![20 Things You Didn't Know About Young Guns [1988]](/img/n.gif)
Love The Proposition. I seem to recollect that Nick Cave did the soundtrack to The Assassination of Jesse James too.😊
He did, him and Warren Ellis, along with quite few other good films. He also wrote the script for The Proposition
For Westerns on TV; Godless, The English, and Lonesome Dove were all outstanding. As good as almost any movie Western.
Broken Trail, a miniseries from 2006 with Robert Duvall and Thomas Hayden Church, is my definite pick for a "newer" hidden gem.
What about "Missing" with Tommy Lee Jones and Kate Blanchet.
Westward the Women, The Last Hunt (56), Vera Cruz, Jeremiah Johnson, The Unforgiven (60), A Man in the Wilderness, Yellow Sky, The Alamo (60), Red Sun, Lonely Are the Brave and Last Train From Gun Hill are great westerns. Nowadays almost nobody seems to know these films.
Lonesome Dove is hands down the best western I've ever seen. Mini Series or not. Haven't any western on it's level
Hateful Eight is more of a gore fest than a western, it is QT though
Outlaw Josey Wales & The Long Riders are both incredible old weaterns
Big thank you to everybody that commented on my original video and support the channel in general, this video is for you guys. Also, do let me know below if you have any underrated Western TV show suggestions for a possible follow-up video!
And if you missed it, here is the original video of my Top 10 MOST Underrated Western Movies Ever Made: ua-cam.com/video/wC2eyho_eL4/v-deo.html
One of my favorite T.V. Westerns was the life and times of Grizzly Adams with Dan Haggerty. Not a traditional western but had a great feel. Enjoyed this and Little House on the Prairie a lot when I was growing up.
My Name is Nobody may be my favorite western of all time.
The Proposition has some of the most impressive Irish accents from actors who weren't actually Irish
The Proposition is one of my favorite films of the past 20 years
It has aged really well as well
great film - as is sweet country
As far as Tv westerners go I loved Paradise the 1988-1990 series starring Lee Horsley and Sigrid Thorton.
That show is really good and the intro is LEGENDARY.
Never heard of that one. Is it set in Australia? I figured if it stars Sigrid Thornton, it must be Aussie.
@@matthalpin1981 American setting, you'll find the entire seasons on youtube if you search for Guns of Paradise.
@@matthalpin1981
I believe it was a a US production. I had a major crush on Sigrid!
If Silverado, The Quick and the Dead and Open Range is a hidden western gem. Star Wars and Star Trek is a hidden sci-fi gem
That's what I was thinking. Silverado is one of the best known westerns from the 80's, a decade that doesn't have a lot of competitors.
Yeah Costner is western hero today, and he made his career stealing scenes in Silverado.
Broken Trail is great, Old Henry is great, and Silverado is awesome, I remember watching Silverado with my father when it came out, brought back great memories of my Dad, thank you.
The Sacketts
2 part mini series, based on two Louis L'amour books, The Daybreakers and Sackett
I can't believe these were on the afterthought list.
Most of these are on my top westerns list.
Maybe it's my age.
The Culpepper cattle company is a hidden gem...
I'm amazed it's not more well known .It's a superb movie and really deserves more recognition.
Old Henry is fantastic! Open Range is one of my favs...as is The Assassination of Jesse James. check out News of the World...and Kevin Costner's Wyatt Earp. i like much more than Tombstone.
Really not a fan of Kevin Costner, but recently stumbled across "open range" and absolutely loved it - I think for every cliche it offered something a bit different. Also Absolutely love The Proposition!
Great list, couple on there I need to check out.
Grew up with Grizzly Adams & Little house on the prairie - love those for not being fun toting tropes. But best series I've seen of late is "Godless".
Absolutely Joe Kidd, one of my very favorites.
Very good list, though I would definitely put Dead Man in there somewhere.
Silverado is a great western and a classic from the 80's . I have seen him in the cinema and love him from day one. Greetings from the Netherlands
Can’t argue with Silverado at 1.
Gonna be fire
Rough Riders is another one I loved watching.
Another very underrated western was Ride with the Devil.
I really enjoyed the Magnificent Seven as TV series. It's one of my comfort shows to watch 🙂
I have the dvd set
SERAPHIM FALLS is an AMAZING tale of magnanimous quality !!
I’d also add Lee Van Cleef’s Sabata. Really like that film
Well add them to my list haha, great video, for shows, I really enjoyed, Wild Wild West at 5, Hell on Wheels as a 4, Bonanza as a 3, Little house on the prairie if you count it as a western as 2, and Deadwood as my favorite Western show, but I need to see the rifleman and lonesome dove before I can know for sure haha
Underrated western TV shows:
Alias Smith and Jones
Dick Powell's Zane Grey Theater
A hidden gem western tv series was 'Wild Boys'. Terrible name but a great show which lasted only one season and was set in the Australian 1880s.
The Man From Snowy River!
Although Gunsmoke is (to my knowledge) the longest running live action TV show in the US and seemed to be popular during its day. It is still totally underrated! Everything about this production is A+ (especially the first 10 seasons or so). Writing, Directon, Cinematography, Costumes, Music (Bernard Hermann, Jerry Goldsmith, etc.) It also features some of the greatest character actors of all time! (Strother Martin, Jack Elam, Dean Stanton, etc.) Later included breakout young actors like Harrison Ford and Jodie Foster, among others. It should be discussed among the greatest of any genre. If aspiring filmakers want to learn how to do it right on every level you can start and end here. In the history of all TV, some may come close but nothing beats it.
I can only give my impressions of which TV Westerns are underrated. I don't know if they actually were, whether critics panned them or not. "The Guns of Will Sonnett" starring Walter Brennan is an important one, IMHO. "Branded" starring Chuck Connors was one I liked. It was quite jarring at first since the role he played was so different than Lucas McCain on "The Rifleman" (which was also a good one, but hardly underrated). And I don't know if it qualifies as "underrated," but "Wanted: Dead or Alive" with Steve McQueen was good. Oh, and it may primarily be important to me because I'm a Texan, but "The Rebel," another series from my childhood. I can still hear the the theme song (Johnny Cash sang it).
Lonesome dove and return to lonesome dove where my go to western series growing up.
Great choices! Just watched Silverado again the other day. Totally agree it is a gem!
How can I send a PM to you?
The Gunfighter and The Big Country would be a good addition.
The missing from 2003 is underrated in my opinion.
In America the most underratd or better unknown Western is the Austrian-German Film "Das finstere Tal" or "The Dark Valley" as it is named internationally! A fantastic Movie set in Austria (NOT Australia!) but has the style of a true Western! A mysterious man arrives in a village deep in the Austrian Alps to have revenge upon the family that rules the whole valley. The setting is phenomenal but unfamiliar to a western what gives this movie its outstanding uniqueness! An absolute MUST WATCH for Western Fans...
The Assassination of Jesse James is the equivalent to Blade Runner. It changed the genere forever but never got the recognition’s really deserves.
Joe Kidd is one of my favorites. Slow West is a great western that doesn’t get much attention but really should I’ve watched it twice and will again. That would have been my #1. Check it out!
Two I would add but not sure what list to put it on is (you probably covered these already)....
"Valdez Is Coming" - 1971 is a western with the most unusual ending.
And "The Professionals" - 1966 about a rescue attempt with Burt Lancaster, Lee Marvin, Woody Strode, Jack Palance, Robert Ryan and the beautiful Claudia Cardinale.
Really like Open Range.
Fine list. One not included is called Posse, starring Bruce Dern and Kirk Douglas. It's a wonderful morality play. Virtually impossible to find, though.
The most underrated western gem is without a doubt they call me Trinity number 2 is Frank and Jessie lots of big actors but nobody ever talks of it
"They call me Trinity" may not have been a hit in the US But all over Europe it was HUGE, Bigger than any American western at the time. Same goes for the sequel "They Still call me Trinity".
@@BluesmanDizzy i figured it was seeing how they made so many crappy sequels not the my name is still Trinity one but the Trinity sees red revenge of Trinity ECT the fight before Christmas was really good but idk if it was considered a Trinity movie or not
"The Hired Hand", with Peter Fonda, and "Comes a Horseman", with Jane Fonda, James Caan and Jason Robards. Nothing really creative or great about them - except the performances, the spectacular scenery and cinematography of Comes a Horseman -, but I love these movies. (off topic commentary: I never saw Jeremiah Johnson cited in any of your videos. It's my pick for the greatest western movie ever...)
I enjoyed all those film with one expection Assasination of Jesse James due to not watching it yet.
Great list…Clint Eastwood should have directed Joe Kidd with nooooo bowler hat as it was a show wrecker from the get go…The Harder They Fall was a great western..,The Quick and the Dead was all eye candy with hardly any script..Old Henry was one of the best on the list with the classic My Name is Nobody..
Old Henry is brilliant 👍
Appaloosa is one of the most under-the-radar westerns.
I was surprized Bone Tomahawk wasn't on the list.
The Proposition is the greatest western of the 21st century.
the Long Riders.
If you haven’t watched old Henry don’t read any spoilers just watch it and thank me later. Once you see the end you’ll have to pick your jaw up. My grandfather and I loved every minute of it ESPECIALLY THE END.
The Long riders
One's I'd recommend are hombre 1967 the last hard men 1976 ride the high country 1962 and bite the bullet 1975
I would recommend "Dead Man" by Jim Jarmusch starring Johnny Depp and "Barbarosa" starring Willie Nelson & Gary Busey. Both very underrated.
TV Westerns; The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. 1993
I quite enjoyed the series called The Son, with Pierce Brosnan.
For the underrated TV series, I vote for "Deadman's Gun."
Well seeing as how you asked for western series, Lonesome Dove, and Deadwood are the best, I think.
I'm surprised about the absence of "Blackthorn"! The Manhunt through the Uyuni Salt Flats is magnificent because of the setting in Bolivia. As i mention Bolivia you can simply guess that the man with the name Blackthorn is a surviving Butch Cassidy. Great Movie...
And where is "Wind River"? Imho the best contemporary Western. Or was it not so hidden in the US? But if you got Silverado in the list, Wind River is defnitely more a hidden gem...
The Proposition is one of the best Westerns of all time. Just is.
Really a fan of Open Range. It's has slow start to take in the grandeur of West which was probably off putting for some. But I enjoyed that aspect immensely . But the missing element, where the film really finds its stride, is when Annette Bening makes her appearance. You wouldn't think that the romantic element mattered. But it does.
It fits the definition of an Under Appreciated Western as the IMDB score was nothing special. You would think that all the viewers of Yellowstone would go back to check out this movie. It would really scratch that itch while Yellowstone is still on a long hiatus.
I will probable be the only person to mention this film, but I really thought the movie " Alone Yet Not Alone " (2013) was a refreshingly good movie, and one of a few Christian movies (and only Western) to get my attention as being far above par. Low budget but outperforms in most categories.
P.S. I enjoyed your previous list in the first video... three of them were good watches for me that I had not seen before.
Most underrated TV Western? That's easy.
Firefly.
Yeah, there's spaceships and sci-fi trappings. But there's also a cagey, misunderstood outlaw, a hooker with a heart of gold, a loyal gan....ummm, crew. It's of a piece with Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. Oh, speaking of underrated Western TV....
The Culpepper Cattle Company.
Slow West. No one mentioning this? Unbelievable!
I know we're done with movies... But what about 'The Culpepper Cattle Company' 1972? Hot Diggety what a movie
open range is not a hidden gem it is one of the best westerns ever
I don't know if this underate but hell on wheels
I'll have to watch all these now. I shouldn't watch anymore of you're suggests 😅
Obviously, the results for this are what people voted for and fair play to that.
Had I found this channel earlier, my vote would absolutely go to Open Range.
I think that film is just brilliant. But hey, that's just me.
When Charley chases after the bad guy who holds Sue Barlow hostage and gets close to him and shoots him point blank 3 times, the way he does is one of the best examples of violent intentions & actual execution I remember seeing.
It wasn't over the top. It was delivered with absolute precision, and it didn't ponder too long on it after the fact, either.
"Men are going to die today, Sue, and I'm gonna kill 'em. Do you understand that?"
He said that without malice, without cranking it up for the viewer. It was said like a man who has done it before and IS going to do it again. Just a matter of fact.
That has stayed with me for a long time. You really get to feel the intent and reality of that situation.
Arguably, for me, alongside Jonn Dunbar, Charley Waite is his best suited character.
Damn...... now I gotta go n watch it now. 😂
Silverado is rightfully at the top spot.
what about guns of paradise and dr. quinn medicine woman
Silverado is certainly a gem, but a hidden one? It did okay at the box office, not a hit, but not a flop. The movie did more than okay on streaming services as well. It got good reviews and it's widely considered an eighties classic. More importantly, fans of westerns are very familiar with it. As well as the many fans of the majors acting stars. I feel that you maybe wasted a spot here...
Breakheart Pass.....
Hostiles, Appaloosa
TV westerns, I recommend The Wild Wild West and Wanted Dead or Alive
Open Range is not underrated. People can't shut up about it. It is ALWAYS mentioned.
I wouldn't call Silverado a hidden gem. Same for Open Range or Quick and The Dead. All got a lot of notice . Once again a " Top Ten " pretty much only covers the last few decades thus leaving out many films. Just one worth noting
The Culpepper Cattle Company.
The Ballad Of Cable Hogue is a good one not on this list.
There aren't any real westerns in the bunch. Mostly from the counter western period and later.
And another thing I will never understand the people who support the assassination of Jessie James now brad pitt was a great Jessie James but it's the most boring pice of garbage I've ever watched nothing happened and it's 2 and a half hours and literally nothing I mean nothing happenes and there's no way u called Silverado underrated one of the biggest movies of the genre
Yeah, I tried watching it but the pacing was killing me and I quit after 20 minutes or so. But with so many people loving it, I keep thinking I have to try watching it again when I have plenty of time to kill and don't feel like I am in a hurry.
@@matthalpin1981 I don't get it I literally watched it last night and I couldn't tell u a thing that happened except for brad pitt was great I highly recommend Frank and Jessie thou with rob lowe and Bill Paxton that movie is great this movie is boring it's not about Jessie James either it's about the guy who shot him and I think the guy who played him was very weird and not very good
@@RedRider763 Bill Paxton was great in EVERYTHING he did. I will check that one out when I can.
screwSilverado! seriously? it's simply pathetic no matter of which angle you view it.
These were all good, except the quick and the dead. Absolutely stupid movie. And you don't have Dead Man, with Johnny Depp. It shames all the ones on this list.
Silverado is the first hidden gem Western I thought of before watching the video. Old Henry is by far the one to see if you didn't. Also, Brisco County Jr. was a great tv series that I wish went on much longer.
Brisco County Jr was awesome. Long live Bruce Campbell
When Costner said, "we'll be back", I couldn't wait for a sequel. I'm disappointed there wasn't one.☹️
