My ten favorite western movies of all time.

[Glenn B]

I have seen so many westerns in my lifetime it is hard to think of only the 10 I consider the best. I am sure if I woke up the little gray cells and got them to working a bit harder, I'd maybe have to change one or two on this list. Anyway, here are the ones I can think of for now, in no particular order:

Arizona - with Jean Arthur & William Holden (two all time greats in the world of acting)
A Big Hand For The Little Lady
The Rare Breed
The Westerner
High Noon
True Grit (1969)
Two Mules For Sister Sarah
The Paleface
The Mountain Men
Tombstone (1993)

Honorable mention goes to City Slickers II: The Legend of Curly's Gold and to My Little Chickadee.

I did. How's the freeze dryer?

Catastrophic failure after 3 batches. It is back in Utah being fixed. Can’t say I am very happy with it but we will give them a chance to make it right

I’m really disappointed. It appears nobody thought to list my personal favorite western movie.

Both of those will be classics for years to come.

Shane was Jean Arthur's only color film and the last one in which she appeared.

Rooster Cogburn was good too. Not as good as True Grit, but good.

Between John Wayne and Clint Eastwood I'd be happy with their westerns, but it is hard to leave out Roy Rogers, Gene Autry and maybe even Randolph Scott...

What is not to like about Silverado? After that I would move to a series like Deadwood, truly awesome.

This is a good thread and brought back many memories.

I like Hostiles and while not sure if in the Top Ten, it's up there - at least with me.

 

[ZX9RCAM]

Don't think I ever even heard of this one.

Kind of like a western "The Gauntlet"?
