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!
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
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😊
That was fun. Lee Van Cleef. Those eyes. Fun seeing Eastwood and Wallach so young. And the Quaid brothers, too.
yes ,great scenes ,iconic stuff , another era etc
"When it's time to shoot, shoot don't talk" -Tuco the Rat
Strong believer in Lee van Cleef!!
Thank you for sharing with us!
Clint Eastwood the greatest ever man what a legend period
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
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 😉
Lee Van Cliff has coolest face in the western movies
5:59 Bronson looked dangerous without even trying
And quite pretty in those tights
GREAT stuff! Thank you!
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...
Lee Van Cleef hat is beautiful! I want it!
Perhaps you can try and take it
One can learn a lot about how to make a movie scene by watching this.😃
The Magnificent Seven intro: *"I'll be back!"*
Who knew the terminator wasn't its author? But Arnold really did that line justice!
Tuco! Angel eyes, and Blondie
Colonel Mortimer.
Colonel Douglas Mortimer.... A brave man...
@@celebmukupe7131 are you thirsty Blondie? Do you need some water?😭
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.
Love the western ❤❤ movie 🍿
Iconic iconic iconic!!!
I was waiting for Once Upon a Time in the West...
Me too !!
Yeah, this list fails without it.
Thats from Paramount
"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.
Love Lee van clean and Clint Eastwood the best ,how ever loved the shootout in Shane
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
Fistful of dollars has left the chat
Tuco is a legend, the only bad guy that everybody loves...................except Angel Eyes of course!
'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!
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.
Music and sound are often overlooked. They are so important.
"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.
12:23 "And you've got a bill of sale to prove it little buddy!"
Mr Goldwyn of MGM is now known as "Jerome Michael Rogan"
Once upon a time in the west has the best opening scene!
Happy 100th anniversary, mgm!
Here’s to another 100 years!
@@jamieimai9328keep up the amazing and great work & keep on roaring, yeah! Happy birthday!
"I KNOW WE TOOK IT ANYWAY!" 😂😂😂😂
Longriders was a great movie!
0:33 Before the word *makeup* was ever used in a Western, the original title was *The Good, the Bad* 😂
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.
Gracias por la informacciones amigo.@@TY-kc3st
the Long Riders was unique because of the brothers involved ... Quaids , Carradine ,etc...
I found out I really like old westerns.
Iconic Western is the goodest western on MGM
4:19 Depth Charge - Bounty Killer
Yeah Eli Wallach has got to be like the best bad guys in Indian Western band my favorite anyway
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.
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 sad and lonely demise of Rowdy Yates😢!
"Once Upon A Time In The West". Maybe too long for this. Then the ones shown here. Charles Bronson is my favourite.
You and I define "iconic" differently.
To each his own. But I have the same opinion on most lists.
My opinion counts.
Funny that locomotive looks very European, Italian, maybe. Great movie.
Spanish. Sergio Leone filmed most of the scenes of his iconic westerns there.
My mule thinks your laughing at him,so if you apologize......
Epic wide angle camera frame❤❤❤
Yeah! Back when Hollywood made movies the people wanted to see. So unlike HollyWOKE does now!
Blazing Saddles
Where is the opening scene for "The Searchers"?
You got to give extreme credit to the editor. Back then youu only had one chance
The wild bunch
Nearly
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.
But this video is about opening scenes.
@@TheBatugan77 And I addressed that. I was just mentioning a favorite scene of mine.
Lee van Cleef csak ennyit szólt hej, hej hejhej!
I live in Italy and these guys look like my neighbors.
Yep, Silverado
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.
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
When Charles Bronson tells you to back off, you back off.
I will assume that Once Upon a Time in the West was too good for this list, and had its own video.
The opening scene from the Wild Bunch should have been here much better than the The Long Riders
Agreed 100%
The greatest beginning and ending in westerns are the set piece acts of violence in The Wild Bunch
👍
Silverado and Big Jake!
'What,no duck you sucker*?*
3:57 the guard boards an isolated car - where's he gonna go?
Many more missing... decent collage tho...I did like sabata being put in.
The Wild Bunch
That's from Warner Bros.
Ah! To bad Hang’m high could not of continued
What name of this films???
It says at the bottom
High Plains Drifter
12:00 why is the skipper in a wetsern movie
High plains drifter too
Or pale rider
Loved this! Forget Taylor Swift, Listen to Condition of the Heart by Prince to hear of Clara Bow ;-)
Nice to see Quigley Down Under getting some respect. But Tombstone and Once Upon a Time in the West were both snubbed!
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...
"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. 😉
@@BluesmanDizzy I can't argue that! A sequel was in order.
Once Upon A Time In The West was released by Paramount.
...everyone is angry and it seems like life wasn't happy
+Silverado
Any compilation of "iconic" opening scenes for Westerns that doesn't include Silverado is second rate.
A movie that was so bad that at times the audience was laughing----at it.
talk about dueling eyebrows!
Death Rides a Horse had a good opening scene 2
Si super mgmayer
Same set used in tombstone
Once upon a time in the west shouldn't even be considered a western
This is the way Spaghetti Wood wants people to see history and the world. These films were chances for many actors to start a career. And the world got dumber with every film.
What about The Wild Bunch?
Well. I'm glad to see that people used washing machines and went to the dry cleaners back in the wild west days. Wouldn't want anyone to be walking around with dirty clothes and boots now would we. 😂
Cahill US Marshal had good opening scene 2
Buena pero en Español si
...Open English
Es para tí.
Pointless collection if it doesn't include "Once upon a time in the West"
Agreed, but these are all MGM westerns. Once Upon a Time in the West was Paramount.
not a good selection , but no expectation from Hollywood anymore
They shouldnt have messed with Jed
why do bad guys wear
thick winter coats in the desert
