Must See Westerns

[Julius_Seizeher]

Gents, as a huge fan of all things western, I am compelled to chronicle for you a list of must-see westerns. The courageous and stoic heroes of western movies give us, however idealized, role models of a forgotten era. I'm particular to Eastwood, he is the man and that's all there is to it. So here goes...

For a Few Dollars More
Fistful of Dollars
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Hang 'em High
The Outlaw Josie Wales
Joe Kidd
Once Upon a Time in the West
High Plains Drifter
Two Mules for Sister Sara
The Unforgiven
Rio Bravo
True Grit
Pale Rider

These are awesome movies. To the other western fans, who am I missing?

Nice list. "My Name is Nobody" should be on there, though.

There's one I haven't seen. Maybe I can download "My Name is Nobody", I've never seen the dvd anywhere.

I'll add that "Once Upon a Time in the West" is my favorite. Amazing cinematography, amazing soundtrack, awesome storyline, and THE most beautiful woman God ever saw fit to breathe life into, Claudia Cardinale.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Tombstone
Young Guns
Appaloosa
3:10 to Yuma

despite starring kevin costner, "Open Range" is a good flick. It's got a great line, the hero talking to his girl:


"A lot of men are going to die today. And I'm going to kill them."

And for your fans of spaghetti westerns, you might want to check out the "originals" from Kurosawa/Mifune.

Fistfull of dollars, a few dollars more, and magnificent seven were all direct remakes of earlier samurai flicks.

The following has got to be one of the greatest "showdowns" in movie history:
