Old Westerns?

[Lj429]

Hey Everybody

Might seem random but lately this is where I have been getting all my news, Gun information, and general entertainment lol.

Anyways, anyone have recommendations for good western movies? Open to anything. Been enjoying a few lately and thought I’d ask.

I have a hard time watching the old ones despite my best effort. But as for remakes and new ones… you’ve probably seen but if you haven’t they are worth the watch obviously tombstone, 3:10 to Yuma, 1883 the series (possibly my favorite out of all the choices), open range, magnificent 7, true grit. I know you die hard western people will be all over me for liking the remakes lol

I’m working on 1883, the wife says it’s too slow so I gotta find time to watch it. Those are definitely all solid remakes. Need to look into Open Range and I can’t believe I still haven’t seen tombstone. Gotta see if it’s streaming.

To slow?! My wife wouldn’t watch it with me either she doesn’t watch tv much at all….. I still binged the series which is unlike me lol

haven’t seen tombstone…… wow. It is a bit ironic how gun culture likes that movie given its story line. Still a great movie for entertainment.

In no particular order

Hombre
True Grit (I like both versions)
3:10 to Yuma (both versions)
Magnificent 7 (original)
The Wild Bunch
Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid
The Outlaw Josie Wales
Once Upon a Time in the West (great opening scene)
Tombstone
Winchester 73
The Ox-Bow Incident
The Naked Spur
Bend of the River

Almost a western, modern setting western sensibility

No Country For Old Men
Hell or High Water
The Shootist

Haha yes the best!

I forgot Silverado & Blazing Saddles.

One of my Mom's favorites was The Sons of Katie Elder with Big Jake a close second (or just about any John Wayne Western).

Five Card Stud is a pretty good western with an interesting cast, Dean Martin, Robert Mitchum and Yaphet Kotto.

The best western TV series was Have Gun, Will Travel - IMO.

There are plenty of best western lists on the internet.

Yea I was checking out some of the lists. I’ve already got suggestions here that I haven’t seen on the lists. Thanks for the recommendations!

Quigley down under
The Saketts based on the book series by Louis La'more
There's another one based on a La'more book with Sam Elliot and Tom Selleck

Any clint eastwood western.

And if you’re into tv series, check out Bonanza. There’s some great gun handling in that show, some silly stuff too, but you can tell the main characters spent some time getting familiar with their weapons.

The Searchers and Rio Bravo ( Angie Dickinson looking hot in a corset)

 

[pute62]

Shenandoah was always a classic for me.

 

[tmschuller]

Tales of Wells Fargo very good tv show and character Jim Hardy. We all need some people like him around
Bat materson is another but cheesy

 

[boogieman]

A fistful of dollars
For a few dollars more
Both are solid Clint Eastwood westerns

Kind of a comedy western, but entertaining." Support your local sheriff" with (I believe) with James Garner.
