30 years since Clint Eastwood`s "Unforgiven"

[Bugzilla]

Unforgiven is an excellent movie, but coming from the John Wayne era I am understandably more drawn to his movies.

You need to hit the John Wayne museum in Iowa. Went there last summer, camped at a near by KOA. Fun time.

Conagher is excellent.

Great movie, did I mention Shane?

Yeah, but I don't want to install a dvd player out on the deck. I'd have to reconfigure my tv cabinet/box and it's not worth it. To my way of thinking, if it's been on tv for free at any time (which Unforgiven has I'm pretty sure), it should be available on demand. I get Peacock for free with Xfinity, and I subscribe to Paramount+ ($4.99/month). That's as far as I'm willing to go.

Unforgiven was on Grit (Ch.6.2) just the other night. I watched it for free.

Grit has some really good stuff.

Just got done watching Unforgiven at the link that marvin02 posted. Ain't no commie here.

Sergio’s once upon a time in the west is the best film for pure film markers sake in history. The first 15 minutes alone would be worth the whole current price to see a movie.

The story builds and builds unraveling until it becomes clear what is really going on.

Once upon a time
Outlaw Josie Wales
Jeremiah johnson
Unforgiven
Tombstone
The searchers )another film makers film)
Rio bravo
The sons of Katie elder
Pat Garret and Billy the kid
Star Wars 4 a new hope

That would be my top ten westerns.

I didn't know people still watched DVD's.

Tombstone remains my favorite. Val Kilmer's Doc Holiday is one of the most iconic characters of my lifespan IMO. Unforgiven is certainly a top 10 for me as well.

I've never seen Unforgiven, but I have to agree with everything else in this post. Val as Doc in Tombstone is as good as it gets. My 2nd favorite western... hmmm... Back to the Future 3???

Nobody mentioned George Roy Hill's classic from 1969...

Watched it last night, turns out I have seen it before, I’ll just assume it’s been a looong time ago.

I need to watch Unforgiven again. I haven't watched it since it came out in the theatre and I wasn't that impressed back then. I'm sure I'll like it much better now but there is no way it is the greatest Western ever. Lonesome Dove is and always will be the greatest Western. I don't care that it is a mini series and no mere movie could hope to match the bar that it sets.

I tend to like the John Wayne Westerns over Clint Eastwood's but my top 10 would feature more Tom Selleck than either of them. Open Range and Tombstone would definitely be in my top 10 as well. Many probably won't agree that it is Top 10 worthy or even a Western but The Man from Snowy River would be firmly on my list as well.

$3.99 on Amazon to. Oh well, it’s a small price to pay to keep @BigRed from accusing me of being a commie!

Lonesome Dove is another outstanding one.

True Grit from 2010 is another excellent movie....seems to stick closer to the novel than the first one.

Lonesome Dove is another outstanding one.

I’ve seen that movie soooo many times. My father used to watch it all the time.

 

[Frosty]

Wyatt Earp with Kevin Costner is another good one

Guess I see it more As a civil war (post) movie but in hindsight it should be before the son of Katie elder and bump Star Wars off the list.

We've been trying to pick out one movie per night to watch, either from Peacock or Paramount+ and I just added this to the list from Paramount+. Also added "McClintock" and "The Shootist" (although I don't think The Shootist qualifies as a western).

Just for me, anything John Wayne is great stuff and must see.
