Best Western Of All Time ?

Clint the Colonizer?

14 Native American films made by Native filmmakers from Oklahoma

 

One Eyed Jacks

 

Pow Wow Highway. There are other films made by Native
Americans. I will post titles soon as I can remember them.

The framing of your question is a little off-center, however.
Historically, before the Spanish and Anglos set foot on the
continent, Native Americans migrated from Western Eurasia
and Asia, according to DNA evidence. So they are colonizers,
too. Perhaps the first, but there are endless questions about
who was here first and which continent they started from.

 

Don’t forget the Vikings.
The Norseman (1978)

 

I'd tend to agree with you on this.

 

Best European western?
GB&U
Best American western ?
The Magnificent Seven
Or
The Wild Bunch

 

Thanks. I'm aware Clint's old, but not that old.

I didn't want to turn the thread in the History channel, but I take your well made point.

I'll check out Pow Wow Highway and the 14 mentioned, should keep me going for a while.
Appreciated.

 

The one that hit me the most and by far. McCabe and Mrs. Miller.

 

The Searchers (1956) - IMDb
Shane (1953) - IMDb
Old Henry (2021) - IMDb

 

Two out of three ain't bad. Sometimes I think
all the best westerns were made in the 1950s,
a decade when Americans still looked upon
their western heritage with love and pride.

 

The Searchers (1956)
The Magnificent Seven (1960)

 

Did you watch Old Henry?

 

The Ox-Bow Incident (1943)
Winchester 73 (1950)
The Searchers (1956)
One-Eyed Jacks (1961)
The Good, The Bad And The Ugly (1966)
The Shooting (1966)
Once Upon A Time In The West (1968)
The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford (2007)
The Revenant (2015)
Hostiles (2017)

(in chronological order)

 

Yes. I have it.

 

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly or On e Upon A Time In The West.

 

Unforgiven was the best. That was the distillation of his life to that point and while Josey Wales and High Plains Drifter were great or really any of the others - he had a human connection with Morgan Freeman and the idiot.

 

You mean the Kid

Still the best

 

Liked Cry Macho, not at good as The Mule.

 

Good! Like the movie.

 

Old Henry is very good! 310 To Yuma with Russels Crowe is also very good.

 

I'm sure that film looks great on blue ray
I have the DVD

How the West Was Won has been greatly improved with blue ray version.

I never saw it but the cowboys and aliens maybe is a good western
Just kidding

 

Prefer the Crowe film. Old Henry ( smaller budget)just got a great end climax.

 

I liked them both-I liked the stories of both films, and they showed that an aged star can still pull it off.

 

The remake of 3:10 to Yuma with Crowe is garbage. One
of the worst westerns I've seen since I started watching
westerns in 1962 when I was five. It's an authentic piece
of junk.

Old Henry I like up to a point -- the son's behavior is not
believable -- but I wish they had chosen some other outlaw
de jour instead of Billy the Kid to underpin the old man
Henry. I happen to know more about the Kid than most
people, and just once I wish filmmakers would get his story
right. Just once. The inferences about his background are
confused in the film, to say nothing of the fact that Sheriff
Pat Garrett shot him dead just before midnight 14 July 1881.
That fact is unassailable. I'm all for western fiction, but
when dealing with people who actually lived, it is time to
take responsibility for what we say and do in the movies.
