I have just watched it again.. It has it all. Gun slinging, horse riding, romance, sadness, death, happiness. It has to have one of the best lines where Kurt Russel as Wyatt Earp says "YOU TELL EM I'M COMING.... AND HELL'S COMING WITH ME!! HELL'S COMING WITH ME"
Brilliant. What is your fave cowboy film and why?

High Noon (1952) starring Gary Cooper as Will Kane, the marshal of Hadleyville. The film is full of suspense from the outset, and a great story well told. The marshall has just married Amy (Grace Kelly), who is a Quaker and a pacifist. He is due to retire at the end of the day. However Frank Miller (Ian MacDonald), who Kane had arrested, but was spared the gallows, is known to be arriving on the noon train, looking for revenge. Miller's gang wait for him at the station.
Kane rejects all advice to leave immediately - his wife threatens to leave on the noon train without him, and even his deputy, Harvey Pell (Lloyd Bridges), refuses to help. The whole town turns its back on him, other than his former mistress, Helen Ramírez (Katy Jurado), but she can do little to help.
In the end, Kane faces the four gunmen by himself. He shoots down two of Miller's men. Amy chooses her husband over her religious beliefs and kills the third with a shotgun blast, before he can shoot her husband in the back, but is taken hostage by Miller. Miller then offers to trade her for Kane. Kane agrees, coming out into the open with his gun lowered. Amy, however, struggles with Miller, eventually freeing herself. Kane and Miller then draw their guns; Kane is the faster of the two, killing Miller. He then contemptuously throws his marshal's star in the dirt and leaves town with his wife.
What a great story!

1. Lordsburg. John Wayne starred in that and it very nicely depicts the West along the border in 1886. 2. Giant. Rock Hudson, Elizibeth Taylor and does a nice job of looking at the oil development in Texas in a dramatic way. 3. "Clementine" with Henery Fonda and several other big ones. Discusses the O.K. Corral in its own fashion, but the shots of the country and the people were excellent if you want to know what the cowboys life was like in the time of Wyatt Earp. 4. "Jeremiah Johnson". It actually happened, and it was pretty close to the real thing. The equipment the pilgrims were using was new and cute.. the equipment the pilgrims actually used was rough and ready. I think Redford demos a Sharps .50 caliber and when he does, he is knock right back on his butt. That was what the Sharps .50 did, and when you read stories about the buffalo hunters that killed whole herds in a couple of days... you realize that was baloney. NO one has a solder that would not be broken in that process. Even a bolt action 30.06 is difficult after ten rounds. 5. "Misty" with Clint Eastwood. 6. "The Judgment" with Paul Newman. 7. Paul Newman also did a movie about a liquor distributor in Florida who was framed that was particularly real and gritty. 8. "The Terminator"

My all time fav Western is "One-Eyed Jacks" with Marlon Brando. It's old but it's in color, shot on location in Mexico. Great story. Good cast including Karl Malden and Ben Johnson! Also see Shane. You have to see these 2 movies to make an honest pick of the best Western film ever.

High Plains Drifter and Pale Rider spring to mind, from Clint Eastwood, but there are a couple of John Wayne movies I quite liked as well: The Cowboys and True Grit.

either Rio Lobo w/JohnWane or McClintok w/ JohnWane or Unforgiven w/Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman and Gene HAckman. But I not sure that I have ever seen a western that I didn't like!

Unforgiven - Clint Eastwoods last western.
Why? Because it's not like your standard western and is a very moving film.

I think that Blazing Saddles is a complete classic. It is the best spoof ever and is still seen as a claasic. Its the only western which has ever made me laugh and its one of the only westerns i like except for Paint Your Wagon.

All Quiet on the Western Front...it possesses a strong degree of elegance while still portraying a emotional depiction of trench warfare...i nearly cried at the end.
