A Favorite Western.

With all the Hollywood Hoopla glorifying a Western Movie about *Gay Cowboys* I thought a thread identifying a True American Western Movie is in order, so freepers what is you're all time Favorite Western Movie?

[najida]

OK,
Snowy River
and
The Jubilee Trail (The book more than the movie)

[day10]

Movie: True Grit

TV: Lonesome Dove

[warchild9]

The Magnificent Seven.

This is a film about people rediscovering their sense of honor.

Hollywood rarely touches the subject of honor; Forrest Gump comes to mind as a famous example, but there aren't many others.

[laney]

Great Ones!
I really like Snowy River, I think it's only on Video now, can't remember if it was ever on TV!

I think I will go rent it again! :)

[Constitution Day]

Gotta throw Tombstone and Lonesome Dove in there too.

I agree with those, if we're talkin' "Real" Westerns.

[Mr. Mojo]

The Wild Bunch

[Mathews]

True Grit... "Fill yer hands you Sonofabitch!"

The Cowboys... "We're burnin' daylight."

Outlaw Josey Whales... "You boys gonna pull those pistols or whistle Dixie?"

[KC_Conspirator]

Good choice on "The Searchers". I would say the many Eastwood movies, "A Fistful of Dollars", "Hang Em' High", and "Unforgiven".

[laney]

Funny no one has mentioned any Westerns with Kevin Costner...

[KC_Conspirator]

Well, Costner did play Wyatt Earp in good movie once.

[cowboyway]

Monte Walsh. Best cowboy movie ever.

It even stars Tom Selleck, a real gun toting conservative.

But let's get one thing clear; Brokebutt Mountain ain't about cowboys. They was sheep herders. And everybody knows that cowboys despise range maggots.

[fogey]

True Grit or Shane

[Clint N. Suhks]

Seven Brides For Seven Brothers!

My favorite scene is the picnic/barn-raising. And I'm not gay either.

[wallcrawlr]

I did like his recent one with Bobbie Duvall.

"Open Range"

[PzLdr]

Three by John Wayne: She Wore A Yellow Ribbon, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, The Shootist. One by Clint Eastwood: The Outlaw Josey Wales. Broken Arrow with Jimmy Stewart and Jeff Chandler.

Know there's more than one, but "Never apologize, it's a sign of weakness"

[laney]

I just mentioned that! Monty Walsh was a great movie, they need to show it on TNT again!

[Tijeras_Slim]

The Wild Bunch
The Professionals
For a Few Dollars More
Monte Walsh
True Grit
The Shootist
And about a billion more!

[Rebelbase]

Tombstone is probably the best modern Western I've seen.

Lonesome Dove was good, long but good.

[wallcrawlr]

These guys were NOT gay:

[Clint N. Suhks]

The Shootist

I forgot about that one...good call.

RIP Duke, Lauren and Jimmy.
