William Money out of Missouri... One of the best scenes of any westerns.. I've seen it 50 times and it never ever gets old.. The pouring rain and darkness sets it up perfectly... Clint Eastwood and John Wayne are two of my favorite cowboys...
still hate him for the Jim Morrison hit job from o.stoned! check out valley of violence if your a western fan like myself. yes kilmer was good in that, doc that is.
Open Range is often overlooked, but has been one of my favorites. It's the character development and relationships coupled with the brilliance of the actors that make it special for me.
I thought it was very good. Robert Duvall is always great. One of the best actors ever and I think Annette Benning gave her best performance and Michael Jeter always added to any movie he was in.
People keep talking about how many shots Charlie has in his six shooter if you would all pay attention you would see that they are different points of iview of the same scene so it's not 16 or 10 or even eight shots
I agree with Lonesome Dove, It belongs on the list. Tombstone is one of the best if not the best of the modern era. If for no other reason Val Kilmer's excellent performance as Doc Holiday puts it on the list. In my humble opinion his being ignored by the Oscars is an indication of how suspect the voting for best actor and supporting actor actually is, he didn't even get nominated. I rate his performance as one of the best ever in Westerns and non Westerns alike.
Totally forgot about Lonesome Dove, please except my apology. It is absolutely one of the best movies of all times. I had just moved to Del Rio, TX, after they had just finished making the movie, literally. Robert Duvall went to one of the local stores often, they said he was very nice but very quiet.
I'm not going very far out on a limb to say Lonesome Dove doesn't make the cut because it's a TV miniseries and not a movie. One of my faves as well but it doesn't really qualify.
It was a hell of an oversight and a blight on the Oscar process. But worse decisions have been made. The greatest war movie made in my lifetime - Saving Private Ryan - lost best picture to a fluffy little film called Shakespeare in Love. Imagine how many more people have seen and loved SPR six, eight, 10 times and how many have even seen SIL more than once.
Western will always be the Western. There's no old or being modern about it. A whiskey, A beer, A pistol, A rifle, Horse, Cattle and open range fields. They are amazing. Thanks to Hollywood for bringing in the best. And don't forget Trinity, because thats still my name.
Agreed, although it isn't as historically accurate as they claimed. Even though it isn't a novel approach, of an inventive story, but I like the "good guys are GOOD, and the bad guys are BAD" of Silverado. All of these films are great. I also like the remake of the Mag. Seven, but you have to like anything with Denzel in it.
Among modern westerns, Unforgiven is a class of its own; it might be the best of all western movies of any time. Unforgiven is certainly in the top five western movies of all time.
Unforgiven and Tombstone are the top 2 but there are other great ones. 3:10 to Yuma was outstanding as was Wyatt Earp and Silverado. That's my top 5 of what I consider the modern era of the 80s to today.
Lonesome Dove. For character development and story it can't be beat. Thousands of people throughout the United States make plans to watch it every year.
If by modern they mean after 1980 then Tombstone has to be #1. I liked Silverado though I know it was more of a homage to Westerns than a serious Western but I like the young Kevin Costner before he became so dour and Brian Dennehy was always a great villain. The True Grit remake fell way short and was unnecessary. I like Open Range a lot . Did not care much for 3:10 to Yuma but I'm not a fan of Russel Crowe. I love Unforgiven. I love that line We all got it coming. And the end is one of the best revenge scenes ever. Lonesome Dove, though a TV miniseries is Great. One of the best things of any kind ever on broadcast television. I loved A Million Ways to Die in the West but I like Seth McFarlane and I like spoofs of things I like. I know some people don't. But no modern or newer Western is as good as Tombstone.
Each movie has scene or two that stays with you...some movies you are willing to watch anytime...unforgiven, tombstone, dances with wolves, 310 to yuma and i really enjoyed the missing.
From about 2:52 to about 3:11 Charlie Waite's "six-shooter" fired about 17 rounds. Now *that* would have been a nice weapon to have back in those days. One of my favorite lines in the original True Grit : When asked why he planned to shoot the last outlaw that tried to enter the cabin, Rooster said "Well, gives 'em to know our intentions is serious".
@@milescoburn1845 , I did not see the alleged second handgun anywhere in this scene. Even if he did have two handguns, are you saying that each was a nine-shooter ?
Can't beat the original. The actors gave the characters more depth. The acting in the newer one wasn't quite as dynamic which is not only disappointing, but it seems to be the norm for a lot of recent movies.
Jesse James with Brad is a western that i love watching over and over again. My DVD is getting warn out. The Unforgiven is just a classic Eastwood film.
I think _Tombstone_ is the last of the breed of the great western of the 50s, with a quasi-happy ending, a clear distinction between good guys and bad guys and that kinda idealized version of the old west, which I'm totally fine with since it's one of my all time favourites. Though I wish more films like _True Grit_ and oh-my-God _The Assassination Of Jesse James_ were made in the last decade. _The Proposition_ (2005) and _Blueberry_ (aka _Renegade_, 2004) need a special mention, especially the last one, until it takes a psychedelic twist at the end it's a beautifully shot and very well put together film, with good performances, a good villain and all the elements that make up for a good western at the right place, now I liked the whole thing but many seemed to have a problem with the last 20 minutes, which I can understand... ...and don't even start with that Django bullshit, the italian one was fun 'cause it was campy and over the top, Tarantino's one was just obnoxious and self-indulgent...kinda like him. Check out _Sukiyaki Western Django_ instead or _The Good, The Bad And The Weird_ if you're looking for a different take on the western genre.
I literally agree with everything you said specifically what you said you about Django, my god that movie was trash. And how you said “oh my God The Assassination of Jesse James” That’s my favorite movie of all time
It's also a generational thing. I loved Tombstone but When Magnificent Seven came out in 1960, that took the country by storm. All these young actors who became household names, starting with their roles in Mag7: Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, James Coburn, Robert Vaughn. Of course Yul Brynner and Eli Wallach were already established, but most of the younger guys were still on their way up. The musical score by Elmer Bernstein, the photography, the treatment - on the insistence of the Mexican government I think - that the Mexican farmers be portrayed in a positive light - it all came together in a brilliant, exciting Western. And here's something only older Americans know: bad guys in Westerns alway were dirty, unshaven and rode really crummy looking horses. in Mag7, the Mexican bandits of Calvera (Wallach) rode incredible Spanish bred ((I think) horses that were even cooler than the ones the good guys rode.
I thought Kevin Costner's Open Range film was very well thought out, and very well performed by everyone in it.The final shootout took its time to get there, but it was worth waiting for. :)
I remember the shock in the theater when Charlie just blasted that dude straight in the head, and the shock of everyone around him when he did it... People are going to argue, but to me, that was the best shootout.
@@jamesburris4078 well, if we’re really calling it... the final duel between Mortimer and El Indio in For a Few Dollars More tops the shootout board for me. But Open Range is a good showing in its own right.
Tombsone, Lonesome Dove, Rio Bravo, Unforgiven, Dances with Wolves, my best modern. Greatest Western Ever was The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. Other greats Winchester 73, Shane, High Noon and the Magnificent Seven. Different strokes for different folks.
I recently watched Old Henry with Tim Blake Nelson and not only does it rank up their as one of the best westerns I’ve ever seen but I liked the fact that he actually reloads after shooting multiple times. Unforgiven & Open Range rank right up there. Never seen the Assassination of Jesse James. As for True Grit there is only one True Grit in my opinion and that’s the John Wayne version. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Many others should be on here especially Pale Rider.
Tim Blake Nelson was outstanding in 'The Ballad of Buster Scruggs'. The perfect combination of remorseless gun slinger and singing cowboy. And the Kid in Black puts me in mind of Ian McCullumn from Forgotten Weapons
Sergio Leone was one of the greatest directors of the 20th Century! I think the Good the Bad & the Ugly is a better pic than Once upon a Time in the West.
I don't know if anyone will agree with me but my favorite Western of all time is Quigley Down Under the dialogue the action the acting and the music were all top notch in that movie
Great movie, it had the right amount of humor but was still bad ass. They definitely made a mistake in not doing another movie, maybe a Quigley Back West where he returns to the states.
'The Good, Bad, and the Ugly' is a great film, but it belongs to a different era. This is for "Modern Westerns." 'The Good, Bad, and the Ugly' is a "Spaghetti Western."
mike....UNFORGIVEN and OPEN RANGE are two of my favorites. The best lines in both these movies was....you just shot an unarmed man, well he should have armed himself....The Unforgiven. Boss man I need to know your name....BlueBonnett and don’t you go on telling no one.....Open Range. There were very many great western made in the forties, fifties and sixties and also in the seventies, but these two stand out.
5 років тому+2
The Wild Bunch, that was the best I have ever seen, because it had the best actors for the job, and Sam Pekenpah did a lot of impro on the movie set
Not only is Tombstone a great western, it is many times better than 3:10 To Yuma. The original 3:10 is a tight, tense clock-watcher and the remake is like a woman wearing too much makeup. It's a silly Hollywood comic book with dynamite.
Respect your opinion, and I like Costner but I disagree with him. Silverado was better than 3:10 to Yuma. I’ve seen many, many westerns from all eras. They all have something I like.
Idk, If we are talking strictly Eastwood westerns, there are so many to choose from.The Ugly trilogy, Josey Wales, Pale Rider, High Plains Drifter, Hang um High, Two Mules for Sister Sara and Unforgiven. I'm sure I left one or two out but with that list I just mentioned, how can you pick which one is the best...haha.
NO TOMBSTONE?? It is one of the most enjoyable, and more importantly, rewatchable movies out there. Good list, but that's an egregious omission. The only one on the list that is as enjoyable to rewatch repeatedly is The Unforgiven. My opinion, nothing more nothing less.
I do really like all five of these movies. However, Only Unforgiven and Open Range would be in my top five. Along with Tombstone, Appaloosa, And Lonesome Dove. However, I respect your choices, and True Grit would be number 6 for me. All a matter of preference.
Thanks for mentioning Appaloosa. 1. Cold Mountain 2. Appaloosa 3. Hostiles 4. There Will Be Blood 5. Slow West 6. Ride With The Devil 7. The Missing 8. Unforgiven 9. Dead Man 10. Django Unchained
@@hlynnkeith9334 FWIW, short list of top notch oater actors: The Duke, (of course) Bob Duvall, Sam Elliott, Kevin Costner, Tom Selleck. All born in the wrong century, they're naturals for the Wild West, chock-full of testosterone and machismo.
@@usafvet100 My list: John Wayne, Ben Johnson, Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer, Sam Elliot, Tom Selleck, Keith Carradine, Lee Marvin, Clint Eastwood, Robert Duvall, Terence Hill.
i agree with "unforgiven" but will counter your hand with another five contemporary-ish-ish westerns 5. tombstone 4. lonesome dove 3. pale rider 2.the good the bad and the ugly 1. outlaw josey whales
I'll always believe the unedited 145 minute version of The Wild Bunch is the best western ever. Three underrated very good westerns IMO are Ride the High Country, The Culpepper Cattle Company, and Will Penny.
I like Bone Tomahawk as something different. I am not sure I would call Jesse James a Western, but it has some of the most spot-on period dialogue/diction I have ever heard. Sure, nothing much happens, but listening to the way they speak really transports you back 150 years.
If you go for these, including Bone Tomahawk, you gotta go for The VVitch to top this list, everything in it apart from the supernatural forces is historically accurate narration, and even the religious stuff is based on real beliefs and myths. My top 5: 1. Cold Mountain 2. Appaloosa 3. Hostiles 4. Slow West 5. Unforgiven
Unforgiven and Open Range. Two of the best westerns I've ever seen.
Unforgiven was the best.
William Money out of Missouri... One of the best scenes of any westerns.. I've seen it 50 times and it never ever gets old.. The pouring rain and darkness sets it up perfectly... Clint Eastwood and John Wayne are two of my favorite cowboys...
I think it was William Muny.
"Unforgiven" is one of the greatest movies ever - a perfect storm of talent, on every level.
You have sadly forgotten about "Tombstone"....easily one of the top five modern westerns. Kilmer's Doc Holiday is the icing on the cake.
still hate him for the Jim Morrison hit job from o.stoned! check out valley of violence if your a western fan like myself. yes kilmer was good in that, doc that is.
It was not true to fact.
@Charlie Montana Thanks for your reply Charlie. I agree.
@RW A Em what would you consider the opposite of that?
The best modern western!
Open Range is often overlooked, but has been one of my favorites. It's the character development and relationships coupled with the brilliance of the actors that make it special for me.
I thought it was very good. Robert Duvall is always great. One of the best actors ever and I think Annette Benning gave her best performance and Michael Jeter always added to any movie he was in.
The gunfight at the end of Open Range is simply one of the best ever filmed. Even better than the saloon gunfight in Unforgiven.
It was a very good western just not in my 10 best westerns. I enjoyed it a lot. Have watched it about 4 times and it was a very good shoot out.
Superb western, superb film in so many ways. The gunfight scene at the end one of the best ever.
alan Patrick Was that Kevin Costner playing Duvall’s sidekick ?
Open Range is absolutely phenomenal. That last 15 minutes is just incredible cinema.
@@williambodin5359 I think I counted like 15 shots, cuz he's holding the same gun from when he shoots the first guy until the end of the clip
I always watch it when it’s on
People keep talking about how many shots Charlie has in his six shooter if you would all pay attention you would see that they are different points of iview of the same scene so it's not 16 or 10 or even eight shots
The shootouts were so realistic because of the close range with so many misses.
Unforgiven best movie ever. A friend did not like it because there was no hero to root for. That is what makes it the best for me.
Absolutely
Tombstone is the one of those best western of all time.
Tostone
"One of....", fer sure... Check Lonesome Dove.
Open Range is right up there with the best modern westerns.
I agree with Lonesome Dove, It belongs on the list. Tombstone is one of the best if not the best of the modern era.

Umesh. Westerns are greatly different from era to era.
The wild bunch is not just one of the very best westerns ever made but one of the best films ever made.
Should be #1 on every list.
@@eltonyancey6426 A man after my own heart.
1960 Magnificent 7 is my personal favorite because of the cast.
Tombstone is my best western, Val Kilmer playing Doc Holiday is the epitome of a smooth badass
Agreed, although it isn't as historically accurate as they claimed. Even though it isn't a novel approach, of an inventive story, but I like the "good guys are GOOD, and the bad guys are BAD" of Silverado. All of these films are great. I also like the remake of the Mag. Seven, but you have to like anything with Denzel in it.
He can't hold a candle to Gene Hackman's badass characters even though Hackman is better at playing villains.
Among modern westerns, Unforgiven is a class of its own; it might be the best of all western movies of any time. Unforgiven is certainly in the top five western movies of all time.
Silverado and Tombstone must be included in this group.
Right?
Agree...
And the quick and the dead
Tombstone anyway
Tombstone for sure. V. Kilmer should have received an Oscar.
Open Range is a very modern western. One of the heroes has a 15-shot 6 shooter. Now that's what I call modern.
For me Unforgiven is the greatest modern western ever made only Clint could make a western and make it as deep as Hemingway's prose was.
A very good western indeed. Clint Eastwood played the tired old gunfighter.
@@kevinquinn3763 If you are into that, Unforgiven is great, but even better are Hostiles and The Missing.
Ain't a top 5 without Tombstone. .
Can’t get more modern (futuristic) than Cowboys and Aliens (2011). Underrated-
Those 6 shooters sure hold a lot of bullets in the movies!
Unforgiven and Tombstone are the top 2 but there are other great ones. 3:10 to Yuma was outstanding as was Wyatt Earp and Silverado. That's my top 5 of what I consider the modern era of the 80s to today.
That Unforgiven scene is one of the best in any movie, not just westerns, in my book.
Damn straight
It was fantastic. When he rode into town and we saw the whiskey bottle tossed into the puddle, I said, "Uh oh!"
Grow up. Then you know that it's High noon. All thow Rio Bravo is my personal favourite, but the rigth one in High noon.
I watched one called Old Henry recently and I quite enjoyed it. There was actual reloading after 6 shots.
Great movie and terrific gun play with reloads. Almost as good as watching Wick reload.
My Favorite 5: Silverado, Tombstone, Wyatt Earp, Unforgiven, The Wild Bunch (the original)
Those damn off-camera speed re-loads are the best.
Unforgiven is by far the best modern western! Period! No contest!
Open Range is a great film!
J'adore les westerns, toute ma jeunesse. Merci pour les films mis en ligne sur UA-cam
Appaloosa! A very good modern western! See it dudes!
I Completely Agree!!!! “The Wild Bunch” is by Far the Best!!,! A Brilliant Wicked Western!!!,!,
Lonesome Dove. For character development and story it can't be beat. Thousands of people throughout the United States make plans to watch it every year.
I totally agree!! Tombstone and Silverado need to replace a couple of those
The greatest,and most violent, "THE WILD BUNCH !!!"
" You just killed an unarmed man"........ " Well he should have armed himself" Bwahahaha.... Classic Eastwood
If by modern they mean after 1980 then Tombstone has to be #1. I liked Silverado though I know it was more of a homage to Westerns than a serious Western but I like the young Kevin Costner before he became so dour and Brian Dennehy was always a great villain.

One of the best things of any kind ever on broadcast television. I loved A Million Ways to Die in the West but I like Seth McFarlane and I like spoofs of things I like. I know some people don't. But no modern or newer Western is as good as Tombstone.
Unforgiven is so good. Right up there with The Searchers.
The wild buch the best forever
And Abhishek ! The Unforgiven did not make my top ten but The searchers did. It's all in opinion.
*Doc Holliday made Tombstone for me, I'm from Georgia too...*
A perfect part for Val Kilmer. The best.
Great choices if you have to choose five. I do like Tombstone though.
Each movie has scene or two that stays with you...some movies you are willing to watch anytime...unforgiven, tombstone, dances with wolves, 310 to yuma and i really enjoyed the missing.
Costner seems to have fired over 9 shots from a 6 round gun . Impressive.
Charlie was carrying TWO handguns
Best list I seen in years... totally agree every single of them..
From about 2:52 to about 3:11 Charlie Waite's "six-shooter" fired about 17 rounds. Now *that* would have been a nice weapon to have back in those days.

Both the true grits were good, and the newer one might be better, but John Wayne's performance in the original was spectacular.
Can't beat the original. The actors gave the characters more depth. The acting in the newer one wasn't quite as dynamic which is not only disappointing, but it seems to be the norm for a lot of recent movies.
@@kurtb8474 Right on.
TOMBSTONE not as modern as the others but simply one of the greatest westerns ever made
Thanks to Val Kilmer.
The remake of True Grit may not bad, but for me, John Wayne is Rooster Cogburn and he will remain so .
So True ... So True. Long live the Duke
Jesse James with Brad is a western that i love watching over and over again. My DVD is getting warn out. The Unforgiven is just a classic Eastwood film.
watch the westerns with clint eastwood they are good
Your forgot the wild bunch and shane two classics
Conagher is underrated and one of my favorites.
"Appaloosa" .... all day - Ed Harris & Viggo Mortensen

Not true. I’d argue “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford” is just as good as Unforgiven
Tombsone, Lonesome Dove, Rio Bravo, Unforgiven, Dances with Wolves, my best modern. Greatest Western Ever was The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. Other greats Winchester 73, Shane, High Noon and the Magnificent Seven. Different strokes for different folks.
I agree I also found Wyatt Earp wild bill and the quick and the dead to be entertaining westerns
MODERN my man, otherwise you'd be in the conversation
Why Johnny Ringo you look like someone just walked over your grave
Unforgiven.....absolute class, what a cast, and Clint is just.......Clint 👌
I'd pick Tombstone in place of True Grit, especially the remake.
I'm reading a lot of complaints. Y'all need to go to the start of the vid where it says ''MY'' top 5... They're all fine movies, good work man.
Thanks I appreciate all the comments defending the video I made when I was 12 hahah
@@SAMPLEFREEPRODUCTIONS Ha damn didnt realise it was that old, congrats for making it in the loop of recommendations
Unforgiven & Tombstone are easily 1 & 2 with 3 10 to Yuma right behind. True Grit was awesome too.
Unforgiven and josey wales no ifs and buts 1 and 2
Amend this list to add Hostiles. Great movie! Also, add Tombstone and Appaloosa!!
“No Country for Old Men” although not a western it has it’s DNA
love his 6 shooter that can fire 12 rounds all at once. but have watched movie 3-4 times and liked it.
He is wearing two pistols the other is a cross draw his left hand is resting on it
Now that’s some 6 shooter Charlie from Open Range is using in this gunfight scene. He let loose 15 shots one after the other.
Well….if he hadn't had the 15 shot revolver we would have been leaving the movie theatre after 20 minutes.
That man Kevin Costner got that extended mag on his revolver😂 so much for a six shooter
I believe he had one of those new, fancy 14 shooters!!!
He talks about doing that in the commentary.
gentlemen...best western ever made...The Outlaw Josey Wales. if it aint in the list...it aint a list!
phillip green This is a modern list dont u get it?MODERN
Okay bro
Come on Nelson. What about the spaghetti westerns by Sergio Leone. Like Once Upon a Time in the West. The Good the Bad and the Ugly. Superb.
As I get older I appreciate western movies more.
Kevin Costner is such a badass. Nobody else could shoot 11 rounds from a six gun.
I recently watched Old Henry with Tim Blake Nelson and not only does it rank up their as one of the best westerns I’ve ever seen but I liked the fact that he actually reloads after shooting multiple times. Unforgiven & Open Range rank right up there. Never seen the Assassination of Jesse James. As for True Grit there is only one True Grit in my opinion and that’s the John Wayne version.

Tim Blake Nelson was outstanding in 'The Ballad of Buster Scruggs'. The perfect combination of remorseless gun slinger and singing cowboy. And the Kid in Black puts me in mind of Ian McCullumn from Forgotten Weapons
I'd put Lonesome Dove instead of Jesse James. Gus McCree death scene is unforgettable.
3:10 3:10 to Yuma, the film that defined a totally new and independent appreciative slang for every person from the US in Cuba.
Unforgiven is no. 1 for me followed by Open Range
Once upon a time in the west ... best western movie ever!
Sergio Leone was one of the greatest directors of the 20th Century! I think the Good the Bad & the Ugly is a better pic than Once upon a Time in the West.
"For a few dollars more" still has the best final scene of any Western for me.
Underrated modern Western Movies:
1) The Quick and the Dead
2) Hostiles
3) The Missing
4) Bone Tomahawk
5) Quigley, down Under
I don't know if anyone will agree with me but my favorite Western of all time is Quigley Down Under the dialogue the action the acting and the music were all top notch in that movie
Great movie, it had the right amount of humor but was still bad ass. They definitely made a mistake in not doing another movie, maybe a Quigley Back West where he returns to the states.
Unforgiven / Outlaw Josey Wales/ Tombstone/ The Magnificent 7 (1960)/ The Shootist
The posting is for Top 5 MODERN Western Movies, and was posted approximately in 2013.
The good bad an ugly is my favorite
'The Good, Bad, and the Ugly' is a great film, but it belongs to a different era. This is for "Modern Westerns." 'The Good, Bad, and the Ugly' is a "Spaghetti Western."
Best western movie gunfight ever? Open Range. So visceral--so real.
Damn Costner’s Colt SAA Cavalry Model sure had a lot of rounds in it.
1. unforgiven
2. open range
3. tombstone
4.young guns
5 dances with wolves
mike....UNFORGIVEN and OPEN RANGE are two of my favorites. The best lines in both these movies was....you just shot an unarmed man, well he should have armed himself....The Unforgiven. Boss man I need to know your name....BlueBonnett and don’t you go on telling no one.....Open Range. There were very many great western made in the forties, fifties and sixties and also in the seventies, but these two stand out.
The Wild Bunch, that was the best I have ever seen, because it had the best actors for the job, and Sam Pekenpah did a lot of impro on the movie set
Tombstone is a great western
Not only is Tombstone a great western, it is many times better than 3:10 To Yuma. The original 3:10 is a tight, tense clock-watcher and the remake is like a woman wearing too much makeup. It's a silly Hollywood comic book with dynamite.
I liked Silverado quite a bit as well, it could sneak on to this list
No, just no. Even Costner hated it.
Respect your opinion, and I like Costner but I disagree with him. Silverado was better than 3:10 to Yuma. I’ve seen many, many westerns from all eras. They all have something I like.
Unforgiven is #1 period..!!
Open Range, Jesse James, and Unforgiven shot in Alberta, Canada.
What about The Undefeated?
I agree with your list.
Plus Tombstone, Young Guns I & II, Hostiles. There are many. But that's it.
All good movies in their own right but Tombstone has the most talented actors, best performances and best screenplay and music.
Some western magazine put Tombstone in the top five of all time! This guy probably hasn't seen it yet.
Unforgiven tha best western movie i ever see
Idk, If we are talking strictly Eastwood westerns, there are so many to choose from.The Ugly trilogy, Josey Wales, Pale Rider, High Plains Drifter, Hang um High, Two Mules for Sister Sara and Unforgiven. I'm sure I left one or two out but with that list I just mentioned, how can you pick which one is the best...haha.
1-Quigley Down Under
2-The Outlaw Josey Wales
3-True Grit (John Wayne)
4-Shane
5-Pale Rider
Might add The Stalking Moon with Gregory Peck and a young Robert Forster along with The Wild Bunch. But good list.
Totally agree with 3, 4, and 5. But where’s Tombstone?
@@maureentuohy8672 On its way to the classics with The Wild Bunch no doubt.
NO TOMBSTONE?? It is one of the most enjoyable, and more importantly, rewatchable movies out there. Good list, but that's an egregious omission. The only one on the list that is as enjoyable to rewatch repeatedly is The Unforgiven. My opinion, nothing more nothing less.
I’m in a western movie phase at the moment love all these but I have to say unforgiven is number 1
This is a great list but I think Tombstone with Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer is arguably the best western film ever made.
where can I find some of that acid!
John Ringo committed suicide and was leaning against a oak tree. Historians say he was manic Depressive.
Sorry scott, totally disagree better than "josey wales" "the good the bad & the ugly" open range" "the searchers" "shane" etc etc, nah, sorry but NO!
I do really like all five of these movies. However, Only Unforgiven and Open Range would be in my top five. Along with Tombstone, Appaloosa, And Lonesome Dove. However, I respect your choices, and True Grit would be number 6 for me. All a matter of preference.
However, they would all be in my top 10 favorite modern western movies.
I agree Appaloosa great with Ed Harris ! Tombstone the best of the modern era , Syriam falls with Liam neeson a good one as well
Thanks for mentioning Appaloosa.
1. Cold Mountain
2. Appaloosa
3. Hostiles
4. There Will Be Blood
5. Slow West
6. Ride With The Devil
7. The Missing
8. Unforgiven
9. Dead Man
10. Django Unchained
What? Why isn’t Tombstone on the list?
The greatest western of all time should be on its own list- Lonesome Dove. After that one, then you can do a top ten.
Quigley Down Under, The Man from Snowy River, Monte Walsh (Tom Selleck), Tombstone, Silverado, Unforgiven, Open Range.
That's a good list
@@usafvet100 Thank you. FWIW usaf vet, too.
@@hlynnkeith9334 Strategic Air Command, Peace Was Our Profession.
@@hlynnkeith9334 FWIW, short list of top notch oater actors: The Duke, (of course) Bob Duvall, Sam Elliott, Kevin Costner, Tom Selleck. All born in the wrong century, they're naturals for the Wild West, chock-full of testosterone and machismo.
@@usafvet100 My list: John Wayne, Ben Johnson, Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer, Sam Elliot, Tom Selleck, Keith Carradine, Lee Marvin, Clint Eastwood, Robert Duvall, Terence Hill.
i agree with "unforgiven"
but will counter your hand with another five contemporary-ish-ish westerns
5. tombstone
4. lonesome dove
3. pale rider
2.the good the bad and the ugly
1. outlaw josey whales
Kostner fires 9 shots in a row, fanned from his six gun after he had just fired about 5 shots with no break in the scene for reloading.
I'll always believe the unedited 145 minute version of The Wild Bunch is the best western ever.
Three underrated very good westerns IMO are Ride the High Country, The Culpepper Cattle Company, and Will Penny.
Lonesome Dove, Outlaw Josey Wales, True Grit(Wayne), Tombstone, Appaloosa
modern westerns so I'm guessing before 1990 so true grit (Wayne) and Outlaw Josey Wales wouldn't count as a modern western
@@gavinbrown353 westerns go back to very early 1900s...who says what year is modern. My favorites, thats all.
'modern'.. .
Great video, great picks, the shootouts in open Range and Unforgiven are my favorites. Thanks for sharing
I like Bone Tomahawk as something different. I am not sure I would call Jesse James a Western, but it has some of the most spot-on period dialogue/diction I have ever heard. Sure, nothing much happens, but listening to the way they speak really transports you back 150 years.
If you go for these, including Bone Tomahawk, you gotta go for The VVitch to top this list, everything in it apart from the supernatural forces is historically accurate narration, and even the religious stuff is based on real beliefs and myths.
My top 5:
1. Cold Mountain
2. Appaloosa
3. Hostiles
4. Slow West
5. Unforgiven
