Re: Western Movies
 

He's really good in "Second Hand Lions", too. One of my favorite non-westerns.

I'd add to the many movies listed (maybe not truly "westerns"): Quigly Down Under, Dances with Wolves and Little Big Man.

Re: Western Movies
 

Although typically not considered a western in the same breath as the period pieces (i.e. The Searchers), it would be hard to find a more iconic "modern" western character than Paul Newman's Hud in the film of the same name.

Re: Western Movies
 

Favorite is OJWales, the Searchers and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon.

A few others not mentioned yet:

The Magnificent Seven (A Kurosawa Samurai flick)
Brynner, Wallach, McQueen, Bronson, Coburn

One-Eyed jacks (Brando's best Western)
Brando & Malden

Lonely Are the Brave (from a Edward Abbey novel)
Kirk Douglas, Walter Matthau

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
Bogart and Huston (Badges? We ain't got no....)

Re: Western Movies
 

I've always appreciated the anti-hero aspect of many Westerns. My all-time favorite would have to be "The Professionals." I like how it covers the time period when the traditional Old West was starting to give way to the modern era of automobiles. Plus Burt Lancaster makes for a great scene-chewing villain.

Re: Western Movies
 

I think the magnificent Seven One of the reatest Was not mentioned. One of the Best

I must be psychic, Heath, I put "Hud" in the movie title thread 30 seconds before reading this....wow.

I love old spaghetti westerns. Clint owns the genre, but I would probably have to chose "My Name Is Nobody" as my all-time favorite.
I'm glad Bob mentioned it because I couldn't believe it wasn't on the first page.

I recently watched a comedy spaghetti western that was really good.
It's spanish and it's subtitled, but it was big fun.
It's called 800 Bullets. Here's a link.
It's definately worth the $1.99 at Blockbuster. One of the user comments on that page I linked says "A touching and funny homage to Spaghetti Westerns and film-making in general."
It's exactly that. It's not going to win any awards, but it pleasantly surprised me. I'd love to sit and watch it again. :tu

Re: Western Movies
 

I think you mean Wyatt Earp, which starred Costner. I have to go with the Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer in Tombstone. That film is so much better IMO.

Re: Western Movies
 

Just bought a collection of really crappy spaghetti westerns at Wal-Mart for the purpose of making fun of them, Mystery Science Theater style. Rage At Dawn was an insta-classic :r I'm still trying wondering where the rage is!

Re: Western Movies
 

Well, you're *something,* Tom...:r

Another non-traditional fav western for me is All The Pretty Horses. The book is a better-told story, but the film still has some great acting and an interesting cross-border storyline.

Re: Western Movies
 

"Death Rides a Horse" is one of the great underrated westerns IMO. Lee Van Cleef is in it...and he DOESN'T play a bad guy!
