Best Westerns

[The Mothman]

anybody heard anything about the Sabata trilogy?

[phantomstranger]

I'm starting off my John Wane 100th birthday celebration tonight with:

"McClintock!"
one of his best
"Big Jake"
another classic adventure

[neverending]

All these pages and only ONE... I repeat ONE mention of Shane??

That's criminal.

And if you're not a John Wayne hater, The Sons of Katie Elder is a fun film with Dean Martin & Earl Holliman.

For a strange and unusual story try The Traveling Executioner with Stacey Keach.

There's been scant mention of one of the great western stars of all time: Henry Fonda. Perhaps because he was so versitile people overlook his westerns. Just a few of the great ones:

The Cheyenne Social Club
My Darling Clementine
Jesse James
The Return of Frank James

Theres a hotel down the road that reckons its the best western hahaha.
No serious. is there a bad western? ignoring the musical ones. I think not.

"The Violent Men" (1955)
-Glenn Ford, Barbara Stanwyck, Edward G Robinson, Brian Kieth

A Union ex-officer plans to sell up to Anchor Ranch and move east with his fiancee, but the low price offered by Anchor's crippled owner and the outfit's bully-boy tactics make him think again. When one of his hands is murdered he decides to stay and fight, utilising his war experience. Not all is well at Anchor with the owner's wife carrying on with his brother who anyway has a Mexican moll in town.

Good Action, Great Cast, and a well told story. Very entertaining.

Yesterday (May 31) was the great Clint Eastwood's Birthday, so to celebrate I spent the day watching some of his best films:

"Hang 'Em High"
"Two Mules For Sister Sara"
and the greatest Spaghetti films of them all:

"A Fistful Of Dollars"
"For A Few Dollars More"
"The Good The Bad and The Ugly"

I'd leave these 3 off my list. King is a crappy sex farce with Brigitte Bardot and the ever bizarre Michael J. Pollard. Claudia Cardinale is hot, but totally wasted here. Equally wasted is Warren Oates in the pretentious(and completely boring) China. Caulder is the ultimate tragedy, misusing Ernest Borgnine, Christopher Lee, Jack Elam and Strother Martin(what are the odds of getting 4 like that in 1 film) for the purpose of propping up Raquel Welch's limited talent. If you gotta watch a Welch western, make it 100 Rifles. At least you can chuckle at Burt Reynold's hairpiece flopping around.

I thought that this was a Horror forum since when does Best Western have anything to do with horror?
