"So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."
can one of you mods add this poll? My wife walked in, i got distracted for a few minutes () and then i was over my 3 minute limit.

I've fallen in love with westerns the past 6 months, unfortunately i'm only starting to build a collection, there's many i havn't seen.Originally Posted by JohnBlaze
How's this. Take my top ten list, try to find them in your local videostore, and rent them.
You will enjoy them.

Are they all serious westerns? I hate stupid pisstakes. I saw Unforgiven a few days ago, amazing!
what are pisstakes?
Some others i like but didn't make my top ten include The Man From Snowy River, and it's sequels, which are actually australian westerns.
You might enjoy those also.

pisstakes are spoofs
of course not. All my westerns are manly movies.

awesome! i love that movie. also one of my favorites. Have you seen Hang Em High?

no,
One thing about High Plains Drifter, did you notice the town (Lago)looks like it was built yesterday? it's so dumb, they didn't even try to age it.Major flaw i imo,but the only flaw.
Tombstone is my favorite, followed closely by Pale Rider and then the Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

There's gonna be a MGS movie?
In no particular order...
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Unforgiven
The Tracker
High Plains Drifter
Good Bad and the Ugly
Rio Lobo
Fist Full of Dollars
True Grit
For a Few Dollars More
Quick and the Dead
Tombstone
Wyatt Earp
The Alamo
Pale Rider
The White Bufalo
Hidalgo (I think this counts as a Western...maybe)
Rio Bravo
Ravenous (actually I think this is a horror movie but its set in the Old West)
Dances With Wolves
You didn't say I had to limit it to ten...I figured 19 is a good place to stop, considering where I amI was actually surprised when I realized just how many Westerns I liked.
Edited for verity.
Also, Dances with Wolves-with the exception of that scene where Kevin Costner's commanding officer pisses on him-is gay as hell. Little Big Man kicks that movie's ass so hard it's not even funny.
A tie between True Grit and The Cowboys
Don't agree with your selections, nor actor poll in a "Best Western" movie ever thread, but you asked, amd you shall receive.can one of you mods add this poll? My wife walked in, i got distracted for a few minutes (
I cannot believe your poll did not include the sacred GBU trilogy that inspired the DT.
Shame.
Oh, there is no requirement for you to even make a list. This is mostly a western movie fan thread.In no particular order...

I can't believe I didn't mention Dances with Wolves. I love this movie.

Well, they are some of my favorites. If I mentioned every western I like, we'd be here all day. There's alot more. But what I'm trying to do is incite conversation, which is why I posted MY favorites, and you post YOUR favorites, and we discuss.Don't agree with your selections, nor actor poll in a "Best Western" movie ever thread, but you asked, amd you shall receive.can one of you mods add this poll? My wife walked in, i got distracted for a few minutes (
For the Poll, i had alot in mind, but i felt like I had to narrow it down.
It's more like a, "out of THESE four, who did you think did best?" kind of poll. k?
