Those two plus Unforgiven, True Grit (1969), Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Grey Fox, and the present-day Western homage, Lonely Are the Brave.
Yeah, I can't take any western list seriously that doesn't have either Unforgiven, Pale Rider, or Tombstone on it, especially when the list has Lone Ranger.
The 1960s were THE decade of the Westerns: - The Magnificent Seven (1960) - One-Eyed Jacks (1961) - The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) - A Fistful of Dollars (1964) - For a Few Dollars More (1965) - The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) - Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) - Hang’em High (1968) - The Wild Bunch (1969) - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)
Go away you silly silly person. :) There is a Plethora of much better films. But not I guess, with a singing bush and an invisible swordsman and the best campfire song ever.
The original True Grit and the remake are both definitely worth watching. And if we consider No Country For Okd Men a modern western than that’s among the best too.
These aren't the "Only" westerns worth watching according to Tarantino - if you go to the Spaghetti Western Database there's a whole Top 20 list of his favourite Italian westerns, plus a pile of honourable mentions. Tarantino is a bonafide movie nerd and has a ton of great choices.
@@Me-gy7yk I’ve never heard Tarantino say he hates John Ford. I can’t recall him being disparaging of his films. He’s been critical of aspects but to say that he’s ignorant of Mr. Ford and his work simply isn’t true.
@@Menapho i've never heard him say it but i've read interviews where he says it... “One of my American Western heroes is not John Ford, obviously,” Tarantino famously declared in an interview with Henry Louis Gates. “To say the least, I hate him." He also stated: “Ford’s photography has always been overrated in my estimation.”
The searchers, Unforgiven. True Grit 1 and 2, Once upon a time in the west, Will Penny, 3:10 to Yuma, Tombstone, lonely are the brave, no country for old men- the list goes on and on….
Amazed that NOBODY in the comments (that I've seen anyway.?..) OR Q.T mentioned "The Long Riders" by Walter Hill (The Warriors...among other great films!) The Keach, Carradine, Quaid and Guest brothers ALL play the brothers in real life. Bob and Charlie Ford (Guest) , Jesse and Frank (Keach) The Youngers (Carradine's) and the Miller's (Quaids). Truly EPIC casting. And an amazing movie. The Northfield Raid shootout scene is absolutely legendary. My all time favorite western...by a wide margin.
The Outlaw Josie Wales, The Unforgiven, The Gunfighter, High Noon, MacKenna's Gold, High Plains Drifter are just a few of the westerns I would have included. There are many more worth watching also.
He has a list of his 20 favorite Spaghetti Westerns so probably more than 10. Not to mention he recommends Unforgiven, A Man Called Horse, Near Dark etc.
I watched 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly' a few years ago, I don't even particularly like Westerns, but I have to admit that movie was superb. It didn't feel like 3 hours at all. Definitely in my top 10 of all time.
So many overlooked movies. The Outlaw Josie Whales, Once upon a time in the west, Silverado, Shane, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid.........so many overlooked.
Pretty hilarious to see The Hellbenders and Navajo Joe on the list. I don't believe for one minute that these are the only Westerns Tarantino thinks are worth watching, and I don't believe for a minute he thinks The Hellbenders is even close to any of the Leone westerns, or the John Ford westerns, or Anthony Mann westerns, or ...
A lot of interesting choices on his list. I do agree the 2013 remake of The Lone Ranger is underrated. The train chase at the end of the movie was incredible.
Liberty Valance is probably the best 'thinking mans western', High Noon and Shane offer entertainment plus meaning and the Eastwoods are just silly fun
Before I watch this I'm gonna think up my own top 10 and then see how it matches Quentin's. The Wild Bunch The Outlaw Josey Wales The Good, The Bad & The Ugly The Unforgiven The Searchers True Grit (EITHER version) Once Upon A Time In The West How The West Was Won From Noon 'Til Three (wild card, I just love it)
Swap out From Noon Til Three for Tombstone if I'm being serious about this I guess... and Magnificent 7 is a shoe-in for a close 11th along with Two Mules For Sister Sara. I love The Quick And The Dead and the Young Guns films but they don't have the gravitas of true classics; both seem to be trading on their casting more than anything else.
Should have just called it "Tarantino's Favorite Westerns". Rio Bravo is probably my favorite western. I loved Enzo Barboni's Trinity movies as well, but I can see why they might not be considered in a 'best' kind of category.
That’s awesome that Q liked Gore’s take on The Lone Ranger. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and was surprised that it didn’t do well. Not sure I would have put it in my Top 10 Westerns though.
Of course as usual Tarantino offers what a lot of people missed... AND he's wrong about them being the "only Westerns actually worth seeing". Typical, because he's sharp enough to be unusual and educational and to get hooked on his own intellect enough to become sloppily opinionated. No matter what way people go with stylistic or realistic, there is no denying that "Unforgiven" is absolutely fantastic. I loved the revealing nature of it, when you know "ahhh yeah that's more like life, and the way humans usually end up doing things" because of how many characters are just so worn out from that hard life, ignorance from being at such an outpost (and the time), that are very full of sh-t. The character arcs are great, how exaggeration brought a lot of what we though we "knew" about the wild West to us, yet some people actually WERE that bad, and yet nearly all of them have their reasons. We don't even know what happened to make William Munny the way he was, but there's the wonder between nature and nurture, never figured out which is once again... accurate. "Once upon a time in the West" is also worth seeing, without doubt. There are others, but I'd agree with Quentin if he just thought too many Westerns (and other movies) are loved which are actually lame or dorky. I like the stuff Tarantino likes quite often, and though he enjoys stuff that has a realistic feel to it now and then, he's just too... well this is kind of obvious, but "video rental guy" movie moment worship for my taste full-time. It's always about what's cool for a moment, stitched together. That's too much of being a customer rather than being immersed in a story, for me. I get that it makes movies fun and make money and blah blah... but it ruins it when others want to make films that completely take you away. I always know I'm in a theater or watching my TV and can stop to get some food or take a piss during Quentin's films and his favorites. Not so for some of MY favorites. Yes he got better like any great film maker-- "Once upon a time in Hollywood" kept me still for quite a while, but where his style came from -- worship of cool -- usually shows though in almost everything. else. Like any art, film can be for each of us to like and hate at our own pace and taste, so I'm prepared for the backlash (and I won't be back so don't waste your time if just to repair your worship and defend Tarantino-- I AM a fan of his, just not a disciple). I'm just repeating what I said many years ago about his opinion because it's relevant here. It's not all about him, and other films ARE worth seeing.
Stagecoach, My Darling Clementine, Red River, Shane, The Ox-bow Incident, The Gunfighter, The Searchers, High Noon, Blazing Saddles, Destry Rides Again, Way Out West. QT is a one note samba.
Just like a fair number of Quentin’s actual movies, this list went off the rails fast. No mention of Tombstone, The Quick and the Dead, Unforgiven, both versions of The Magnificent Seven, 3:10 to Yuma, Hell or High Water (if we’re considering modern Western movies), and quite honestly Tombstone again…it should make the list twice.
As well as those already mentioned as missing, I would add High Noon, Shane, The Gunfighter. However, this top 10 list has to include Unforgiven and Once apon a time in the West.
These may have been 10 Westerns he has commented on, but there is no way this is his definitive “only westerns that matter” list. In his book, Cinema Speculation, he easily references more Westerns than this.
10 Westerns worth watching : The Searchers (1956) The Good, the Bad & the Ugly (1966) Rio Bravo (1959) Hombre (1967) The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) A Fistful of Dollars (1964) They Call Me Trinity (1970) For a Few Dollars More (1965) High Plains Drifter (1973)
Tarantino is on record as praising these, but what's the source for him supposedly saying these are the only 10 westerns worth watching? Need to cite the source, if there actually is one.
i kind of liked pat garrett and billie the kid. plus, that movie was one of the very few out of hollywood where the writers remained true to historical facts. and bob dylan's singing wasn't too bad either. (i won't mention his acting.)
Quentin Tarantino is a nut case. He doesn't have any of the classics Spaghetti or other brilliant westerns listed? WTF. Not just Clint Eastwood in these movies but many other great actors. Just to name a few that are in the top westerns movies ever: Unforgiven, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Once upon a Time in the West, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, etc. I could go on. I will say that the original Django was a great hidden gem western.
The director's cut of Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid is the best western of all time, other missing gems are Johnny Guitar, One Eyed Jack and the second best western of them all... Showgirls, basically the man with no name, but with a woman
These were obviously some of the films that left an impression on Tarantino at the time of his life when he saw them. Don't get me wrong. I highly regard Tarantino's work. I watch his films again and again. But I really don't care about his opinion on other films. He has a style of film that he likes which really doesn't speak to quality or lack thereof.
Not so sure Tarantino actually compiled this list, I think these are just movies he has singled out for praise in the past. He certainly enjoyed 2013's The Lone Ranger, but I doubt he's placing it higher than Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid. These films listed here are films he hopes people discover and enjoy.
I think Quinton is being too artsy here. High Plains Drifter and Outlaw Jose Wales are both masterpieces as is Tombstone. All three of those are much better than most movies on his list.
Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid. My Darling Clementine. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Dodge City. Once Upon A Time In The West. Vera Cruz. High Noon. Unforgiven. Treasure Of Sierra Madre. The Great Silence. Fort Apache. The Gunfighter. The Searchers. Seven Men From Now. The Magnificent Seven.
OK there are a few good films on his list but only 1 Hawks and 1 Mann? I ask you WHERE OH WHERE IS JOHN FORD, arguably the best ever director of westerns??? Huh?? And no Boettichers, no Langs, no Rays and no Fullers?? Quentin needs to see an optometrist ASAP
QT respects Ford, but thinks he was restrained by the era he worked in. Same goes for Hitchcock. That's why he prefers the cinema of the 60s and 70s with their more graphic imagery
@@mongolianqwerty123 Interesting! And i can see your point after watching a few of his films. Just not my taste, I guess. Ford's westerns are certainly visually sublime. Guess that doesn't count for a lot according to QT.
The title does end with “according to Tarantino” yes? I’m willing to bet that he’s scene more westerns (possibly every) than any of us. I know for a fact that he’s seen John Ford’s films. As well as the others you mention. If he needs an optometrist it’s to save his eyes from watching too many movies. The reason I watch vids on what great directors have on their best list. Is to hear and see their individually unique perspectives on what made them love the films they’ve selected. And I get to discover and continue to learn. I mean isn’t that the reason to watch them.
@@Menapho I certainly understand we all have our own opinions but his list is still a joke. IMO of course. He should have said something like "My favorite westerns are..." To say "the only westerns worth watching" is too much ego and arrogance for me to sit idly by.
@@willieluncheonette5843 I don’t know that’s what he said. Do you? There are favorites of mine missing from his list, such as Barbara Stanwyck in The Furries. But I’ll give 40 Guns a look. You are of course entitled to your opinion. It’s obviously not a joke to Quentin.
I've been saying it for years. I guess i'm going to have to sale everything and do it myself. I want a war of 1812 movie. Made like the revenant or Lincoln.
I don’t believe that list, which doesn’t make sense to me. However, Tarantino’s beef with the greatest of them all, John Ford, would disqualify him from this debate in the minds of many.
There is couple funny westerns called "Sabata" And Sergio Corbucci`s "Il Mercenario". They aint silly funny ,if thats what you worried about.. Dont skip these two!
While these are great choices, the lack of Red River, The Searchers, Once Upon a Time in the West, and No Country for Old Men, makes Tarantino's list a bit too hipster. Thankfully he did included Winchester73.
The Searchers? Any of the Costner offerings? Several More John Wayne movies. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid? Lone Ranger was okay but not a top ten.
There's no way Tarantino said there are only 10 Westerns actually worth watching. Ridiculous.
@@XploitationRR I’m with you. Is that what he actually said. A guy who worked in a video store and made suggestions for hundreds, of people.
I heartily agree. Very silly.
"MY NAME IS NOBODY" is #1! No doubt about it! Watch it and see!

@@buzzwaldron6195 gonna give it a go let ya know

The Man of The West (1958), Johnny Guitar (1954), Shane (1953), Mackenna's Gold (1969), The Wild Bunch (1969)
Missed:
"Unforgiven"
"The Searchers"
"Once upon a time in the West"
"Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid"

Yeah, I can't take any western list seriously that doesn't have either Unforgiven, Pale Rider, or Tombstone on it, especially when the list has Lone Ranger.

The original True Grit and the remake are both definitely worth watching. And if we consider No Country For Okd Men a modern western than that’s among the best too.
I gotta say I’ve seen both and I have to give it to Jeff Bridges over the Duke,great reboot!
Appaloosa is a hundred times better than lone ranger. If he needs a more modern one on the list.

glad he included The Lone Ranger. I loved that movie. Can't imagine why it wasn't more successful at the box office. very entertaining
because it was dumb
Universally panned when it was released. 31% on RT.
Liberty valance …..Shane……magnificent 7
true grit (both versions)
As Tarantino hates John Ford, and showed himself to be completely ignorant of the man and his work, his opinion on westerns matters not a jot to me.
I always got a chuckle that a man from Cape Elizabeth Maine was the greatest western director ever.
@@Me-gy7yk I’ve never heard Tarantino say he hates John Ford. I can’t recall him being disparaging of his films. He’s been critical of aspects but to say that he’s ignorant of Mr. Ford and his work simply isn’t true.

These are not the only westerns worth watching. Try 'The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance', 'Unforgiven', 'True Grit'(2010), 'High Plains Drifter'.
Open Range and The Unforgiven are the best and they aren’t even on his list.
He has a list of his 20 favorite Spaghetti Westerns so probably more than 10. Not to mention he recommends Unforgiven, A Man Called Horse, Near Dark etc.
The Great Silence is one of his favorites

I watched 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly' a few years ago, I don't even particularly like Westerns, but I have to admit that movie was superb. It didn't feel like 3 hours at all. Definitely in my top 10 of all time.
Leone was way way ahead of his time.
I'd throw in a lot more. For example: Chato's Land, Once Upon a Time in the West, Duel at Diablo, Lawman, The Hanging Tree, The Hunting Party...
Winchester 73: best Western ever!
The original magnificent seven, a fistful of dollars, a few dollars more, and the good the bad and the ugly are at the top of any western list
So many overlooked movies. The Outlaw Josie Whales, Once upon a time in the west, Silverado, Shane, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid.........so many overlooked.
The Searchers? Possibly the classic western of all time.

The fact that Unforgiven isn't on here and The Lone Ranger is seems crazy to me. Check out The Great Silence if you haven't seen it already.
Duel in the Sun with Gregory Peck best western ever made, opening scene at the bar is magnificent !

OK there are a few good films on his list but only 1 Hawks and 1 Mann? I ask you WHERE OH WHERE IS JOHN FORD, arguably the best ever director of westerns??? Huh?? And no Boettichers, no Langs, no Rays and no Fullers?? Quentin needs to see an optometrist ASAP
QT respects Ford, but thinks he was restrained by the era he worked in. Same goes for Hitchcock. That's why he prefers the cinema of the 60s and 70s with their more graphic imagery
@@mongolianqwerty123 Interesting! And i can see your point after watching a few of his films. Just not my taste, I guess. Ford's westerns are certainly visually sublime. Guess that doesn't count for a lot according to QT.
The title does end with “according to Tarantino” yes? I’m willing to bet that he’s scene more westerns (possibly every) than any of us. I know for a fact that he’s seen John Ford’s films. As well as the others you mention. If he needs an optometrist it’s to save his eyes from watching too many movies.
The reason I watch vids on what great directors have on their best list. Is to hear and see their individually unique perspectives on what made them love the films they’ve selected. And I get to discover and continue to learn. I mean isn’t that the reason to watch them.
@@Menapho I certainly understand we all have our own opinions but his list is still a joke. IMO of course. He should have said something like "My favorite westerns are..." To say "the only westerns worth watching" is too much ego and arrogance for me to sit idly by.
@@willieluncheonette5843 I don’t know that’s what he said. Do you? There are favorites of mine missing from his list, such as Barbara Stanwyck in The Furries. But I’ll give 40 Guns a look. You are of course entitled to your opinion. It’s obviously not a joke to Quentin.
I've been saying it for years. I guess i'm going to have to sale everything and do it myself. I want a war of 1812 movie. Made like the revenant or Lincoln.
The Buccaneer
@@dmathis01 seen it. I'm taling about todays time.
Lone Ranger is the epic movie!!!!! One of the best all time.
I don’t believe that list, which doesn’t make sense to me. However, Tarantino’s beef with the greatest of them all, John Ford, would disqualify him from this debate in the minds of many.
Obviously unpopular opinion: The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford
No accounting for taste.
The best to say about this list is that his own western Django unchained isn’t mentioned. Worse western is hard to find.😂😂😂
There is couple funny westerns called "Sabata" And Sergio Corbucci`s "Il Mercenario".
They aint silly funny ,if thats what you worried about.. Dont skip these two!
Its a new-ish film but "The Harder they Fall" was worth watching and a good gun slingin film, check it out.
I was going to add that and just saw your comment, really liked that movie, amazing performances by all actors and great music too,
No, the Cowboys with John Wayne?
Honestly, you can skip most of John Wayne's westerns. Unless you like the fantasized version of the cowboy persona.
any John Wayne western😊
Old Henry
Hombre,Warlock, True Grit (Wayne).
The Big Gundown is another great film.
In what universe exactly does the Lone Ranger (2013) belong on a list with the Wild Bunch and the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly?!?!?!
Plus "MY NAME IS NOBODY" is #1! No doubt about it! Watch it and see! It has EVERYTHING!
Dances with Wolves???
I refuse to believe Tarantino was talking about the 2013 movie
While these are great choices, the lack of Red River, The Searchers, Once Upon a Time in the West, and No Country for Old Men, makes Tarantino's list a bit too hipster. Thankfully he did included Winchester73.
The Searchers? Any of the Costner offerings? Several More John Wayne movies. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid? Lone Ranger was okay but not a top ten.
