Wrong order - Carradines were the Youngers. Sadly, Beau and the great Jeff Bridges had to decline the roles of the Ford brothers; played instead by Christopher and Nicholas Guest.
@@Mdebacle That guy was Al Mulock, who sadly committed suicide by jumping off his hotel balcony in Spain right after the filming of that iconic opening scene.
Yeah... My Name is Nobody is epic too... with that barber shop opening until Terence Hill catch that fish with a stick watched from distance by Henry Fonda... (and with that top music score of Ennio Morricone)... and until that explosion... There I would stop my clip 😉
MGM , Bond, James Bond central. 🤗 I know it’s not an MGM, but Silverado’s opening was fabulous (Columbia Pictures). Scott Glen does all the killing inside the shack and opens the door to that canyon vista. Great camera work. 😊
By far the best opening scene in a western was in The Searchers. John Wayne rides alone to the home he couldn't live in, with the beautiful Lorena score by Max Steiner, and shots in the distance of Monument Valley---all shot from inside the home of his brother and his long-ago love. The whole shot was framed in the doorway as his long-ago love opens the door. He rides in alone. And, then at the end of the film, he rides away alone, also framed in the doorway.
Just said the same thing. And he included the poor copycat of Seven Samurai -- it's opening scene is pure masterpiece filmmaking, as is the entire film. Ask Leone, Lucas and Spielberg all about it.
yeah...a miss on best of them all. Once upon A Time in the West... the ultimate iconic western opening scene. And had the greatest of all western quotes. Bronson ruled.. you bought two too many...
So, by now you must know that ELY Wallick is (was) also TUCO in the GB&U. Si. I met him while living on 58th street in NYC. I told him how much I loved his Mexican persona and he said they wanted to make a sequel of the GB&U. And I added, no can due because Angel Eyes (Lee Van Cleff) had passed on.
There is a Mexican restaurant called Tucos in Sudbury Ontario with a big mural of his face. That character made a lasting impression on many, it seems.
You got all the great ones except for one: John Wayne's opening in "Big Jake". I hope you check it out. You'll change your top 10 for sure once you do. Thanks for the great collection.
I understand that this video was about great opening scenes, and they are. However, for me, as good as the opening scene in "The Magnificent Seven" is, as it establishes the villainy of Calvera, but, for me, one of the stand out scenes in the film is when Brynner and McQueen's characters take the coffin up to Boot Hill.
The best movie of the bunch, most people have never heard of; "Chato's Land" with Charles Bronson and just about every other great actor from the day. They messed with Charles Bronson and you don't mess with Charles Bronson.
the first major defeat of the Japanese in WWII was well before the marines had left the US. Australian soldiers gained that honour when they stopped, then drove the Japanese army back across the mountainous Owen Stanley Ranges in New Guinea
I never liked western shows or movies. But now that I think of it, can you imagine living in a place as huge as the west without the fed govt breathing down your neck 24/7 with spies? No trash lying around from homieless people.... no cars swerving in front of you carelessly.... no socialites leeching off the world just because they were born rich and pretty in an Internet world... you give up a lot but boy, you get a lot, too! Goin back to 1822, ya'll! Who's with me? heheheheh Cuz this town ain't big enough for the 8 BILLION OF US.
@@BluesmanDizzy Even westerns made in Italy are supposed to be happening in the old west of the US and sometimes Mexico or some disputed territory in between, but never Australia. Don't get me wrong, I thought the movie was good but as Quigley states at the end of the film... "This ain't Dodge City and you ain't Bill Kickok" ...insinuated that Australia is not the wild west of the United States. The American Film Institute defines Western films as those "set in the American West that [embody] the spirit, the struggle, and the demise of the new frontier" ...
@@FishHeadSalad I saw that coming from miles away, haha. Agreed, if we go by the book, you are right. But I can't shake the western feel Selleck puts into it. Would have loved to see him do a sequel on American soil. 😉

Some great stuff there! My favorite: Eli Wallach as Calvera and as Tuco Ramirez. Unforgettable! He's the ultimate Mexican bandit of all time.
Excellent actor.
I believe he learned to ride a horse on set.
He added the neck lanyard to gunslinger vernacular.
Very difficult to hate him!
Drops his accent a bit though if you listen to him
That was fun. Lee Van Cleef. Those eyes. Fun seeing Eastwood and Wallach so young. And the Quaid brothers, too.
High Noon
Amazing how the train stopped exactly at the horse ramp!
Got it going again right quick too.
Luck.
Skill . . .
All the times I've watched that movie, I never noticed that before.
You are all wet Dreamers
lee van cleef is the best thing that ever happened to Clint Eastwood those eyes and that stare he was a great actor
"I did get off - thanks". Classic LVC
YOu left out the best one , Once Upon a Time in the West
Absolutely, true!
You brought two too many
Yeah....that opening is epic.
I would have left the same comment! ... But you beat me to it..
He's right you know😊
Clint Eastwood the greatest ever man what a legend period
Music and sound are often overlooked. They are so important.
"Long Riders" had a great hook. The Keaches, Quaids, and Carradines as the Jameses, Youngers, and Millers
Wrong order - Carradines were the Youngers. Sadly, Beau and the great Jeff Bridges had to decline the roles of the Ford brothers; played instead by Christopher and Nicholas Guest.
Once upon a time in the west has the best opening scene and My name is nobody has got a great one, too.
That harmonica sets the tone so quickly.
That guy on the left in GB&U was also at the start of Once Upon a Time. It was a superb beginning.
@@Mdebacle That guy was Al Mulock, who sadly committed suicide by jumping off his hotel balcony in Spain right after the filming of that iconic opening scene.
absolutely right

Lee Van Cleef hat is beautiful! I want it!
Perhaps you can try and take it
The Magnificent Seven intro: *"I'll be back!"*
Who knew the terminator wasn't its author? But Arnold really did that line justice!
MGM , Bond, James Bond central. 🤗
I know it’s not an MGM, but Silverado’s opening was fabulous (Columbia Pictures). Scott Glen does all the killing inside the shack and opens the door to that canyon vista. Great camera work. 😊
Agreed. In spades. That's Lawrence Kasdan producing and directing. and writing with his brother, Mark.
Great cast great movie
For years, "The Magnificent Seven" (1960) was my favorite western. Until I saw "Silverado". That is now my favorite western with "Seven" second place.
100% one of the best.
Lee Van Cliff has coolest face in the western movies
That's why we call him ....Sir Lee van cleef❤❤❤
Iconic iconic iconic!!!
Strong believer in Lee van Cleef!!

One can learn a lot about how to make a movie scene by watching this.😃
5:59 Bronson looked dangerous without even trying
And quite pretty in those tights
Too bad the pistol angle looks like it took out the sheriff's ankle.
@@morganeaton3812VERISSIMO 😱😱🤨🤨😂😂

Colonel Mortimer.

Happy 100th anniversary, mgm!

@@jamieimai9328keep up the amazing and great work & keep on roaring, yeah! Happy birthday!
Often overlooked, the opening of 'Silverado' was pretty iconic.
'I'll be back !' .... The Magnificent Seven. Who knew .... ??!!
Searched for this comment! Great find, isn't it?
Who knew the terminator wasn't it's author? But Arnold really did that line justice!
"For a few Dollars More"... it's not as if the stops are many. I can't believe ANY train would pass any station without stopping.
What a fun ! The strangers are rich of langage : they all speak english, only english ... 😊
I was waiting for Once Upon a Time in the West...
Me too !!
Yeah, this list fails without it.
Thats from Paramount
I found out I really like old westerns.
Iconic Western is the goodest western on MGM
GREAT stuff! Thank you!
Tuco is a legend, the only bad guy that everybody loves...................except Angel Eyes of course!
So, by now you must know that ELY Wallick is (was) also TUCO in the GB&U. Si. I met him while living on 58th street in NYC. I told him how much I loved his Mexican persona and he said they wanted to make a sequel of the GB&U. And I added, no can due because Angel Eyes (Lee Van Cleff) had passed on.

0:33 Before the word *makeup* was ever used in a Western, the original title was *The Good, the Bad* 😂
The sad and lonely demise of Rowdy Yates😢!
"This train will stop at Tucumcari."
"I did get off"
Bests lines ever !!
One of the best actors ever !!!!
R.I.P L.V.C🕊
Love Lee van clean and Clint Eastwood the best ,how ever loved the shootout in Shane
"Once Upon A Time In The West". Maybe too long for this. Then the ones shown here. Charles Bronson is my favourite.
"I KNOW WE TOOK IT ANYWAY!" 😂😂😂😂
Longriders was a great movie!
Iconic Western openings capture the Wild West spirit, setting the stage for epic tales and timeless heroism
Yeah Eli Wallach has got to be like the best bad guys in Indian Western band my favorite anyway
These are movies produced by MGM. Paramount produced “Once Upon a Time in the West.

However, for me, as good as the opening scene in "The Magnificent Seven" is, as it establishes the villainy of Calvera, but, for me, one of the stand out scenes in the film is when Brynner and McQueen's characters take the coffin up to Boot Hill.
But this video is about opening scenes.
@@TheBatugan77 And I addressed that. I was just mentioning a favorite scene of mine.
the Long Riders was unique because of the brothers involved ... Quaids , Carradine ,etc...
You're short at least one scene; The opening scene from Silverado is one of the most iconic of any western. I expected to see it here.
If those are the best, it doesn't say much.
Fistful of dollars has left the chat
In The Long Riders it was interesting that there were 2 brother pair: Randy and Dennis Quaid and Stacy and James Keach
Once upon a Time is my favorite date western
RIP Clint Eastwood. What an amazing career. Edit: inaccurate. I was taken in by a false report. His amazing career continues
hes still alive though
@@henrybierman8431 I'm so glad to hear that. I was taken in by and false report. I've edited my comment thank you very much
Still going strong in Feb 2024... His long time stunt double passed away a few months ago though... he was 92.
@@BigT2664My bad. I fell prey to a false report.
Funny that locomotive looks very European, Italian, maybe. Great movie.
Spanish. Sergio Leone filmed most of the scenes of his iconic westerns there.
The best movie of the bunch, most people have never heard of; "Chato's Land" with Charles Bronson and just about every other great actor from the day. They messed with Charles Bronson and you don't mess with Charles Bronson.
Where is the opening scene for "The Searchers"?
I always forget that Tucco is the head bandit.😅
Anyone who's ever been to Tucamcari, NM (TooCumCarry), can see through the train car's window that they are nowhere near that frontier town.
You got to give extreme credit to the editor. Back then youu only had one chance
How do you not have High Plains Drifter
the first major defeat of the Japanese in WWII was well before the marines had left the US. Australian soldiers gained that honour when they stopped, then drove the Japanese army back across the mountainous Owen Stanley Ranges in New Guinea
4:19 Depth Charge - Bounty Killer
Epic wide angle camera frame❤❤❤
Blazing Saddles
11:38 Skipper????? Is that YOU????
The best is the opening scene from The Wild Bunch
Mr Goldwyn of MGM is now known as "Jerome Michael Rogan"
You and I define "iconic" differently.
To each his own. But I have the same opinion on most lists.
My opinion counts.
lol
The greatest beginning and ending in westerns are the set piece acts of violence in The Wild Bunch
I liked the opening on "Seven Samurai" better than on "Magnificent Seven"
Haven't seen "Mag7", but i would wager i would like "Seven Samurai" better.
Many more missing... decent collage tho...I did like sabata being put in.
After John Wayne, Eastwood was the best cardboard cutout ever to perform as an actor.
You mean you didn't buy Wayne as Genghis Khan?.....lol
Nice to see Quigley Down Under getting some respect. But Tombstone and Once Upon a Time in the West were both snubbed!
12:00 why is the skipper in a wetsern movie
The opening scene from the Wild Bunch should have been here much better than the The Long Riders
Agreed 100%
I never liked western shows or movies. But now that I think of it, can you imagine living in a place as huge as the west without the fed govt breathing down your neck 24/7 with spies?

3:57 the guard boards an isolated car - where's he gonna go?
I live in Italy and these guys look like my neighbors.
You missed the best one Once Upon A Time In The West.
My mule thinks your laughing at him,so if you apologize......
I will assume that Once Upon a Time in the West was too good for this list, and had its own video.
Tom Selleck was a TV cowboy.
Once Upon A Time In The West was released by Paramount.
Why is Quigley Down Under on here? The title pretty much speaks for itself. It is not Quigley Out West.
One of the best westerns ever, no matter the setting .
@@BluesmanDizzy Even westerns made in Italy are supposed to be happening in the old west of the US and sometimes Mexico or some disputed territory in between, but never Australia. Don't get me wrong, I thought the movie was good but as Quigley states at the end of the film...

What name of this films???
It says at the bottom
Why did they leave out Sam Peckenpa's "The Wild Bunch""
The wild bunch
