15 Western Classics You Probably Haven't Seen
Movies drift out of the modern zeitgeist all the time, and no genre feels this more than the classic Western. By now, it's well-trodden ground, and any filmmaker daring to saddle up better have something fresh to say. But that doesn't mean the old guard should be dismissed. Plenty of classic Westerns still hit as hard as they did back in their heyday - gritty, timeless reminders of where the genre (and we) have been.

10 Underrated Western Flops (#3 Killed the Studio)
Переглядів 42 тис.4 години тому
Not all Westerns ride off into the sunset. Some crash and burn so spectacularly they take entire careers - and even studios - down with them. These are the Western flops that aimed for glory and ended up buried in disgrace.

The Oscars have always had a soft spot for serious dramas, especially ones flaunting historical gravitas or tackling societal issues. War films? Total voter catnip. They tick all the boxes - romance, biopic vibes, and enough tragic heroics to keep tissues handy. The first-ever Best Picture winner, 1927's Wings, was a war epic, and since then, 15 more have snagged the coveted prize. Here’s the c...
This $97 million flop is the most inaccurate war movie ever made

It’s a war movie that cost $97 million to make, flopped at the box office, and left actual Marines rolling their eyes. Critics couldn’t decide if it was a misunderstood masterpiece or the most inaccurate war movie ever made. So, what went wrong with Jarhead?

Steven Spielberg has never directed a Western, but two of them are so important to him that he re-watches them before every movie he makes. Both films left their mark on history - and on Spielberg himself. If the man who made Jurassic Park and Schindler’s List swears by these Westerns, maybe it’s time to watch them.

Dennis Hopper was Hollywood’s ultimate comeback kid - a man who’d been exiled for his chaos, clawed his way back with Easy Rider, and then blew it all over again with Catchfire. A movie so bad, he didn’t just hate it - he erased his name from it, crediting 'Alan Smithee' instead.

Paul Newman once called this film the worst movie of the 1950s - and he starred in it. Released in 1954, this 'epic' tells the story of a Greek artist hired to decorate the cup of Christ. Sounds promising, right? Not according to Newman. He later said the film was 'god-awful' and claimed it nearly ended his career before it started.

Quentin Tarantino has a knack for picking the unexpected, and when asked which Western you should watch before Django Unchained, he didn’t choose a Hollywood classic. Instead, he championed Navajo Joe, a brutal spaghetti Western directed by Sergio Corbucci - yes, the same guy behind the original Django.

There’s only one World War II movie that Orson Welles absolutely despised.

    Spielberg also donated $500,000 to the National Yiddish Book Center so they could digitize a portion of their collection and make it available for free. That section is the Steven Spielberg Digital Yiddish Library, which can be reached through the Internet Archive, or through the NYBC website.

    I remember the 1980's Lone Ranger also had a little bit of controversy. Clayton Moore the Lone Ranger most people remember used to make public appearances as the Lone Ranger. The studio obtained a court order prohibiting Moore from making future appearances as The Lone Ranger. They felt there was that there was only one Lone Ranger and it wasn't him. Huge backlash. People just saw it as bullying an old man. I know that the movie is awful, but I'm sure many people made the decision not to support it, period.

    Well, I’ve never claimed to have the ability to discern a good movie from a bad one! So, this list includes two movies I really like’ “ Hostiles”&”Paint Your Wagon”! Let me also add that I think that “Istar” with Warren Beatty & Dustin Hoffman is one of the funniest movies ever made! Charles Grodin was a big plus in the movie & yes it too lost money & cost Elaine May, the director, her career!

    Heaven's Gate is actually a masterpiece. UA's panic cost them their company. They hired an editor to chop 70 minutes out of the version they originally screened and were stupid enough to let all of their consternation and negative opinions about the film get into the press. The release version made no sense to viewers. It destroyed the pace and narrative. By the time the any version was released, the public had been warned away. I saw the release version anyway since I enjoyed westerns. It was a mess. You would've believed that Cimino didn't know how to tell a story. If they had kept their mouths shut, released the current restored version and promoted it as an epic western then it might have made enough to save the studio. The United Artist execs were their own worst enemies.

    Except for Wild, Wild, West (and Seraphim Falls, which I haven't seen) these are all good movies. I've watched Paint Your Wagon many times because I really like it (including the songs). When I saw Heaven's Gate the first time I had low expectations due to the bad publicity, but I thought it was a darn good movie. Cowboys and Aliens was highly improbable but a lot of fun to watch. I also like Alamo and Hostiles and are on my regular rewatch list. One of the comments below says Seraphim Falls is on yoootooob. I have to look for it now.
