No Right Answer: Best Western Film Ever

[gameoni]

FAIL these are not to western movies. both these movie are spoofs of the western movie. though i like both movies this is not a serous conversion or just a massively miss-informed conversion.

 

[nuqneh1]

Out of the two debated Back To the Future 3.

Personally The Magnificent Seven.

 

[boringanarchy]

Either Unforgiven or the searchers for best western IMO

 

[Susan Arendt]

Definitely Serenity.

Actually wait, I'm only saying that because it's the only western movie I've seen...

[sub]...and it only counts if you accept "sci-fi western" as western...[/sub]

So... anyone got any good examples of a western for someone who hasn't seen one before?

Silverado is a great starter Western. The remakes of 3:10 to Yuma and True Grit are also fantastic.

 

[Krunkcity3000]

TOMBSTONE.

The End.

 

[Anti-Robot Man]

Once Upon A Time In The West for me.

 

[John the Gamer]

Yojimbo. It's a western, but then with samurai. It's pretty good. By the same guy that did seven samurai, Akira Kurosawa.

Out of all the ones I've seen I'm gonna say Butch Cassady and the Sundance kid. Though my knowledge of Westerns is limited.

 

[EvilPicnic]

TOMBSTONE.

The End.

You need to watch some better westerns my friend. But I'll be your huckleberry, it is a damn fun film.

Unforgiven is (in my opinion) the best film in the Western genre, but it's more of an anti-western than a true one.

Now, the Dollars Trilogy, they're some good films:

'I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. See, my mule don't like people laughin'. Gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now, if you apologise, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it...'

And of course the original True Grit is a classic:

He tilted his head, turned to the camera, asked what the best western ever was.

I turned it off.

Who are these people and why have they been given two shows?

 

[Kevin Scott Brown]

The Great Train Robbery (1903) defined the genre, High Noon perfected the formula and Seven Samaria reinvented the idea of the Western. Top Three Westerns.

Tarantino now has to show up at your house and punch you in the mouth.

Also, you guys better be swimming on free soda next time.

 

[Kenjitsuka]

Whilst you where chugging Jones Soda I was chugging cheap Dutch immitation vodka.
Whatever helps you sleep at night, right?

In your case there was indeed no right answer, but seriously.
Probably The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
Not that I know many westerns...

Too bad we don't have "cream soda" in the Netherlands.
I would try it, a drink that is "buttery": very, very mysterious and thus interesting!

 

[Speakercone]

Best Western film ever?

Star Wars. Natch.

Ninja'd. Star Wars even has the hat and duster as of the new TOR trailer

 

[Valtiel Butcher]

Once upon a time in the west.

 

[Agent Larkin]

Best Western?

Django.

 

[Woodsey]

I would say The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford BUT I am reluctant to label it a western - its more a character-piece that happens to be set in that period.

Well, you can't really complain seeing as you didn't actually watch the show, now did you? Go back, watch the show, then we will see if you still hate it. Otherwise, stop complaining about things you know nothing about.

 

[putowtin]

Shane....
what? it's a classic!

But from the debate, Back to the Future: Part 3

Thank god I am not alone in thinking Tarantino has gone down a deep, dark path and should probably just retire before it gets any worse. First few movies = really good, everything else that came after = total tosh. His Kill Bill trilogy missed the mark by a mile in trying to emulate kung-fu movies, mostly from some pretty basic mistakes any Chinese director simply wouldn't have made. His grindhouse movies might have limped by if Rodriguez didn't also make the same genre in partnership with him and BLOW HIS MOVIES OUT OF THE WATER by comparison. Well said sir, and cruelty indeed to cut you short mid rant!
