re: Best Western movie...

Unforgiven
Lonesome Dove
Open Range
Conagher & Crossfire Trail
These were made for TV movies based on Louis L'amour books, but are good flicks.
3:10 To Yuma was okay, but very disappointing...The original was so much better!
Wyatt Earp was even better than Tombstone and it was kinda lame...
oh yeah, then there's Brokeback Mountain
Lonesome Dove
Open Range

Gotta love me some Doc Holliday - especially the scene he gets into a Latin-speaking gun twirling standoff with Ringo in the saloon and Doc pulls out a cup and begins to show off. Classic stuff.
I'd also include Young Guns and The Quick and the Dead - the Gene Hackman, Sharon Stone version in this conversation. it had a lot of talented actors such as a young DiCaprio and a pre-Gladiator Russell Crowe

probably Tombstone and Unforgiven are my two favorite.

Absolutely loved Open Range.

I loved Tombstone for what it was, a summer popcorn flick. Just a very entertaining western IMO. Did a lot of things well but a lot if things wrong. Virgil Earp was terrible.
The Proposition, 3:10 to Yuma and Open Range were all ok to me. Open Range was a little slow. I think Wyatt Earp would have been much better if Costner wasn't such a puss for the 1st half of the movie.
I know Unforgiven gets a ton of love. And I like Eastwood/Freeman and Hackman. But I don't get why it gets so much love. And it got it from the oscars too. I liked it. But it didn't blow me away.
Give me The Assasination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford and Lonsome Dove over all of em mentioned.

Tombstone kind of sucks
Yeah you'll get crucified for saying that on this board. I like Tombstone just fine it's a good movie it's just not as good as other OK Corral movies like Gunfight At The OK Corral or arguably the greatest western ever My Darling Clementine.

No love for City Slickers 1 and 2 ?????
Posted on 4/15/10 at 6:57 pm to USMC DAWG
I actually liked Appaloosa as far as mix of action, scenery, culture, etc.

This.
Tombstone is ok, nothing special.
The villains are the best part of it. Powers Boothe AND Michael Biehn?!?!? Awesome overload.

That was one thing holding back Wyatt Earp imo. You never really hated the bad guys. But Madsen as Virgil was waaayy better.

Wouldn't call it a great western but after watching it last night I'd say it's worthy of mention:

did anyone else see this western when there was a screening in NOLA and Eric Braeden did a Q&A after?
The Man Who Came Back
also has Billy Zane and Armand Assante.

Man I hated that movie. It was one of those films that just made me mad after watching.

It was bland, didn't go anywhere cool, and most of the characters were excruciating to watch. Didn't help that the trailer was marketing this seemingly as a western-ghost story, which is only a notch below western-zombie movie in factors of coolness.

i thought the story was pretty well put together (albeit rather predictable), and it was pretty suspenseful despite that fact.
