What are your favorite westerns?
Do you prefer Spaghetti westerns or revisionist westerns or perhaps more toward more traditional/"classic" westerns? Personally a fan of Spaghetti westerns and of course liked all of the Man With No Name films with Clint Eastwood. Moving onward... I liked the re-adaptation of 3:10 To Yuma and want to see True Grit. Unforgiven was another good one and a nice deconstruction of the genre. The Proposition is just plain a phenomenal film in general. I'd recommend it to anyone for a good film, but advise that it's graphic and heartbreaking. |

I'm very particular about my Westerns. I have to be in a mood (which is rare).
A few I have in my collection.... Spaghetti... A Fistful Of Dollars For A Few Dollars More The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly Four of the Apocalypse The Great Silence Once Upon A Time In The West Modern... Young Guns The Quick & The Dead (Raimi's version) The Proposition The Assassination of Jesse James Sephrim Falls The Three Amigos (it could qualify though) Can't stand "The Duke", or most of Eastwood's non-Leone westerns. |

I agree, 3:10 To Yuma, and True Grit were both excellent remakes.
I'm anticipating Quentin Tarantino's upcoming Western- Django Unchained. (I'm including genre mixes) Lonesome Dove Tombstone Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly Pale Rider Appaloosa The Magnificent Seven Blazing Saddles Westworld The Quick And The Dead '95 The Wild Bunch True Grit Rooster Cogburn Silverado Rio Bravo (the original Assault On Precinct 13!) The Good, The Bad, And The Weird Sukiyaki Western Django Jeremiah Johnson Ghost Town '88 El Topo Once Upon a Time in the West Ravenous My Name Is Nobody The Villain Two Mules for Sister Sara My Name Is Trinity Cat Ballou The White Buffalo The Beguiled Dead Birds The Burrowers Support Your Local Sheriff! Broken Arrow '50 Goin' South |

I liked all the Westerns with Trinity in them. Torgo has one of them listed with "My Name Is Nobody".

I really like "Vash The Stampede" even though it is an anime western.

I always say that the list of good westerns starts at "Once Upon a Time in the West." Between the vileness of the villain, the use of a pair of anti-heroes, a good story, cinematography, and musical score, it's a tough one to beat.
Torgo compiled a great list as well, I might add "Open Range" to that, as well as the only musical that is acceptable for a man to watch: "Paint Your Wagon." |

I just saw Jarmuish's Dead Man, the bean eating scene is second only to Blazing Saddles. I always feel compelled to make beans afterwards, but the are never as satisfying as they are portrayed in movies. I also tend to walk around for a week saying, "stupid f'ing white man"

This applies kind of loosely, but since mixed genres are there, I'd also list Near Dark.
A modern vampire film, but with subtle western elements. As per usual, Lance Henrikson was awesome in it and oddly so was Bill Paxton. |

Good call on Near Dark.

That reminds me. I have a bootleg copy of a film called "Sundown" also kinda like a vampire/western.
And starring the one & only Bruce Campbell! Haha. |

Roy Rogers! LOL. I loved him almost as much as Trigger when I was a little girl. Then I grew up a little and fell for Paladin.
What was that short-lived show Bruce Campbell was in with Comet the Wonder Horse? I liked that. For movies, Blazing Saddles, Cat Ballou, and Bite the Bullet come to mind. Not to mention Silverado and . . . da da dum . . . Butch Cassidy. I could watch that a million times. |

Just watched Sukiyaki Western Django last night... strange but I guess I liked it.
Pastiche films can be a lot of fun. It's something I loved with Brotherhood Of The Wolf/Le Pacte des loup. |
