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.
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 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.
“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.“
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
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’.
We shouldnt really try to decide which Clint Eastwood movie was his best. Be thankfully we have them all. We won't always have him, so we will be glad for every single one of his movies. I know I am! I just wish he could make one more! 😃
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
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
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
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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..."
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!
@@garynicholls1448 She's not acting being Native American. Geraldine Keams was raised on the Navajo reservation then went to the University of Arizona, where she studied drama and film.
@1:30 the background at the door scenery looks very different then when Josey (Eastwood) enters through the door the first time. It looks like an auto wreckers yard with junked cars piled up? Quite bizarre?? Anyone else see/notice that? If indeed a blooper, very strange on why that would be seen after the first door opening?
You cant deny his awareness though, it went from a mid 1800's setting to the realization that they used some shack on a salvage yard because it fit the bill. It's almost like josey Wales should of asked for a specific classic car part. I will never veiw that scene the same.
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....

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

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.
I have watched this scene over and over for years and years. And I will continue to watch it as long as I live. Pilgrims. Hah!
It is the Ionic Western scene

Yep a recon so
Legendary
Yes Yeahh
I’m 100!
AALLLL AMERICAN PATRIOT!!!
One of the best western scenes period. Clint is my all time favorite.
"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 !
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.

The "Missouri Boat Ride" scene was my favorite.
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
Classic Clint! An entertaining mix of suspense, comedy and violence! A terrific scene!
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...

He just made the BEST westerns ever! I never tire of him in any western or Dirty Harry Film! dx
In the calmest voice "well let's see...say those horses belong to them there pilgrims huh" Cold as hell.

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.

It is impossible for me to ever tire of this scene.
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.
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?
Know one ever did westerns like Clint. He changed it all.
Hollywood could remake this movie a hundred times and never capture the magic this movie has.
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.”
Clip from what I think is Eastwood's best movie, among all of his great ones. The best western ever made.
Yeah, just the most badass dudes ever. Clint will live forever
"Ease them pistols out." That was the most I've ever laughed in my life.
I luv it. The old man has the drop on Josie and yet still calls him "Mr. Lightning."
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’.

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 😁
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
Luckily dna wasn’t invented yet
Except that guy was still moving though he was definitely circling the drain. That's what made it even colder.
“He ain’t a hard man to track. He leaves dead men wherever he goes”.
When I was teaching about viscosity of liquids in science class, I loved using the molasses in winter time line to represent a liquid flowing slowly.
"Dont piss down my back, and tell me it's rainin". " everyone had good lines in this move, even granny at the river.
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"
Always loved that line, “Don’t Piss, well you know it! I’ve told people that before, and got some interesting responses and looks too!
@@tomseadon9965 thats old saying leg is use in that metaphor too.
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.
