40 replies and Open Range and Quigley Down Under don't even get honorable mentions? SMDH. Can y'all say Bobby f**king Duval and Alan f**king Rickman? Does the Paddock even westerns, bro?

Definitely the funniest western followed by "Support your local Sheriff" and "Support your local gunfighter" (James Garner films). Also, "My name is Nobody" Terrance Hill and Henry Fonda is pretty funny.
you bunch of unlearned beasts

THIS!
I also loved Little Big Man, Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, and the Shawshank Redemption of westerns...Tombstone
Oh sure, you'll agree with me on Open Range, but you won't give up a "like" even though I mentioned it first.
I prefer the sequel.
So, you forced me to Google this, only to find out that this movie was never made. There's is a pretty good interwebz hoax out there that it was in production and would star Emma Watson and Margo Robbie. Someone has GOT to make this a reality. Could be the highest grossing film of all time.
That first mention was canceled by you for even bringing up Quigley Down Under. You just like you some Tom Selleck in chaps. Admit it.
Ok, I admit it, I "like" Tom Selleck.
OTOH, Cary Grant repeatedly Cosby'd a young Selleck when Tommy was trying to break into Hollywood. Big difference.
Wasn't the title "The Fur Traders?"I prefer the sequel.
I'm 28 years old but,

In addition to High Plains Drifter Butch Cassidy and Little Big Man and a few others mentioned
The Long Riders
Dances with Wolves
Is No Country for Old Men a Western?
Can't believe no one has made McCarthy's Border Trilogy into a Western

I understand the Tombstone love, but never really understood choosing it over Wyatt Earp. Tombstone was a glimpse of who Earp and his brothers were.
I'd even say the cast of Wyatt Earp is better than Tombstone.
What am I missing?

Absolutely not. Not even close.
Also, the OP didn't ask for a list...so I'm not gonna give one.
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Loved it! More or at least as much as The Good, The Bad & The Ugly. Rio Bravo and Once Upon a Time are tough to beat also.
Oh ye of un-carnel knowledge...what blasphemy you spout. You are Americans. You drive me to drink and drink hard. I am drinking that rock gut The Kracken 94 proof Black Spiced Rum. Oh the shame of being a poster on this site. Lest we forget...
:chairshot::chairshot::chairshot::chairshot::chairshot:[poop]:lock:
It starts and stops with John Wayne PERIOD. In between you have some very watchable westerns but to not start with John Wayne and end with John Wayne is sacrilege...
I am drinking hard this evening. More due to this thread and that is no lie...
Sigh...and my oldest daughter just bought me the John Wayne Epic Collection and it arrived today for a fathers day present. I am watching In Harm's Way right now.
Suffice it to say. Bless Your hearts...

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is far and away the best.
See you soon idiots... it's for you.

It's hard to argue with any of the serious responses. Still I do have a fav. "Silverado". Decent story, star studded cast, and shot in NM in a time when I lived there.
Some of you lead sheltered lives..
Just for giggles try and watch;
Tall in the Saddle
Man from Utah
Chisum
Just to name a few over a period of time...from the 30's to the 70's. You want a wide swath of good work, try that. Again, I am not downing other westerns but the real good attitudes of the west came out in John's works. Look a little deeper than one liner's sometimes. (Not knocking Clint in any way. I have a lot of his works too.) In the 70's I told a producer friend I knew at the time hoping he could in someway get the message to anyone who'd listen that Clint Eastwood was the only one who could have ever made a John Wayne biography type movie. It would have been a total character change for him but if he could have pulled it off, today; it would be Clint Eastwood and then everyone else...jmuo
