    Top Five Westerns

    In case you didn't notice, there were a ton of great western themed movies on this past weekend. Some were my all time favorites. Just wondering, what are your top five favorites?
    Here are mine.

    1. Tombstone (Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, Sam Elliott)

    2. The Outlaw Joey Wales (Clint Eastwood, Chief Dan George, Sondra Locke, Will Sampson)

    3. The Searchers (John Wayne, Ward Bond, Natalie Wood, Jeffrey Hunter)

    4. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance ( John Wayne, Lee Marvin, Jimmy Stewart, Vera Miles, Edmund O'Brien)

    5. True Grit ( Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, Hailee Steinfeld, Josh Brogan, Barry Pepper)

    I almost put the original True Grit in the fifth slot, but somehow, I like the newer one a tad better, and already had two John Wayne flics on my list.

    1. THE
    2. OUTLAW
    3. JOSEY
    4.. WALES

    5...fill in the blank...

    HAH, actually. Wales is an incredible film. I've thought man, it's a really mediocre film, but with about 50 great iconic moments in it. Of course, I'll watch for those moments whenever I run across it.

    "...c'mon up Benny....we got us the Josey Wales..."

    Is this thread to be lovingly referred to as the Best Western thread? (Insert logo here).


    I would spinkle one or two of Clint's spaghetti western appearances in a Top 10 list. But for me, Unforgiven would hold the top spot.

    I in the Unforgiven camp. One of the best morality plays ever filmed.

    "Yup."

    Clint's first stab at playing an old man. He's still doing it almost 30 years later.

    Do Hell or High Water and No Country for Old Men qualify for this list?

    I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!
    I am happy to see Wales get so much support as it has been my favorite since it came out. So many great lines and the scene with Ten Bears is EPIC. I always thought Unforgiven was a make up call by the academy for Eastwood's body of work. It's alright, and "We've all got it coming kid" is a fantastic line, but in my mind it is far from his best. I prefer Pale Rider and of course his early stuff over it. No matter what it is though, when I am flipping and see Clint, I pause for a while. I don't think I do that for anyone else.

    I would say no, although they are set in the west.

    I know it was made for TV, but Lonesome Dove is probably my favorite. Excellent cast.

    Oh, and The Cowboys! Loved that movie.
