35998 Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 True. Sometimes my humor breaks through.

Aunt Jen If you were here more often then you would know us better....and we you. Simple fix. Stay here. Post more. And no, you cannot make lists better with white wine. The only acceptable cowboy list beverges are beer, bourbon, and rye. Red wine is acceptable for ladies. Quote
Blackwater 53393 Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 In no particular order, The Searchers, Once Upon A Time In The West, Conagher, Unforgiven, and Stagecoach. Quigley, Lonesome Dove, The Cowboys, Tombstone, and The Outlaw Josey Wales would be my second tier, again in no particular order. Quote
Marshal Dan Troop 70448 Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) Everytime a survey comes like this, with a limited number. Be it 5, 10, or 20, seems they always go beyond the stated limits. I don't blame them, its hard to limit westerns. I would like to add 3 westerns that were my favorite to see when I was younger, since you got to see many western "B" stars in the same picture on 2 of them. What more could one ask for? Roy Rogers Bells of Rosarita and Trails of Robin Hood filled with great western stars besides Roy. Also Roy Rogers last film, a classic, especially when he's on the bronc, and the song part, "look at him now,broken down cowboy, onetime he was King of the Cowboys---", Macintosh and TJ. Surprise this film isn't seen today. MT Edited May 23, 2011 by Marshal Troop, SASS #70448 Quote
Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Here's my top five: Lonesome Dove Streets of Laredo Conagher Sacketts Long Riders P.S. I've never see Riders of the Purple Sage. Is it on DVD somewhere? Quote
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 P.S. I've never see Riders of the Purple Sage. Is it on DVD somewhere? Yes, Amazon has it for 10.99. I don't know if anyone else carries it. Quote
Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Yes, Amazon has it for 10.99. I don't know if anyone else carries it. The reviews say Amazon screwed up. That DVD is just an audio of someone reading the book. Quote
Buckshot Frank Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Here are a couple noteworthy westerns: The Gunfighter (Gregory Peck)- The first grown-up western. High Noon- If Hitchcock ever made a western, this would be it. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence- John Wayne as an anti-hero. Fistfull of Dollars- Introduction of the spagetti western to US audience. Then of course I have to throw in all of the usually favorites: Tombstone, The Unforgiven, Outlaw Josey Wales, etc. Quote
Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Going South The Apaloosa High Noon The Big Country One Eyed Jacks Ye gads buds, I could go on and on... The Stalking Moon Stagecoach (the original) The Cowboys The Culpepper Cattle Company Monte Walsh (both) The Professionals The Wild Bunch The Missouri Breaks etc etc etc etc Quote
Jimmy Reb, SASS #54804 Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Its easier to say what I don't like,as i like most westerns. But I do NOT like blazing saddles. j-r Quote
Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Its easier to say what I don't like,as i like most westerns. But I do NOT like blazing saddles. j-r Me neither, and you can add "Seraphin Falls" and "Legends of the Fall" to that Quote
Utah Bob #35998 Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 I am not a movie critic. But I did stay at a Best Western once. Quote
Cypress Sun Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 My preference in order: 1 - Outlaw Josey Wales 2 - Tombstone 3 - The Wild Bunch 4 - The Long Riders 5 - The Searchers 6 - Blazing Saddles (okay, it may not be a real western, but it is funny) 7 - Wyatt Earp (yes I said it) 8 - Once upon a Time In The West 9 - Good, Bad and Ugly 10- Rio Lobo Quote
Arcadia Outlaw, SASS 71385 Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 My preference in order: 1 - Outlaw Josey Wales 2 - Tombstone 3 - The Wild Bunch 4 - The Long Riders 5 - The Searchers 6 - Blazing Saddles (okay, it may not be a real western, but it is funny) 7 - Wyatt Earp (yes I said it) 8 - Once upon a Time In The West 9 - Good, Bad and Ugly 10- Rio Lobo Take out #7 and put Open Range near top & we got us a top 10 Quote
Dodo Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 1. Shane 2. Red river 3. Westerner 4. Fistful of dollars 5. Roe bravo Really it's hard to put down just five movies when there it should be your top 50 that would be a little easier. Just saying! Quote
DocWard Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) There is no way I could limit myself to five favorites, nor could I put them in order. What I will try to do is list my ten "Desert Island" favorites. You know, I'm stranded on an island, but I just happen to have electricity, a DVD player and a TV... Eldorado Big Jake Shane High Noon The Sacketts Tombstone Silverado Quigley Down Under The Outlaw Josey Wales Blazing Saddles If we add TV series to that I can probably do five: The Wild Wild West High Chaparral Have Gun, Will Travel Bonanza Gunsmoke (I figure between Bonanza and Gunsmoke I should be able to watch until I'm rescued or blind with old age.) Edit: Ahh crud, I forgot about The Magnificent Seven Edited May 23, 2011 by DocWard Quote
theywalkamongus Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 I'll play. Red River She Wore a Yellow Ribbon Jeremiah Johnson Outlaw Jose (you gone a pull them pistols or whistle Dixie) Wales Glory Quote
