I prefer the the Spaghetti Westerns, but my Grandfather would agree with you that Wales is the best. To me though the Sergio Leone films with Eastwood and 2/3 of them with Lee Van Cleef were unbelievable. Though Wales is more quotable.
This is the perfect Western, the story, dialog, acting, casting, costumes, pacing, action, and cinemaphotography, all first rate. It's my second favorite Western of all time.
@@peach495 He was heartless. But you've gotta be that way when you live by the righteous way of life. And not with what your country or the government tells you to live by? I wished they'd go back to having public hangings myself?
“Now remember, when things look bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. 'Cause if you lose your head and you give up, then you neither live nor win. That's just the way it is.“. Great Josey Wales pep talk.
There are sooooooooooooooooooooooo many scenes though. Calling one a favorite is the same is saying what your favorite food/dinner is. He was the reason I got my S&W Model 29 in 1991 though.....very near Carmel where he was mayor at the time. He'll always be a favorite. Too bad Hollywood isn't capable of making movies like this anymore. It's been dead for over a decade now.

Josey Wales : When I get to likin' someone, they ain't around long. Lone Watie : I notice when you get to DISlikin' someone they ain't around for long neither.
They both played cowboys, they both played military men, they both played cops. Clint however directs and he writes music to many of his movies. Edge to Clint. But my favorite John Wayne movie was his last one, a western. ‘The Shootist’.
Growing up in the Bay Area, Northern California, my high school friend bragged about how they found out where he lived, they were hanging in front of his house and he came out and in a very smooth voice said”now you boys just slide on and out of here.” Probably one of the coolest things would be Clint telling you nicely to get lost! 😂
There's only a few western movies I can watch over and over again.. The Life and times of judge Roy Bean, little big man and The outlaw Josey Wales. Probably a few others but those are the ones that come to mind.
Little big man traumatized me when I saw it in the theater as an 8 year old boy with the scene where his Indian wife and her infant gets shot down by clusters troops in the snow.....that was awful
Kinda partial to "We got something in this territory called a Missouri boat ride", and "Its a good thing you came along when you did, I might have killed her"
Good luck getting some corporate yuppie to be all passionate about a movie; Hollywood spends 200 mill for a commercial. Sometimes there's a decent movie in there.. sometimes
Clint character brilliant, he is a super star, soon as that door flies open. Got to be the best western of movie history, even when he spit on their dead body' classic move
He's just lucky that the Josey Wales didn't train his pistols on him, and start firing! Happy to be alive, that's what he is! Which is more than you can say for them two pilgrims that got blasted. And the Squaw? Well, I reckon he decided to let her tag along, and leave that there storekeeper high & dry...and...still alive!
I like how he uses a lot of the same people in his movies, like this guy who just got the first drop on Josey also was his partner in Dirty Harry movies, till he got killed in one of them. Even Red Legs Terrell. Same cop in “The Gauntlet”
Wild Bill McKinney was also in Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. Along with part of the bike gang in Every Which Way But Loose. Also Bronco Billy. He was good friends with Clint and worked on many of his works.
I have got this movie DVD of which is my favourite Clint Eastwood movie with the late Sondra Locke with Joan Vernon in The Outlaw Josey Wales I am dedicating this movie DVD to my old school friends who are both sisters as I hope to see them both again to Chris and Hester Brand from Billyxxx
Little Bill: "Well sir you just shot an unarmed man." J. Wales: "... Well he should have armed himself if he is going to decorate his store with my friend..."
Josey Wales is up there as a favorite, but I have Unforgiven, and if we're talking westerns Wild Bunch and Searchers. A lot of good movies out there. I'm just happy I get to see them.
The Duke, John Wayne, was the epitome of American Westerns from mid-40s to 1970s. Clint Eastwood/Sam Elliott picked up the mantle until early 2000s. Sadly, that genre is dying out w/no one to carry on that tradition....
Harry Miram Sadly, your right. I'd hate to see the classic western fade into history. Denzel Washington and company did a great job remaking the Magnificent Seven but I don't see him picking up the genre.
@@roberobe1411...For a little while, thought Sam Elliott looked like an credible candidate. Loved his work in The Sacketts, Shadow Riders, Conagher &, most recently, as Caretaker in Ghost Rider....

@@jimmyolsen5897 sorry Jimmy not sure about your point we both like Clint, critics often didn't but we do. But I will say Where Eagles Dare is best bad war movie ever made. Some of best British actors, ever, and Clint. I'm humming the theme as I type.
''...the Missoura boat ride...'' I dislike Westerns immensely but I adore this film intensely, nothing else compares. ''...how's it with stains...'' I could go on all day, the supporting actors on this film are incredible.

Some people say the Spaghetti Westerns. Some people say ‘Unforgiven’. I still say The Outlaw Josey Wales is Clint Eastwood’s best western.

Greatest western ever. Josie just kills one deserving scumbag after another, from start to finish

Even Uncle Leo.

No, champ, he’s just a filthy rich actor.
Hell yeah Clint all day and all night!!
I’m just going to say it…. The outlaw Josey wales is the best western movie ever made
Definitely my favorite Clint movie
I'd say second best. The shootist, John Wayne and then the cowboys, John Wayne.
This is definitely one of the greatest ever made. I do think Unforgiven is just a tad better, but I wouldn't mount an argument for that decision.
Absolutely👍
I watch these westerns at least once a year. Over the years that I know most of the lines.
"To hell with them fellas. Buzzards gotta eat same as worms." JW
One of the greatest westerns/civil war movies ever. Never to be duplicated.
“ dying ain’t much of a living boy “ 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Love that line. I always cite it when someone tells me smoking is a wonderful lifestyle.
I like "you gonna pull those pistols or whistle Dixie"
Everyone’s got it coming kid
One of the greatest westerns ever made !
If there's one western movie scene of all time that I'd like to watch a billion times . Here it is !!!!
I've probably watched it more than a hundred. lol
"I got me josey wales!"
Famous last words
Ha you’re right. Hilarious
"Now ease those pistols out - but first" . "Like molasses in the winter time".
Oh no you don't !
Clint Eastwood, one of the last real men in Hollywood.

Greatest scene in movie history! The world will suck even more, when this legend is gone.

Hard to believe Clint is 90 yrs old , one of the very best ever ! ! ! ! !
Yep a recon so
Legendary
Yes Yeahh
I’m 100!
AALLLL AMERICAN PATRIOT!!!
The dialogue in this film is just awesome. ....
“Now remember, when things look bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. 'Cause if you lose your head and you give up, then you neither live nor win. That's just the way it is.“. Great Josey Wales pep talk.
Classic Clint! An entertaining mix of suspense, comedy and violence! A terrific scene!
One of the best western scenes period. Clint is my all time favorite.
Something to be said for a hero with guts, tenacity and strength. No technology or superpowers!
Just Col. Colt.
Amen to that.
A lot to be said
When a man is right - he's right...
And I carry an 1860
Going to cinema when a big Clint movie came out was one of lifes highlights.
Yep. I remember where I was when I saw this for the first time. New Orleans. And I was 16 years old. Great movie.
God bless the both of you
That's right my Old man took me to see Josey Wales when I was 10
Mr. chain blue lightning himself..
The lines are just unmatched in old Eastwood westerns.
“When I say move, you move real slow, like molasses in wintertime…”
Mr. Chain Blue Lightning himself
1:07 dude the way he opens the door standing like a demon from hell. Shits about to go down
Copied from the SEARCHERS where John Wayne stands in the door.
"I say that big talk is worth doodly squat."
“Are you gonna pull those pistols or whistle Dixie?”
Clint has so many iconic scenes in his illustrious career that one can easily be persuaded as to their favorite. For me, this is it.
I Like the Mule shoot out.
There are sooooooooooooooooooooooo many scenes though. Calling one a favorite is the same is saying what your favorite food/dinner is.

It's true somewhat.
One of the best movie lines ever!!
This Film should have won him his First Oscar. 1976 had very tough variety of competition for epic Films such as Rocky and Others.
I don’t remember “Others.” What was that about?
This movie shows why Eastwood is the best cowboy bar none. sorry Mr Wayne but the searchers was great, but this was in a class of its own.
They both played cowboys, they both played military men, they both played cops. Clint however directs and he writes music to many of his movies. Edge to Clint. But my favorite John Wayne movie was his last one, a western. ‘The Shootist’.
@@jogman262 Don't argue both made great movies. Hey a

He just made the BEST westerns ever! I never tire of him in any western or Dirty Harry Film! dx
It is impossible for me to ever tire of this scene.
I luv it. The old man has the drop on Josie and yet still calls him "Mr. Lightning."
Back in the days when writing a script was actually done well I don't know why today movies just suck .
Modern movies are garbage because they are propaganda.
Clint Eastwood produced and directed films that have a soul.
Mix of propaganda, lack of talent, and computers
Good luck getting some corporate yuppie to be all passionate about a movie; Hollywood spends 200 mill for a commercial. Sometimes there's a decent movie in there.. sometimes
@@darthdracul8758 In the 1980's had to rely on writing, set building, and real acting all they had to work with.
This silhouette of Clint should be a stamp of approval on all westerns deserving of it! Kinda like Jerry West is the "Logo" of the NBA!!!
They could have used it for’
(In Clint’s voice) “I don’t always drink beer, but when I do, I drink Dos Equis.”
There are so many good westerns that I have enjoyed it's hard for me to name a favorite but this one is definitely in my top 5.
Clip from what I think is Eastwood's best movie, among all of his great ones. The best western ever made.
“Are you gonna pull those pistols or whistle Dixie?”

You a bounty hunter? Mans gotta make a livin. " Dyin aint much of a livin boy!

Know one ever did westerns like Clint. He changed it all.
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is my favorite Clint Eastwood spaghetti western…. All 2 hours and 58 minutes of it!
Joseph Wales is better 😁
Everybody gangsta until Clint walks in.
When I was a kid, I hated westerns. This one changed my mind.

Except that guy was still moving though he was definitely circling the drain. That's what made it even colder.

The man knows how to make an entrance... and an exit for the losers.
I cannot scroll by this movie on TV without watching.......
That was the greatest scene ever, right up until the next scene of The Outlaw Josey Wales.
Josie Wales is easily Clint's second greatest character, just behind William Munny.
Got to put Harry Callahan on that list too.
No way Josey Wales is number 1.
Little Bill: "Well sir you just shot an unarmed man."
J. Wales: "... Well he should have armed himself if he is going to decorate his store with my friend..."
That wasn't Josey Wales. Bill Munny took care of business and Little Bill Daggett in that exchange.
I stand corrected!!

"Welcome to our flash sale on horses."
One of the best damn movies ever made!!
Tied with Once Upon A Time In The West.Fonda and Bronson.
Thank God for gritty realism. This is a long way from Roy and Dale.
Always loved this scene but it never made sense that you would ask a gunfighter to pull out his pistols when you're trying to capture him.
Who said these guys were "sensible"? They didn't seem that way.
John Wesley Hardin famously used this move to kill a sheriff.
It's a MOVIE scene designed so that Josey Wales or Dirty Harry shoots every bad guy with one shot.
Fun movie though.
