Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 The other thread about that list of "Westerns" set me to thinking. (Don't worry, I took the battery out of the smoke detector). I know that we've done it before, but why not do it again. I'll start with a few of my favorites. In no particular order: (1) Tombstone. (2) Crossfire Trail. (3) Outlaw Josey Wales. (4) ElDorado. (5) Silverado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 What? Nobody mentioned Red River! Or How the West was Won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I've never understood why anyone liked Red River. John Wayne's character is an ass. And he's a thief. And if I was the cowboy that was stealing the sugar and caused the stampede, I would blow John Wayne's head off with a shotgun from hiding.

Warden Callaway Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Red River - John Wayne played a character that was dark and bitter. But the story and musical score was great. Aside from Montgomery Cliff, the cast was top notch. Howard Hawks was a capable director. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocWard Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 (edited) This'll take some thought on my part. My top ten fifteen. What can I say? I got to ten and realized there were a few I needed to add. Top five, middle five and bottom five ar generally in no particular order. I stopped short of including Blazing Saddles because it is a comedy first, western second. If I run across any of these playing, I'm watching. Tombstone The Magnificent Seven (original) The Outlaw Josey Wales Open Range Shane El Dorado (Michele Carey trumps Walter Brennan) Hang 'Em High The Shootist Quigley Down Under Silverado The Fastest Gun Alive Big Jake The Quick and The Dead (Based on the Louis L'amour novel with Sam Elliott) Last Stand at Saber River Two Mules for Sister Sara.

Blackwater 53393 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 My next ten. Again, in no particular order and no less worthy than the other ten. Stagecoach. (Original) The Far Country Broken Trail The Violent Men The Cowboys (just to see Bruce Dern get his ass whipped) For a Few Dollars More A Man Called Sledge Nevada Smith Rio Grande Man With The Gun (Mitchum) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if I was the cowboy that was stealing the sugar and caused the stampede, I would blow John Wayne's head off with a shotgun from hiding. The thing that really turned me off on Red River is not so much Wayne as pretty much a psychopath, as the fact that it all builds up to a fistfight and happy handshakes and reconciliation all 'round. Just plain weird...bizarre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
