[QUOTE="JediSoth, post: 5123970, member: 13882"] My absolute favorite western is [I]Tombstone[/I]. I always like the iconic showdown story of the gunfight at the O.K. Corral, and I think this movie does it best. Plus, Val Kilmer is just amazing as Doc Holiday (plus seeing the dadass Colonel Quaritch from [I]Avatar [/I]as the sniveling coward Ike Clanton is fun, too). After that, it's hard to rate them in any sort of order, so here's just a list: [I]Silverado [/I]- I liked to think of this as a trope-filled homage to the westerns of yesteryear. "Today my jurisdiction ends here." [I]The Outlaw Josey Wales[/I] - One of Clint's best westerns with a show-stealing sidekick. "I reckon so." *spit* [I]Pale Rider[/I] - Some interesting metaphysical allusions, plus Clint kicking-butt with a hickory axe handle! [I]True Grit[/I] - One of the Duke's best! "Fill your hands you son-of-a-[censored]!" [I]Rio Brave/El Dorado[/I] - Basically the same movie with some casting differences, but still both are good, basic westerns about a sheriff trying to protect his town from the corrupt villain. Look for James "Sonny Corleone" Caan in [I]El Dorado[/I] as a sawed-off-shotgun wielding fancy-pants! [I]Big Jake[/I] - Another good one from John Wayne, with a cast full of nepotism! "I thought you was dead!" [I]Unforgiven [/I]- My second-favorite Clint Eastwood western. Basically a deconstruction of all those classic western tropes and myths. "We all got it comin', kid." [I]The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.[/I] - Steampunk meets western starring Ash...errr Bruce Campbell. Seriously, this show was ahead of its time and made of awesome. "Very fancy!" [I]Blazing Saddles[/I] - Iconic Western/Comedy from Mel Brook. Would NEVER get made today, but before decrying it as racist, look at the writers (Richard Pryor was one of 'em). [I]Support Your Local Sheriff/Support Your Local Gunfighter[/I] - Two good Western/Comedies starring James Garner and Jack Elam. They're basically the same plot (with most of the same cast!), but different settings. Fun movies. One features a jail with no bars successfully keeping a bad guy at bay! [/QUOTE]
