I was trying to expand my horizons.

I had recently bought The Good The Bad And The Ugly and went absolutely crazy for it. I Watched it over and over, and over the past couple days I went on a search for more.

bought A Few Dollars More
Lee Van Cleef Double Feature: Beyond the Law & Death Rides A Horse
The Wild Bunch is on its way.

any suggestions? Im looking for GOOD westerns. i dont know if any can really compare with the GBU, but im trying to find out. any suggestions?

A FISTFUL OF DOLARS
FINISHES THE TRILIGY AND I THINK CLINT MAY HAVE DIRECTED A FORTH FILM
THE FIRST ONE FISTFUL IS BASED ON "YOJIMBO" japanese and are you ready...."LAST MAN STANDING" IS A REMAKE OF "YOJIMBO" WITH BRUCE WILLIS TAKES PLACE IN THE 1930'S

NOW THEN YOU HAVE THE "MAGNICENT 7"WITCH IS BASED ON "SAMARAI 7" SAME DIRECTOR AS YOJIMBO AKIRA KUROSAWA

THEN THERE IS "ONCE APON A TIME IN THE WEST"

Hombre with Paul Newman. I can't recommend this highly enough. Do yourself a favor and rent it.

Also From Dusk Til Dawn III (a horror western, but you may have already seen it...).

I know there's more, I just can't think right now... You ought to go to Netflix and click "Westerns". Then you can see the most popular ones.

Here's another good one: The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada

Cactus supplied an excellent list. I would highly emphasize Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid...in fact, it happens to be my fourth favorite film of all time. It oozes with style, and it has a dream cast.

All good stuff. I'd certainly add:

Red River - a Howard Hawkes masterpiece. John Wayne is nearly as cruel here as he was in The Searchers, but he's got Montgomery Clift to play off of and the results are lean, macho and transcendent.

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence - incredibly subversive storyline, great drama

Django - another Italian gem. Toughs guys...everywhere.

Hang 'Em High - The film starts with Clint Eastwood swinging from a tree and it's all revenge from there on out.

Big Jake - John Wayne again. Sentimental favorite of mine, makes me think fondly of my old man.

High Noon - Brilliant film making in any genre. Gary Cooper turns in a stellar performance in this film that ratchets up the tension like none other.
