Your Pick for Best Western Movie
Hello everyone,
Well, another hunting season is in the books, back to winter and lots of time to watch movies.
So I would like to know your favorite Western of all time and why? I know it's hard because there are so many great ones to pick from and to single one out is tough!
My favorite Western is One-Eyed Jacks staring Marlon Brando, Karl Malden, Ben Johnson, and Slim Pickings.
One-Eyed Jacks is the only movie that Marlon Brando starred in, produced, and directed. It has everything going for it that you would expect in a great western to include the good guy vs. the bad guy with a twist, gunfighting, fighting, romance/love, and great acting.
This decision was not an easy one to make because I am a huge western fan. Sure like John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Errol Flynn, and many others. For me, it was a tossup between One-Eyed Jacks, The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, The Searchers, Lonesome Dove and Jeremiah Johnson.
If you are a western movie fan and have not seen One-Eyed Jacks I highly recommend it with two thumbs way up!
Cheers N40

LMAO Yah great movie hey? Like I said it's really tough to single one out, but as you saw I mentioned Lonesome Dove as one of my top picks.
When I selected One-Eyes Jacks I felt like I was cheating on John Wayne lol

There are a lot of good ones but I still think I like The Outlaw Josey Wales the best myself. I'd say Unforgiven is 2nd, as mentioned previously because of it's filming location partially, for me.

Excellent book, worthy of a Pulitzer.
Blazing Saddles uncut version should be in a category of it's own really.

I never understood why Unforgiven was so popular. Seemed almost cheesy. Cliche. Sorry fellas. I mean no disrespect.
All the others of course the classics, Good, Bad…, Josey Wales, etc.
How the West was Won not mentioned yet.

A great movie that's for sure!

I think it’s one of the least cheesy. They joke about masturbation, show pretty accurate deaths (shooting a guy on the crapper, gut shooting a guy and him dying slowly).
No shooting a guy through the eye with a pistol at 100 yards with both of you galloping on horses.
I love all the movies mentioned so far but still think unforgiven belongs
Anywhoo to each their own

I like just about all westerns, but here is my top 5:
Outlaw Josey Wales
Two Mules for Sister Sarah
Tombstone
Silverado (John Cleese as an old west sheriff!)
Open Range
And of course John Wayne gets honorable mentions.
