    Default Best Western Movie

    This was brought up on another thread so I thought I would start one just for this subject:

    There are many. Most of then are older than 30 years but one fairly recent was Open Range. It's a man's romance if you will allow me to say that. I have watched it several times. The cinematography is excellent , the stage set was meh IMHO but the dialog was outstanding. Listen to some of the cowboy wisdom--applies today as well.

    Another is of course the Lonesome Dove series.

    Other than that I am going further back in time.

    I would have never made it in those days but come to think about it, most didn't live long. 50 yo was ancient. Seems a boy was a man by 16 yo. Had to be since middle age was like 30 yo.

    Another was Unforgiven with Clint Eastwood ( I think that was the title)

    What is your top 1 or 2 movie?

    Unforgiven came out when I was in the hospital for a month with a broken back. A male nurse or aide or not sure what he was called asked me if I wanted to watch a movie. Since I was going stir crazy I said yeah. He brought in Unforgiven. I think I watched it 4 or 5 times in a row. Watched probably that many times or more since. Good movie.

    My favorites are:

    Pale Rider
    Tombstone
    Outlaw Josey Wales.

    Unforgiven is often mentioned as one of Clint's best movies, but I just never cared for it much. Color me different.

    Those you have listed are some favorites of mine as well.

    My top favorites are hard to call, but let's go with:
    1.Tombstone 1993
    2.Shane 1953 or Appaloosa 2008

    I like a lot of the John Ford directed westerns, Clint Eastwood's stuff, and Duvall as he has gotten older.

    Regards,
    Greg

    My all time favorite - "Outlaw Josey Wales".

    Best line in the movie:

    "Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining."
