The Unforgiven.
Clint eastwood is still the best at the art of Western filmaking. And he's still looking great for being an old man. |

The best western I've ever seen is ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST.
But El Topo is my favorite movie of all time, usually (it shifts between that, Hana-Bi, Taxi Driver, and Eureka [2000] depending on my mood), and it's an acid western of the highest order. I am really interested in the so-called "acid western" genre, as they are usually not strictly westerns but have similiar vibes and the same kind of look to them. Films like LONG LIVE DEATH and I WILL WALK LIKE A CRAZY HORSE are surreal movies that reference Westerns but are really in a weird class of their own. Can't go wrong with any of the Eastwood westerns, really. I also really like HELLBENDERS and CUTTHROATS 9 quite a bit. I am thinking of one day directing a claymation avant-Western. |
Bah, you Americans and your weird allegiance to Italian westerns.
I mean look at this picture. How fucking perfect is that? The one thing you do better than any country in the world, and you look to Italy. Italy! For Westerns!!!!! ![]() |
All of Clint's spaghetti westerns, and some other of Clint's of that era, like erm, The Outlaw Josey Wales and that.
Westerns before that were cheaply made and show it. Nowadays all the big budget movies are all basically B-movies, but with pretty explosions. |

westerns are my favorite genre.
i have seen nearly 30 in the last year. once upon a time in the west the wild bunch high noon high plains drifter great silence django and many more are all amazing. i am writing a seminar paper that is mostly about OUAITW todayu i emailed someone at morricone's site asking about score's and she said that there are no authorized scores by him. so that sucks cause regardless of the paper, it would be really cool to analyze some of his tripier scores |
I've noticed that no-one's mentioned Calamity Jane or Paint your Wagon yet. C'mon though, I know you're all indie kids, but Doris Day!
