[Film] Westerns

[Bakero]

If you're ever in my neck of the woods, you can visit the film sets where the Dollars trilogy, amongst other spaghetti westerns, were filmed. Some of the sets have been jazzed up a bit with Can Can shows and shoot-outs. Others are just preserved as sleepy wild west towns.

 

[JJ McClure]

Big fan of Yellowstone, Beth and Rip are two of my all time favourite TV characters.
As for western movies I remember absolutely loving Young Guns when it came out.

 

[heathgate]

Outlaw Josey Wales.

....but for sheer musical atmosphere..... Once Upon a Time in the West.

I will add a nod to the quirky Fistful of Dynamite.

 

[Boys 9d]

Two Gregory Peck Films:

Duel In The Sun (unofficially termed "Lust In The Dust")

The Big Country

 

[The Clamp]

Forgot The Magnificent Seven.

Even the remake is actually pretty good. Great cast.

 

[Insel affe]

Love a western, takes me back to my childhood and in turn my love of Johnny Cash and more so Marty Robbins telling stories through music about the old west.

3:10 Yuma
True Grit the remake
Django Unchained
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Seraphim Falls
The Revenant'
The Hostiles
The Harder They Fall
Old Henry

Most of my favourites are already mentioned (True Grit the remake, The Man who shot Liberty Valance, Hostiles, Josey). Pale Rider is also a good 'un plus the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

Not too much a fan of the Westerns where the Injuns are being wiped out from their native land.

 

[MattBackHome]

High Plains Drifter
Unforgiven
For A Fistful Of Dollars

My dad loves the movie Shane, I know of it but can’t remember seeing it all.

Shane is great. Classic good guy/bad guy western. Jack Pallance is a right old piece of work in it.

 

[Perry Milkins]

Magnificent 7 (original)
Big Country
Shenendoah.

 

[highflyer]

Was always fairly 'meh' on westerns.

And then along came 'The English' and showed America how it should be done.

Stunning series.

 

[Man of Harveys]

High Noon is simply one of the greatest films ever made, let alone westerns. Brilliant plot, brilliant acting. Love that film.

 

[Triggaaar]

Big fan of Yellowstone, Beth and Rip are two of my all time favourite TV characters.

2018 on, or earlier miniseries?

 

[herecomesaregular]

My fave. Great cast.

 

[HeaviestTed]

What’s your favourite western film?

Tombstone for me.

Yong guns 2! Regulatooooooooorrrrsssss

 

[jackanada]

Winchester 73, Bend in the River are good Jimmy Stewart ones.
Seven brides for seven brothers I find marvelous though epically sexist.

 

[Meade's Ball]

I'm down with MOH and High Noon. What a cracker.
I'd recommend the films of Budd Boetticher. Brief, just and vivid portrayals of the unpeopled spaces of the lawless west.

If you're ever in my neck of the woods, you can visit the original locations were real stuff actually happened

Back to the Future 3.

Obviously.
