Big Sarge Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 The New York Film Academy has ranked the following films as the best westerns: 1. High Noon 2. Shane 3. Broke Back Mountain 4. Unforgiven 5. Wild Bunch I quickly noticed there were no John Wayne films included. Heresy, I say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Among other things, #3 ain't a Western. The others all have distinct merits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Hombre Sin Nombre Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I never watched Broke Back Mountain, but Heath Ledger was a very talented actor It's a very good movie with fantastic acting, but a western? I wouldn't call it that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never saw it and never will but you're right, it's not a western! It's a nod to the politically correct from the politically correct crowd!

Charlie Whiskers Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 High Noon...ok Unforgiven...ok The rest of them, you've got to be kidding. Too many good ones done before and after those. Never did like Shane. Wild Bunch wasn't an old period western. It was a modern dated try at a western. I liked it but it doesn't fit into the old west category. No more than Bonnie and Clyde would have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
