Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

After watching Hatfields and McCoys, which by the way was a great mini-series. I'm curious what everyone's favorite western might be.
Mine would be:

Tombstone (1993)
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg

Absolute Favorite:

3:10 to Yuma (2007)

Can you tell I like Russell Crowe and Kevin Costner?

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

I think everyone will probably know mine already.

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

By far it's True Grit (2010)

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

Yes.

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

Tombstone would be my favorite.

And I am probably the only one that really liked Appaloosa, I just really liked that big ass shotgun he carried.

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

In order of preference:

McCabe & Mrs. Miller
Dead Man
Red River
Unforgiven
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

On a side note, Westerns arent my cup of tea.

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

I haven't seen a ton of them, but my favorite 3 would be Unforgiven (cliche answer, I know), Once Upon a Time in the West, and Open Range. The final shootout in Open Range is just awesome.

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

I honestly have no seen too many Westerns... I saw True Grit (2010) and really liked that so I guess that would have to be my favorite.

For some reason when I think of "my favorite western", this movie -a fav in my childhood- comes to mind... (Although it's technically NOT a western, haha)

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

From what I have seen, which really isn't much I'd say these three:

-Unforgiven
-High Noon
-The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

Unforgiven

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

So the Western genre was invented some time in the 1980s????

Here are a few stone-cold classics that you really ought to check out:

Stagecoach (1939)
Destry Rides Again (1939)
My Darling Clementine (1946)
Fort Apache (1948)
Winchester '73 (1950)
Bend of the River (1952)
High Noon (1952)
The Naked Spur (1953)
The Far Country (1955)
The Searchers (1956)
3:10 to Yuma (1957 - not the god-awful 2007 remake)
One-Eyed Jacks (1961)
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962)
Ride the High Country (1962)
Hud (1963)
The Wild Bunch (1969)
Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (1973)
The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976)

There's easily another fifty or so westerns from the 30s-60s that are well worth a watch (and hundreds that aren't).

Ever loving mother of all Westerns!

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

Recently rewatched Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. I cant recommend it highly enough- its a very profound and honest movie for the ages.

I thought both these movies were terrible. Yuma was good up until the arbitrary (and stupid) happy ending, but Clementine? That one was irritating from the start, especially in regards to Doc Holliday (and I say that as someone who loves Victor Mature). I mean, I'm no stickler for historical accuracy but that was just ridiculous.

Also, do keep in mind that the question was regarding favorite Westerns, not best.

TBH I wouldn't die in a ditch over the 57 Yuma - it's a very watchable, unpretentious movie with some nice, tense moments (the ending doesn't bother me at all, btw) but probably not in the same league as most of the others. Glenn Ford has never been better, but that's not really saying a huge amount, is it? The thing that annoyed me about the remake was that linking it to the earlier film was completely pointless and counter-productive. Those who loved the first film (like me) were bound to be annoyed by all the big explosions and over-the-top gun fights, while those who just wanted to see a modern, high-octane western wouldn't give a flying stuff that it was loosely based on some old black and white B-movie staring no-one in particular. I'd have probably enjoyed it more if they'd called it something else.

As for Clementine... COME ON! It's a great, great movie. I'll grant you Mature wins the "World's Least Convincing Consumptive" award hands-down, but that aside there's some tremendous interplay between him and Fonda - and Fonda himself has rarely been better (and that really is saying something); his startlingly original portrayal of Wyatt Earp is a joy to watch as he effortlessly combines toughness, gentleness and quiet humour. The film itself is also one of John Ford's most thoughtful (and optimistic) explorations of the cost and benefit of establishing civilisation. Finally, it is beautifully framed and photographed. An all-round class act.

Either The Outlaw Josey Wales or The Wild Bunch. I throughly enjoyed Lonesome Dove as well. It was a t.v. Mini- series, but it counts since one inspired this thread.:)

Wild Wild West.







http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/s...aughing025.gif

If we're going by that logic, then neither film should be called 3:10 to Yuma. IMO, the 1957 film took far more liberties with its source material than the remake did.

It isn't a great movie. And the fact that Mature plays a very unconvincing consumptive is the least of my problems with the Holliday character. Doc Holliday was a dentist who died of tuberculosis, not a surgeon who was killed in a gunfight. Of the three films I've seen based on Earp, Holliday and the famous gunfight, IMO Tombstone struck the best balance of entertainment and accuracy. I'd take Russell and Kilmer over Fonda and Mature any day and I typically can't stand Val Kilmer.

I love My Darling Clementine too... in fact it's probably my favourite Western of all, although I'd also consider The Searchers, Man of the West and Heaven's Gate.

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

Love the following:

Unforgiven
Dances With Wolves
The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford
The Searchers

Hey Rodent, nice one with WWW. :rotfl:Wow, I went to see that with a friend and his family, not expecting much and getting even less. I can't even watch it for kicks and giggles on television. The tv series, while a bit campy, was loads of fun, and the movie version came in the days of "Let's put Will Smith in everything." I like Will but it was a sad mistake to cast him as Jim West. My friend and his brood loved the film, which is his right as a consumer, but I don't talk about the movie with him because I'd have to bite my tongue to keep from spewing hate about it. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but I put this one right down there with Battlefield Earth.

Ahem, back on topic, my favorite Western is The Outlaw Josey Wales. From its grim start, through its action set-pieces (with bits of humor sprinkled throughout), to its unexpected "community" ending, all with great dialogue, this one played against all my expectations of a Western and soon set the standard for what I look for in a Western.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQt5WPQTwN0

One of my favorite scenes above.

My top 5 faves:




5. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)
The first example of the lightning captured in a bottle that is the Newman & Redford combo. I like Newman's character more though in this movie than in the Sting. We get to see more of him as Butch Cassidy & the relationship with his fellow bank robber, Harry Longabaugh. A really unique western that is both lotsa of fun & tragic at the same time.

4. Magnificent 7 (1960)
Y'know, there may be cowboy movies that are better filmed, with stories that are better written, that capture the western history more accurately, that have an impact that is more poignant or even have characters that are more iconic.
But very few other cowboy flicks (those being a couple of them that were made with a dash of spaghetti sauce on 'em) were more bad-ass than this one.

3. High Noon (1977)
Real time in the Old West.
A simple tale of suspense building tension, as a newly wed marshall must make a decision between a new life by flying the Coop, or staying and standing as a "lone star" until the strike of twelve, in a town that has turned its back against him.

2. Unforgiven (1992)
I guess this film could've also been called The Final Chapter Of The Man With No Name, But Now We've Given Him A Name, Punk.
And yeah, I know, I know ..... it's not fashionable for those who study Western films to like this movie. Luckily, for me, I'm one of those who never studied.

1. The Good, The Bad & The Ugly (1966)
At the outset of the first western movies, the cowboy characters had been categorized between two basic types: Those who wore the white hats, & those who wore the black ones.
As time passed though, the hat colors began to blur between who was bad, who was bad, & then to eventually who was just plain ugly.
Though the final film in the "Man With No Name" trilogy, IMO, the best & most definitive one of the three.
It's almost impossible to think of the genre of the spaghetti western, let alone this particular series & not think of the iconic trio of Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef & Eli Wallach.

Nice touch there, Celestial. :) Great list, too!

Ford clearly has about 0% interest in providing an accurate account of the Earps and the gunfight at the OK Corral. He treats it more as a myth which can be adapted to suit his particular themes and concerns. To say it's a bad film because it's not historically accurate completely misses the point of what Ford was trying to do. It's a film, not a drama-documentary.

1. Unforgiven

2. Tombstone

3. Open Range

4. Good Bad and the Ugly

I didn't say that the historical inaccuracy made it a bad film. I said the inaccuracy was my biggest problem with the character of Doc Holliday; so don't jump to conclusions or put words in my mouth.

Though I do love how you criticize the Yuma remake for taking too many liberties with its source material yet completely dismiss - and even defend - the same issue when it comes to Clementine.

I disliked My Darling Clementine because it was slow moving, poorly cast, poorly acted, and - yes - blatantly historically inaccurate. The one thing I require of any movie I watch is the ability for me to emotionally connect with the characters on the screen. Clementine failed at that.

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

Rio Bravo
http://i777.photobucket.com/albums/y...bum/282429.jpg

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

Used to love the bud Spencer and Terrance hill films, trinity is my name etc, funny

What words did I put in your mouth? Historical inaccuracy was the only substantive point you'd made until then. Stop being so bad-tempered. :p

However, you've made some more points now, so let's take a look:

Slow moving. Well, it certainly isn't an all-action western. Nor is it trying to be. But the story moves forward at a fairly brisk pace and the whole thing is only 97 minutes long, so I wouldn't agree there. On the other hand, any film is slow-moving if you don't like it.

Poorly cast. Both the male leads are deliberately cast against type and I think it words a treat. Mature is the wrong physical type for his role (as I've already said), but he turns in a rather fine performance. Fonda is superb as Earp. The two of them work extremely well together. There's nothing much to object to in the casting of the other roles.

Poorly acted. From my comment above you've probably already guessed that I don't agree. Fonda and Mature are excellent, as is Walter Brennan. Linda Darnell is likeable enough as the tart-with-a-heart. Cathy Downs is a bit forgettable as Clem, but not nearly bad enough to derail the movie. If you're honestly saying the acting in Tombstone is better, then... well, words fail me.

Characters you can relate to. Again, I had absolutely no problem relating to the characters in this film. Fonda, in particular, is immensely likeable. Clearly you don't feel the same, but I can't help thinking that's more a statement about you than the film.

Me too :)

I already answered this question.

Just because inaccuracy was the only point I'd made when you responded does not mean you can twist it to suit your own needs. But, really, all one has to do to see that historical accuracy is not a high priority for me is to look at my favorite movies list. I can and often do overlook some pretty severe inaccuracies when everything else falls into place. It's only when I'm bored with a movie that such things irritate me.

I found it slow paced. I was bored. The length of a film has nothing to do with pacing. I've sat through short movies that felt like they took forever and long movies that felt like only a few minutes.

Mature turns in the same performance he did in pretty much every movie I've seen of his. I love Mature because he was so bad and because he had no delusions about his level - or lack - of talent. The only role I ever found him convincing in was After the Fox, where he played a washed up actor. Not exactly a stretch at that point.

You know, I'm beginning to think you just have a problem with modern Westerns. Are there any modern Westerns you do like? Or are you one of those "classics" snobs?

Yeah, well, you know what they say about opinions. :rolleyes:

I loved Tombstone. I thought that Val Kilmer was the epitomy of Doc Holiday.

Of course, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and Once Upon A Time In The West are timeless gems and so is The Wild Bunch.
More current ones that I enjoyed were 3:10 To Yuma, The Missing ( 2003 ) and Seraphim Falls.

Now who's making unwarranted assumptions? There have been a number of fine westerns made over the last twenty-odd years: Unforgiven, Lone Star and Open Range to name just three. There have also been plenty of perfectly watchable, entertaining, journeyman westerns, for example: Young Guns, The Quick and the Dead, and (yes) Tombstone.

The reason I weighed in on behalf of classic westerns was that they seemed under-represented by the thread. Up to a point that's natural enough - we're all more interested in films of our own era - but the western is a genre with a rich history and modern examples tend to draw on or reference that history even when (or especially when) they're re-writing the rules. So, for example, you can happily watch The Wild Bunch without much knowledge of earlier westerns, but the film itself assumes you know about them; in particular, it assumes you have a decent knowledge of John Ford westerns which are constantly being referenced (btw, Peckinpah's favourite western was My Darling Clementine - but what did he know about the genre?). Without that knowledge you are missing a whole level of meaning.

And, in any case, some of those old westerns are damn fine films.

http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4147/5...554c5b9e_z.jpg

'A Fistful Of Dollars' & just millimetres behind it 'Once Upon A Time In The West'.

'Tombstone' is also a fine western. True story, biopic or not. Just a great western.

I asked a question. You listed a lot of old westerns and, until your most recent post, your only mention of more modern westerns was to point out what you don't like.


They weren't under-represented. The question the OP presented was in regards to favorite westerns - this is a different concept than what is best or even good - and people responded appropriately. Why should they mention classic westerns if their favorite westerns are more modern?

As for me, there are a few older westerns I enjoy, like Fury at Furnace Creek and The Appaloosa, but I don't enjoy them anywhere near as much as those I've already listed.

Fair enough. I very much enjoy all the westerns I listed in my original post.

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

I don't really care much for westerns. Oddly enough, having said that, I have 3 in my favorite movie list, including my two favorite movies of all time.

Unforgiven
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Open range

I can now add the 2010 True Grit to that list. Beautifully shot, and great performances from Bridges and Hailee Steinfeld. I'm fond of the 1969 John Wayne version but the Coens have delivered a much more satisfying, coherent film imo. Excellent.

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

I never saw Unforgiven till just a couple years ago. I didn't think I'd like it but it was out of this world! Open Range is also a top favorite of mine.

My favorites are:

Wild Bunch
Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid
The Ballad of Cable Hogue
The Life And Times of Judge Roy Bean
High Noon
Ulzana's Raid
Red River
The Searchers
EL Topo
Dead Man
The Shooting
Ride in the Whirlwind
One-Eyed Jacks
Walker
The Proposition

Django Kill... If You Live, Shoot!
The Great Silence
A Bullet for the General
The Big Gundown
Keoma
Sabata
Day of Anger
The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
For a few dollars more

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

How The West Was Won.

The Wild Bunch

Once Upon A Time in The West

Dances with Wolves

The photography, the music, the poignant story, nothing comes close for me. Other favorite include High Noon, High Plains Drifter, Once Upon a Time in the West and The Wild Bunch. Oh, and one western I'm rather fond of but doesn't get nearly enough love is Cecile B. Demille's The Plainsman with Gary Cooper and Jean Arthur. It's such a fun movie, even if it does crap on history.

My top 5, and 5 of my all time favourites of any genres, actually. The reason I love these 5 so much is that they are all very different and unique, each dealing with different themes.

Rio Bravo (Howard Hawks, 1959)

The ultimate team/buddy film for me, where a group of very different people come together to protect a town in a pretty straightforward story. One of John Wayne's best performance for me (the other is below), but all the cast is great, especially a young Nelson.

Once Upon a Time in the West (Sergio Leone, 1968)

Some may complain this is a self obsessed, over indulgent piece of work from Leone, but for me that is what makes it great. He is in full control and is like a child bringing all his favourite fantasy elements of the surreal Western world together to create something like out of a dream. This film has a magical feel, and has some of the greatest characters in Western history, each with their own brilliant story and part to play. Henry Fonda is of course brilliant in his role as the villain, Frank.

Unforgiven (Clint Eastwood, 1992)

I love this film because it blurs the boundaries of good versus evil and completely throws the traditional fantasy/surreal Western plot devices out of the window. Clint Eastwood's character is a man who is grown old, attempting to live a normal life, he gives the best performance of his career in my opinion as he reflects on the harsh realities of being a bounty hunter, killing men. Gene Hackman is also brilliant, although he can be described as a villain he is actually far from it, he is trying to build a house, settle down and keep peace in his town.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Sergio Leone, 1966)

There's not that much difference in quality for me between this and OUATITW, this film is just great fun too watch, The Man with no name oozes coolness and his relationship with Tuco is great, then there's a great villain in Lee Van Cleef, by far the best film in the Dollars trilogy.

The Searchers (John Ford, 1956)

The ultimate tale of obsession as John Wayne devotes his entire life to finding his young kidnapped niece from Indians. Wayne's character is extremely racist, and this is one of the most mature Westerns I have seen in the fact it feels real and honest in the way it deals with humans. Ford's direction is excellent and the film is also visually superb.

Loads of others I like as well, all of Leone's stuff including the underrated Duck, You Sucker!, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, High Noon, The Man Who Shoot Liberty Valance both True Grit films and both 3:10 to Yuma films, I actually think both remakes are superior. Rango and Django Unchained are too modern efforts that I loved.

Really, really want to see McCabe and Mrs Miller and Dances With Wolves.

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

The Searchers
Good the Bad and the Ugly
Once Upon a Time In the West
High Noon
They Call Me Trinity
High Plains Drifter
Stagecoach
The Bravados
McKennas Gold
I Will Fight No More Forever

Theres many more, these are just off the top of my head.

Silverado is the first western I think of when I think of my favorite western. What a great cast!

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

This is my top 5 but keep in mind, I really haven't seen a whole lot of the genre yet.

1. Unforgiven
2. High Noon
3. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
4. Destry Rides Again
5. Stagecoach

The top 3 are really on a class of their own. 4&5 are current favorites right now. Still plenty that I want to see yet.

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

It's the only genre I can't stand. That being said, I loved Django, but it's hardly a western, right?

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

I adore Clint Eastwood in every western he ever played. But Unforgiven is just superb

So you don't even like Doc Brown out west?

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

I've seen some westerns and even today the The Good, the bad and the ugly remains the best western ever made, in my opinion.
The movie is quite ambitious for its time, giving 3 hours of pure entertainment and fun. And one of the big attractions for me is that the film is quite sarcastic and caricatural, very common in westerns of Sergio Leone.

Overall the film follows the great virtuosity and originality of Sergio Leone, as well as the iconic soundtrack of Ennio Morricone, and also of the great performances of three charismatic characters.

1. Once Upon a Time In the West

2. Unforgiven

3. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

4. High Noon

5. A Fistful Of Dollars

In no particular order ;

High Planes Drifter

The outlaw Josey Wales

Unforgiven

The Quick and the Dead

3.10 to Yuma (2007)

and a couple that don't take themselves seriously but made me laugh

Support your local Sheriff

Maverick

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

Sergio Leone is a master of westerns, with my favourites as A Fistful of Dollars and Once Upon a Time in the West.

It fits his directorial character with the slow yet breakneck pace of his films.

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

The searchers is getting a lot of love here, I really hated that movie.
I've actually hated everything john ford has ever done and I can't bring myself to watch stagecoach because of that. I have it but just haven't watched it.. maybe one day.

I'm not a big western fan, so my list will probably be odd


high noon
good bad the ugly
3:10 to yuma
back to the future 3
warriors way

Which one?

2007.. I haven't seen the original of that, nor the original of true grit.
But not much of a western fan so that's why :)

IMO you're not missing anything by not watching the old 3:10. It was a decent movie for the most part, but the ending really irked me.

Obviously, I love the 2007 version.

I can only repeat what Miss Vicky says, the original is straightforward, simple and cheery with no real feeling of joy/completion at the end unlike the remake where it wraps all the character development up nicely, I much prefer the remake too.

I'm with Vicky and Daniel, normally I always prefer originals to remakes, but in this instance, the remake of 3:10 to Yuma had more introspect into the characters and i simply enjoyed it, all around, than the original.



As a kid, Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid was an all time favorite. Rembering bawling as a child at the very end and for years after the sound of the guns firing still gave me serious chills

http://img.timeinc.net/time/daily/20...ewman_1013.jpg



But I definitely have to go with Open Range,
This one really touched every single nuance of a truly good western from the very get go to the final shoot out. DAMN fine movie
http://content6.flixster.com/movie/1...932004_det.jpg

Have never really been into westerns as a rule, but I do enjoy SILVERADO, TOMBSTONE, and the 1963 John Wayne film McLINTOCK!

Haven't seen many westerns since i have only started watching them over the past year. So far i've been only watching the most famous and popular ones and i haven't disliked any of them, the one i'd say i enjoyed the least is The Searchers but i think i need to rewatch that since i was quite tired at the time.

Westerns i can remember seeing:

Unforgiven
Dollars Trilogy
The Searchers
Once Upon A Time In The West
True Grit (2008)
Stagecoach
High Noon
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

No Country for Old Men

I don't consider that a western but if it is it's the only one i didn't enjoy.

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

Sure, it's a modern-day western, like Hud before it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyuwBW9lNa8

My top five

1. Once Upon a Time in the West
2. The good the bad, and the ugly
3. The Outlaw Josey Wales
4. True Grit (Original)
5. Unforgiven

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

Haven't seen that many but No country for old men and unforgiven are two that immediately spring to mind. They are extremely good films in my eyes.

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

Huge western fanatic, my favorite genre by far.

1) The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
2) Heaven's Gate (Director's cut)
3) Once Upon a Time in the West
4) The Searchers
5) The Great Silence

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

Tourneur's Way of a Gaucho and Canyon Passage are pretty underrated. Peckinpah's sobering Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid and Altman's revisionist Western McCabe & Mrs Miller also come to mind. Don't forget Nick Ray's Johnny Guitar. My recent favourites include Boetticher's Seven Men from Now and Mann's Man of the West. Of course all these directors have made a ton of great Westerns, not forgetting the legendary John Ford. The whole genre is so damn underrated.

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

"Wyatt Earp" 1994
"The Magnificent Seven" 1960
"Westworld" 1973

Yul Brynner wore the same costume in both "The Magnificent Seven" and "Westworld" right down to the belt buckle.

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

The Searchers

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

While not a huge fan of the genre, The western that I've rated highest so far is Rango. I do have exceptional love for the remake of 3:10 to Yuma and The magnificent seven, though.

I have seen very few, but whatever, my top5:

1) The man who shot Liberty Valance (John Ford, 1962)
2) For a few dollars more (Sergio Leone, 1965)
3) The Ox-Bow incident (William A. Wellman, 1943)
4) Once upon a time in the West (Sergio Leone, 1968)
5) The wild bunch (Sam Peckinpah, 1969)

I still have to watch a lot and specially from the classic western of the 40s and 50s. It's not a genre I'm too much into but my experiences have been mostly positive.

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

Gregory Peck's Yellow Sky is a gem of a movie.

3:10 to Yuma
The Good, the Bad , the Ugly

And Lone Star

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

Watched Lone Star yesterday.Pretty good.

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

https://d2nh4f9cbhlobh.cloudfront.ne...creenshot.jpeg

Utter classic.

Westerns have always been my least favorite film genre, but I do like TOMBSTONE and I like a couple of classics from the 60's, CAT BALLOU and McLINTOCK!

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

I shall whisper this as its a bit controversial...I really like Unforgiven but I kinda prefer Open Range. Similar movies in many ways of course, would make a great double bill.

I am a huge fan of the western anyway, shame not many get made now, nevermind many good ones. True Grit was last one I saw that was good.

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

I really like Unforgiven. Best western that I've seen.

http://www.dvdsreleasedates.com/cove...d-cover-70.jpg

No country for old men is absolutely incredible as well.

Re: Does anyone have a favorite Western?
 

Old Country...forgot about that.

Also as cheesy as Tombstone is, really enjoy that film. Val Kilmer has never been better.
