Gunslingers,Gamblers and Cowboys The Western Movie Thread

sergio leone's westerns are definitely among those that i need to see.

[Headhunter]

Once Upon a Time in the West is still on Netflix, I think...maybe.

[zombie]

it doesn't look to be there, though i guess it's possible it could be different by region.

[showa58taro]

If he's including The Revenant then I guess I can include Sukiyaki Westetn Django.

[Tiggnutz]

Frontiersman fur trappers being hunted by Indians in 1823 is a western by every definition I can't see the argument for The Revenant not being one.

[Headhunter]

I'm truly split on The Revenant here. On one hand, the story at its core is a classic western revenge tale. On the other hand, it really doesn't FEEL like one. The setting is too gritty, too real.

Btw all you hoes should check out the HBO show Westworld. Shit is great.

Just waiting for season 2

If you were alive in the old West in say Arizona territory or New Mexico do you think you would ever get a cold beer or cold drink of any kind?

[DancesWithWerewolves]

I stick with the late 1800's American West setting (typically post Civil War) to declare "Western". No Modern Westerns like Near Dark & Mad Max applied, or movies that may seem like it but are out of the time period like Last Of The Mohicans and The Revenant.

[DancesWithWerewolves]

Some days I feel like I like Once Upon A Time In The West more than The Good The Bad & The Ugly. Those two are so close for me.

They're amazing in ways that could not be more different.

[DancesWithWerewolves]

I'm editing the list on flickchart. I've never tweaked a western list on there before, placement of things seemed questionable to me after the first 10 or so.

[DancesWithWerewolves]

Edited with an additional 5.

[Jason]

I prefer the gunfighter songs that tell stories similar to High Noon, as opposed to the actual movie. :p

Movie was good, got my gal Grace in it, but Gary Cooper could've been better, imo.

[Headhunter]

High Noon is solid noir actually.

[Jason]

Does anyone else listen to old school western country gunfighter ballads? Or am I the only one...

[Monster]

Does Pancho and Lefty count?

[Jason]

I guess. Barely. :p

I'm more into the hard ass story telling like Marty Robbins does. "Big Iron" can fit into almost any old west movie. lol.

[zombie]

have you guys seen mccabe and mrs. miller? is it any good?
