I'll mention, The Last Train From Gun Hill [1959] Starring, Kirk Douglas and Anthony Quinn. Directed by John Sturges.

Warlock [1959] Starring, Henry Fonda, Anthony Quinn, and Richard Widmark.

The Naked Spur [1953] Starring, James Stewart, and Robert Ryan.

3:10 To Yuma. [1957] Starring, Glenn Ford, and Van Heflin. Written by Elmore Leonard.

I forget the name of the movie and haven't seen it in years. It stars Hackman, Coburn and Candice Bergen. They race across a desert. Very good from what I remember.
Anyone know it?

Bite The Bullet ?

How about Kirk Douglas and John Wayne in "The War Wagon"?

Or if that doesn't work, then Raquel Welch in "Hannie Caulder" - with Robert Culp assisting in tracking down bad guys Earnest Borgnine and Jack Elam and Strother Martin... maybe Bandolaro is actually better.

Haven't seen that one in a long time. I always thought, "Why doesn't someone just shoot one or two of the horses?"

Someone asked that of John Ford about the Indian attack scene in Stagecoach.

"Because then the movie would be over" was his response.

Back to the Future- Part 3

"Valdez is Coming" with Burt Lancaster

"The Professionals" with Lancaster, Lee Marvin and Jack Palance.

I saw Maverick this week for the first time in many years. It was still quite entertaining.

...a second vote for "Valdez Is Coming."

There are quite a few, but off the top of my head- Jacques Tourneur's Canyon Passage from 1946. Dana Andrews, Brian Donlevy, Susan Hayward, Ward Bond.

Beautifully shot in Technicolor, this is not a run of the mill Western. Highly recommended.

No doubt, I'll think of others, but this is the film that immediately came to mind.

I looked this one up on IMBD and read through some of the lines from this movie. From the examples the writing seems to be outstanding; here's one exchange:

quote:

Logan Stuart: There was a lot of good in George.
Johnny Steele: He sure panned out no color.
Logan Stuart: There's a thin margin, Johnny, between what could be and what is.
Johnny Steele: Yeah. It was thin for you last night. We were a mind to hang ya.
Logan Stuart: You see how thin the margin is.

Tom Horn, filmed in Southern Arizona, is a favorite of mine.

A few more modern ones... Wyatt Earp is lost in the shadow of Tombstone. Also, the Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, though critically acclaimed, is underrated by viewers. Is it truly a western, though? Im not sure.

Wyatt Earp is good, I think, for showing a less romanticized version of the man than Tombstone. The Assassination, I like quite a lot. It's not a Western in the Hollywood tradition, but I think it's a great film that gives a good, honest look at the subject, which Hollywood Westerns don't really do, taken as a whole.

It's so easy to forget this is a Western sometimes. I watched it a few months back for the first time in years and it holds up pretty well.

One of my favorites.


So, it was a TV miniseries, but The Sacketts is worth a watch and doesn't ever seem to get mentioned. Sam Elliott and Tom Selleck as two of three brothers and some rather memorable scenes. Sam Elliott and his Arkansas toothpick make for one scene I'll never forget from childhood.

Edit- Ha! Found it!

Duck You Sucker aka Fist full of Dynamite with James Coburn and Rod Steiger. Good stuff. Coburn is an IRA man on the run in Mexico during the Revolution. My favorite spaghetti style western.

I very much enjoyed "Silverado." John Cleese, Kevin Kline, Danny Glover, Scott Glenn and Kevin Costner.

Dug into my dvd library and found Broken Trail with Robert Duvall. Pretty good.

The Quick And The Dead.
Not the Sharon Stone one.
The one with Sam Elliot.
