The “Best Western” ever made, IMO
“Once Upon a Time in the West” Released in late 1968 from the Spaghetti Western guru Sergio Leone. 166 minutes long and worth it.
I watched it again last night. Probably seen this Great movie 10 times or more since 68. I never get tired of it. Awesome cast, Harmonica (Charles Bronson), Frank (Henry Fonda), Cheyenne (Jason Robards) and last but not least Jill McBain (Claudia Cardinale)=WOW! The music (Ennio Morricone) is Awesome! One of the most famous lines ...... “you brought Two Too Many”. Chris.

I’m partial to Eastwood but that one has so many heavies it is hard to top. Haven’t seen it in years; thanks for putting it on my radar.

How can there be only one? The American Western starting with the "Great Train Robbery" from the silent era all the way up to the 21st century. Hundreds of great films and great actors. Stewart, Wayne, Eastwood, Murphy, Bronson, Marvin, Albert Sidney Crenshaw, Fonda and many, many others.
I love True Grit and saw it at the Laurelton Drive-in in 1969. It is my favorite. |

The Wild bunch - perhaps my favorite - "We're gonna stick together, just like it used to be! When you side with a man, you stay with him!"
Shane - "Prove it" The Searchers - come on it's John Wayne - "That'll be the day" Hombre - "You got some hard bark on you mister" Nevada Smith - "You're Yella!!!" Wild Rovers - restored version with sad ending |

“Unforgiven” has to be on the list of great westerns.

Once Upon a Time in the West was ok, but I can live without ever seeing it again. I agree with Boogy, The Wild Bunch was about as good a western as you can ask for.

I watched Pale Rider last night for the 3rd time or so. I’d have to go with The Outlaw Josey Wales as the best. A Fistful of Dollars ain’t bad, either.

I grew up at the tail end of the western craze, Gunsmoke and Bonanza were regulars on our black and white tv set. One of my favorite shows as a kid was the rifelman. But, I dont think I have watched a western since Carter was president. I always liked 'The Cowboys' with John Wayne.

The Long Riders about the James Gang is one of my favorites. I thought it was cool that they had real brothers play brothers in the movie. The knife fight scene in the bar with the Bowie knives was pretty gritty.

I'm partial to High Planes Drifter "Who are you!?!?!?", Jeremiah Johnson "same place you are Jeremiah, hell in the end" and both of the John Wayne / Rooster Cogburn "fill your hand, you son of a bitch!" movies.
