From this thread, I was inspired to start Once Upon A Time last night. I have seen parts of it over the years I guess flipping thru the box, but never the whole thing. I am halfway thru it and will watch rest tonight. Sergio was brilliant in many ways. I've seen his Clint ones, but this must have been his masterpiece. The fly scene alone is genius cinematography and directing. Who would even think to try a scene like that today. It would have computer magic added for sure to even achieve that, and you would know it. I will say the music is wild operatic almost, but pretty cool. The sound effects throughout are clever. The ying and yang, slow to fast, calm to chaos, normal to insane, the shifts are never ending. Great effin movie, even just halfway. Edit to add that any aspiring actor should watch this movie. Some of the best non verbal stuff ever.

Really difficult to pick just one, but my all-time favorite would be "McClintock".
Just chock-full of stars: Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, O'Hara, Wills, DeCarlo, Powers, etc., etc., etc. John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara made several movies, all of them good. My all time favorite of theirs is "The Quiet Man", but not a western. Jon.

First saw Outlaw Josey Wales at theater early July of '76, prob a week after it came out. When first watched OJW, I didnt catch all the skilled writing/nuances/symbolism of the movie. Was easy to identify with Eastwood's character, as I was in a state of despair & bewilderment as had just lost two individuals that were very close to me. One my only Grandpa, suffered a massive heart attack. I was at the farm. gave CPR & mouth to mouth immediately, but he died in my arms. The other a few days later, a really good friend of ten years, only a few months older than me, absolutely stunningly beautiful 16 year old young lady. A horrific car crash took her along with her best friend. That time sucked, but in the end made me much mentally stronger. My wife & I share Tombstone as out favorite from later years. We can both quote nearly all the memorable lines, Val Kilmer at his best!

My dad always liked the War Wagon and watched it every time it was on. One day I sat down to watch it and it is a great movie. Lets not forget about Shane. The more recent westerns I like are Hostiles, Woman Walks Ahead and I consider Dances with Wolves a western but some dont. I do agree Open Range is a very good movie as well.

"The Good,The Bad, And the Ugly" was one of the greatest films ever made western or other.

My favorite would be Who Shot Liberty Valance. Any movie with Lee Marvin in it goes to the top of my list. No one played a better bad guy than Lee, IMHO.

I have read every post and cannot disagree with any of the choices. That goes to my original point: How can you pick just one or ten or twenty or more?
Great memories reading the posts! So, the real question should have been: What is the best Film Genre OF ALL TIME? And the Winner is: THE AMERICAN WESTERN!!!!! |

Another vote for Tombstone with Russel, Kilmer and Elliott
then ALL of Eastwood's westerns and the Deadwood series from about 10 years ago the Quick and the Dead with Sharon Stone and Gene Hackman was great too Best music - good bad ugly |

They said it was realistic influence of the day and time. But it was quacky overall and detracted from the flow. I only saw it on DVD , and luckily watched the Bonus stuff first. It told about the realism of the Shakespeare type grammar that was influential, and how hokey most of the lesser educated and unpolished individuals seemed who tried to grab onto it. They did it for authentic realism .... It was overboard and should have been left out completely. Really liked the characters and events. It kept me glued all the way. Just saw the "made 10 years later" movie release a couple weeks ago on DVD. It was intended to bring more closure to the way the series ended abruptly. The Hateful Eight wasn't bad for a modern day made type of semi-western. |
