Almost all the Clint Eastwood westerns were very enjoyable, and he made a lot of them. My three favorites from those were the Man with No Name series, from Sergio Leone. But Unforgiven, Pale Rider, and The Outlaw Josey Wales were also very good. Really, better than just very good. At the time I first saw them, and I think I saw every western Eastwood made, I thought every western he made was enjoyable. Gunfight at the OK Corral, with Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas, is one of my favorites, though the remake (?) Tombstone, with Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer, is also very good. High Noon is also one of my favorites, with Gary Cooper and Grace Kelly. The gunfights and style of the movie are very different from today's CGI action extravaganzas, but the story is powerful, and Grace Kelly is absolutely gorgeous. I'm sure there are a bunch of other westerns that I should mention, because I grew up when they were still making westerns as part of the main genres of movies. Glenn Ford in Cimarron was very good. But those are some of the ones that I really enjoyed. | |

lk2fireone - - I just forgot about that one, which should also be at the top list: High Noon - and oh, yes - the performance of Gary Cooper and Grace Kelly - a top classic - Thanks! It'll be on my next buying list at Amazon. Have not seen it for ages.. BTW: Glenn Ford westerns are great, too. "I don't drink anymore - I freeze it, and eat it like a popcicle" | |

Also a very fine Sergio Leone movie that should be at Top 10. Eli Wallachs performance as Tuco is outstanding - Clint's ditto is not THAT good in this movie (sorry, just my opinion) - that why my favorite Sergio Leone with CE is "For A Few Dollars More" where this Italian actor Gian Maria Volonte as El Indio is just great. That movie just got a very special aura... "I don't drink anymore - I freeze it, and eat it like a popcicle" Edited on Jun 08, 2010, 09:01am | |

Support Your Local Sheriff, Support Your Local Gunfighter, Maverick, all with James Garner. Not necessarily the best Westerns ever made but the most enjoyable for me! | |

Apart from most of those already mentioned, HBO's Deadwood (2 seasons): it's great TV and many characters are based in real historical figures. Very recommendable. Anyone seen Jim Jarmusch's "Dead Man"? Weirdest western ever but absolutely worth watching. Soundtrack by Neil Young adds another layer of strangeness. As a side note, here in Spain movies have always been dubbed and movie titles are also translated. "The Searchers" is known here as "Centauros del desierto" (Desert Centaurs); quite fitting, if you've seen the movie. Others are not so fortunate; one that comes to mind is "High Noon" as "Solo ante el peligro" (Alone Against Danger). | |

Sam Peckinpah's "The Wild Bunch" is one of my favorites, along with "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid." "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I liked Deadwood so much, I bought the DVDs for the entire series, seasons 1, 2, and 3. Off topic, I also bought the series DVDs for Rome (seasons 1 and 2), which I thought was another great series. I only wish both of these series had lasted even longer. Edited on Jun 08, 2010, 03:16pm | |

I'm not really a fan of westerns, but The Unforgiven is definitely on my list of all-time favorite movies. Sarcasm is a body's natural defense against stupidity. | |

All the serious stuff I recall is pretty much covered here, Denner; but if you like Westerns and want a little diversion, might I suggest some excellent Western comedies: There's the much acclaimed "Cat Ballow"...starring Lee Marvin and an all-star cast. The venerable Mal Brook's "Blazing Saddles" was an all-time hit. But the one I like best, although it never made waves like the others, was "Evil Roy Slade." starring John Astin (the character Gomez in TV's Addams Family) I don't find too many things anymore to actually make me laugh out loud, but this flim had me doubled over .  | |

Once upon a time in the West and Breakheart Pass. Both were with Charles Bronson. Most Westerns with Audie Murphy but Gunsmoke is my favorite. Hang Em High with Clint. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Dead Man is funny as hell, my fellow countryman. The scene with Lance Henriksen, the other two bounty hunters and Robert Mitchum is hilarious. Another example of what atrapat pointed out above, Clint Eastwood's High Plains Drifter is known as Infierno de Cobardes, that is, Cowards Hell Un saludo.

Joseph L. Mankiewicz's There was a crooked Manis one of my favourite movies ever, its a very funny yet harsh flick, here is the opening title song, freakin' great! www.youtube.com/watch?v=vM-u8_RU0-8 . Another favourites are: Sidney Pollack's Jeremiah Johnson and Andrew Dominik's The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford .

My favorite "Clint" western is probably The Outlaw Josey Wales. The character starts off as a straight-laced family man, then loses his family and home to a ruthless gang. You watch him actually turn into an anti-hero. And I'd have to add High Noon. I don't know if the term "minimalism" was being bandied around at the time it was made, but it's a very different approach to a western. The sparseness is what makes it effective. And to get off-topic on the off-topic, Midnight Cowboy! It's an "eastern" that ends up headin' south. Quite a remarkable film for the late '60's. I wanted something new, so I left England for New England. | |
