This is the best western. If you disagree you're a zoomie.
>>220874866Tombstone
Hell or High Water
>>220874866High Plains Drifter for me
>>220874926Unforgiven stomps on Tombstone's balls
No this is patric
The parts with Clint Eastwood and his group were boring.
I prefer The Ballad of Lefty Brown.
>>220874866Has anyone here seen Rust?
>>220874866If you think Unforgiven is the best western then you're a retarded millennial.
>>220875059It's killer movie. You should give it a shot.
I like the True Grit remake
>>220875059people are dying to see it.
Forgiven is the best western.
>>220875112I thought it was to gritty.
True Grit (2010) actually is the best Western ever made.
Last one I watched and I liked it a lot
>>220875342best one I've seen>>220875072worst one I've seen, so boring and lame
>>220874866Close, but pic related is the superior western
>>220874866its in my top 5 of western movies
>>220875342I wish I could havve got a Sergio Leone film with Charles Bronson that was just western Death Wish or something.
This is the Best Western

>>220875072>>220875460If you guys couldn't get into Unforgiven then you need to be aware you have a blind spot in your brain that's going to make life more challenging for you. Good luck!
>>220875342Unforgiven is good, but this is the correct answer
Everyone in this thread needs to watch Stagecoach.
>>220875072>john wayne>searchers on top of thatlol you're one to talki've seen people like you sucking dick and eating shit near my dumpster
>>220875072That one was really disappointing
>>220874988if ur a fag
test
>>220875072>While there is no single consensus pick, The Searchers (1956) is most frequently hailed as the greatest Western of all time. Directed by John Ford and starring John Wayne, it is celebrated for its breathtaking cinematography, complex themes, and iconic protagonist.
>>220876205Others from the Golden 50s considered to be legendary includeHigh Noon (1952): A tense, real-time thriller that is widely regarded for its themes of civic duty and democracy.High Noon has been cited as a favorite by several U.S. presidents. Dwight Eisenhower screened the film at the White HouseRonald Reagan cited High Noon as his favorite film, due to the protagonist's strong commitment to duty and the law.and Bill Clinton hosted a record 17 White House screenings of it. "It's no accident that politicians see themselves as Gary Cooper in High Noon," Clinton said.
>>220874963Wouldn't consider it a western in the classic sense, but it is a great movie.
>>220875072What's this guy's name again?
>>220874866Yeah, but have you met a pair like Butch and The Kid?
For me, it’s Appaloosa. Criminally underrated and forgotten; go torrent it right now.
>>220876031Buffalo Bill Center of the West>Ahh, the movie that made John Wayne a star and John Ford a visionary. This is the oldest and perhaps most distinguished entry on this list and for good reason — it cemented the Western as a serious film genre and showed us what the West feels like in its vast, gritty glory. Stagecoach (1939) is a monumental film that single-handedly elevated the Western from a "B-movie" staple to a serious, respected art form. Directed by John Ford, it introduced complex psychological character studies and launched John Wayne to global superstardomBefore 1939, Westerns were mostly viewed as cheap, innocent pulp. Ford brought depth, sharp social commentary, and moral complexity to a simple plot of strangers surviving a perilous journey.It transformed Wayne from a struggling B-movie actor into Hollywood's definitive cowboy icon, cementing his star persona and famous on-screen presence.The film features legendary stunts (like Yakima Canutt's famous horse-transfer sequence done without special effects) and established the disaster/group-jeopardy movie structure.Monument Valley: Ford utilized the striking, rugged landscape of Monument Valley as a character in its own right. Stagecoach set a precedent for using the vast American desert to create cinematic myth
>>220874866worst western actually. fucking boomer slop for goyim
>>220875298that's true
>>220876928boomer slop genre
>>220876928>>220877131You guys need to calm down and take deep breaths. Unforgiven was great but nobody is saying it's better than your favorites
>>220875687Think this might be about the closest you'd get.
>>220875792That's a conservative film though.
>>220874926Tombstone is normie tier.
>>220874926My Darling Clementine is better.
For me it's The Big Country.
>>220874866what if i agree and am a zoomer?
this is the best western and it's free on youtube right now. you have no excuse not to watch this absolute kino right now
>>220874866Zoomers have literally never seen a western
have you even seen Searchers or Great Silence? If you haven't don' get back to me.
plebs all of you
My personal favorite
Look at this run of Westerns the 90s had:Quigley Down Under (1990)Dances with Wolves (1990)Young Guns II (1990)City Slickers (1991)Unforgiven (1992)Pure Country (1992)Far and Away (1992)The Last of the Mohicans (1992)Tombstone (1993)Wyatt Earp (1994)City Slickers II (1994)Legends of the Fall (1994)The Quick and the Dead (1995)Desperado (1995)Will Bill (1995)Dead Man (1995)Lone Star (1996)The 1990s was a massive resurgence and reinvention era for Western movies. The definitive, universally acclaimed best Western of the decade is Unforgiven (1992), closely followed by the highly stylish Tombstone (1993) and the epic, Oscar-winning Dances With Wolves (1990).ChatGPT>There isn't a single universally agreed-upon "best" Western of the 1990s, but the movie most often cited as the decade's standout is Unforgiven.
>>220875072Based.
>>220876914thanks chatgpt
>>220876803I watched this one just the other day. Great movie, but the use of "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" in the casual NTR scene was a really weird choice.
>>220875711This is the West Bestern.
>>220877597For me it's>Quigley Down Underfor most comfy afternoon slop movie>Dances with Wolvesif I just want to have background noiseand>Hang Them High for best western
Interestingly Jimmy Stewart was in both of the two best western deconstructions. I like Unforgiven too though.
>>220874866
>>220877490bastu
>>220877540this
>>220877540Damn good movie
>>220874866Wrong. The Best Western is a chain of affordable hotels, not a movie. You have been DEBUNKED.
>>220874866Nope. It is the third best western. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is at number one. High Plains Drifter at number two. Unforgiven at number three.
>>220876205>>220875072John Wayne's my favorite western actor, but I think the single best western is Shane
>>220877597two Arthouse & Postmodern Westerns that made best Western of the 90s listsBoth these were low budget films not many knew about, went under the radar Dead Man (1995): >Johnny Depp as William Blake, before he did Donnie Brasco and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. He did Edward Scissorhands in 1990, >Described by Jarmusch as a "Psychedelic western", the film is shot entirely in monochrome. Neil Young composed the guitar-dominated soundtrack with portions he improvised while watching the movie footage.>A surreal, meditative "acid Western" directed by Jim Jarmusch and shot in striking black-and-white. Lone Star (1996): >age 26 Matthew McConaughey as Buddy Deeds (1993 is when he got known from Dazed & Confused)>A modern-day neo-Western and murder mystery set in a Texas border town, highly praised for its exploration of memory, borders, and complex family history.>The film premiered at the 1996 South by Southwest Festival in Austin and received widespread critical acclaim, with critics regarding it as a high point of 1990s independent cinema as well as one of Sayles's best films. Sayles's screenplay was nominated for an Academy Award, BAFTA Award, and Golden Globe Award
He was gay, Gary Cooper?
>>220874866client eastwood has not directed a single good film.i like the searchers and the 3:10 to yuma remake
>>220875072Based. Too many people just watch a bunch of Clint Eastwood westerns and some crap from the 90s and think that’s all there is to watch. The genre peaked before 1960 for christs sake.
>>220878390No.
>>220878716Why don't you go fuck yourself?
>>220878501>and the 3:10 to yuma remakeEver seen the original? It's one of the best of the 50s
>>220874866Why?The story seems pretty small, very contained.Clint's character turns into batman the last 10 minutes when he was shown as a loser since the beggining.Once upon a time in the west is 100x better.
>>220880117>once upon a time in the westTrope after trope after trope with shallow and cliché characters, but the soundtrack is good
>>220874866Unforgiven is an anti-western that intentionally subverts most western tropes, it can't be the best one. You literally don't get the full experience of the film without a knowledge of westerns and Eastwoods career.
>>220878501Josey Wales, Madison County, Heartbreak Ridge, Letters from Iwo Jima?
>>220880147>Trope after trope after tropeWhat the fuck do you think a western is, you retard? It's a genre film
>>220877540PUUUUUTTTAAAA
>>220880117>Clint's character turns into batman the last 10 minutes when he was shown as a loser since the beginning.He was reluctant to kill again. He couldn't hit shit because he didn't want to. When he had motivation the old instincts came back. Aside from that Gene Hackman was the only real killer in the room everyone else was a sheep with a gun. Once Clint killed Gene Hackman it was a shooting gallery. That's kind of the point, what made Clint an effective killer was the willingness to kill and to be killed while everyone else was trying to save their own ass.
>>220880233He was also lucky, but he's always been lucky when it comes to killing folks. The entire film is a subversion of the romantic western.
>>220880196>an anti-western that intentionally subverts most western tropesMost big westerns, especially by the 50s, but even going back to the silent era, do this though. I don't know why people think the whole western genre is one simple story repeated a million times. They've always been nuanced, socially challenging, psychological, genre-blending etc. with tons of variety in subject matter and character arcs>>220880224>guy who has seen less than 10 westerns in his life, and none before 1964No shit you think a western is specifically a film where an invincible, cardboard protagonist with no past or future gets bloody revenge on a cartoonishly evil bad guy in a town where law or consequences of any kind don't exist
>>220880334>Most big westerns, especially by the 50s, but even going back to the silent era, do this though.Oh come the fuck on anon, Unforgiven is like the quintessential anti-western. Broken Arrow is notable in that it subverts cowboys and indians (kinda) but lets not pretend it's a commentary on westerns as a whole, nor does it address the underlying romantic tropes or stylistic flourishes of the classic western.
>>220875342Absolutely this. The mood in this is unmatched
>>220877490I will never watch this because the title is so retarded
>>220880427wow anon you're such an intellectual
>>220880384What do you think Unforgiven did new that hadn't been done by many westerns before it?
Watched this one for the memes but it's also unironically a pretty solid western
>>220880233He started drinking again too. Lack of fucks. >>220874866I've been watching The Rifleman, and Brisco County Jr recently. They're both pretty good. The Rifleman might be the best example of "surf Dracula" out there. By the end of every episode that fool is rifling.
>>220880440Still waiting on an answer to this, as again, westerns have been "subverting tropes" throughout their entire existence in film, and the 50s was the pinnacle. It's always been a genre that reflected on itself and used its setting to tell all kinds of stories from all different philosophies and moral directions.
>>220877459Nah, nothing happens in this one, it's boring
It's not even the best Clint Eastwood western. That's Outlaw Josey Wales
Mogs
>>220880427The title is kino actually, and you are a retarded American.
>>220881113Some of them did subvert tropes, Gary Cooper for instance was in a film called "The Westerner" directed by William Wyler ....his character is clearly a psychopath if some sort and in the very first scene he appears in he's being put on trial and it's clear that they're doing their best to sentence him to death, but he escapes and ends up reuiniting two rivals tiwns through deceit. It's a clever little film and especially the first half is pretty unpredictable and an atypical western, especially for 1940.
>>220881893Great movie, and Walter Brennan steals the show
>>220874926tombstone is very overrated. Only gets ranked high because of val kilmer and its one of the few westerns younger people have watched.
>>220875072ah yes, because 96 year old clint eastwood is such a millenial fag
>>220875072Unforgiven does not have an entirely pointless half hour ballroom dancing sequence thrown in the middle (for no other reason than John Ford loving these kinds of sequences), so no, Unforgiven is still better.
>>220881893Speaking of Gary Cooper, I rewatched Man of the West the other day. He plays a former outlaw who ran away from that life and found a small town where he could redeem and rebuild himself, but then he runs into his old gang and is taken captive by them and forced to rejoin their operations, as he struggles to resist falling back into the violent nature that kept him alive back then
>>220877597last of the mohicans aint a western. Its on the east coast and set before the united states even existed
>>220882039Clint would tell you that The Ox-Bow Incident was the best western
Unforgiven is a very prominent early example of "everything masculine you used to like is problematic". It's a propaganda film and it's why the Academy sucked its dick, having the right opinion.
>>220882096thinking one of the best westerns ever made is "woke" is retarded. Its like thinking a war movie is bad because it depicts war as brutal and painfully realistic. like movies for how well made and acted they are, not for what political ideas you imagine them to have.
>>220882042There's like a single minute of dancing in that movie and it's during a wedding scene that isn't pointless by any means. Are you so ADD ridden that it felt like half an hour to you?
You'll never have this. Why even live

>>220885785>>220885904Million Dollar Baby (2004)
Might as well post the best anti western since you zoomers are obsessed with deconstructing the western.
>>220885925accurate. Unforgiven actually has a badass cowboy assassin in it, mcCabe and mrs miller is just about a 19th century pimp and way less heroic about it.
>>220874866my only connection to this movie is some channelawesome member called lordkat used it has his profil poicture.i never watched lordkat much, i only remmber him for spoony shenanigans and eventually becoming trans
I've literally never understood John Wayns films.I just don't know why, it's not even a matter of how old they are, I just feel ike everything looks so "clean", it's why I prefer the spaghetti westerns. But to keep in the spirit of the thread.The Great Silence is the greatest Western ever made and it's not really close.
>>220878826Thats an angry looking 17 yr old. Hey teen what's the problem?
>>220882135Unforgiven is a sad sack subversion of the Spaghetti Westerns Clint was initially famous for appearing in. It's not imagined. It's not a projection of now onto the past. It's what it is. It's a film about wallowing in guilt and a momentary indulgence in violence at the very end, which you should feel extra guilty about. In much the same way your war films, that aren't themselves wanton pro war propaganda, are sad sack treatises themselves. Wallowing in the dogwater.
>>220874926lol retard
>>220874926tombstone is not even a good movie, you indian freak>>220882030no one ouside of /tv/ even rates tombstone. its considered a mid popcorn flick, which isi t
I don't get Unforgiven.Like, wasn't he a single father with to kids under the age of 10? Why would he ever leave them for a few weeks alone? It's not like his family was in danger. The whole movie felt narcisstic straigth through. The main character was irresponsible, lethargic, selfcentered, self-indulgent and the only reason the movie ended in his favour was because>the scriptwrite had to make money>the director chose the script>the director casted himself as the MCI've yet seen any argument for the story being a solid tale of the western world.

>>220877490prob my favorite of the 00’s
Searchers is over-rated by hacks because of "muh racism". High Plains Drifter is supernatural western kino. I also think Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid deserves more love.

Outlaw Josey Wales is head and shoulders above the rest in my mind and I like it the best, that said>>220875749 is the greatest duel put to film. I rate it even over GBU. It's an incredible scene.

Little Bill did literally nothing wrong. He was the duly elected sheriff protecting his town from falling into a state of lawless vigilantism. The whore wasn't even hurt that badly, they were all exaggerating because they're miserable prostitutes who wanted to get one over on men

>>220874866There are some pretty damn good picks in this thread. Unexpected because this board is typically full of fags. My favourite Western is probably HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER (1973), but I really enjoy OUTLAW JOSEY WALES (1976), too. For anyone that likes the Spaghetti-style, I recommend THE BIG GUNDOWN (1967) and SABATA (1969). Both star Lee Van Cleef; they're fast-paced, have great set pieces, and music.
>>220891039Got any pre-Clint favorites?

>>220890478Shane is boring as shit.

>>220891063- The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962)- True Grit (1969)- Red River (1948)- Winchester 73 (1950)- The Gunfighter (1950)- My Darling Clementine (1946)- Drums Along the Mohawk (1939)- The Big Sky (1952).All excellent. Check out THE CULPEPPER CATTLECOMPANY (1972). A revisionist Western that was largely ignored when it was released. Deserved more attention.

Okay /tv/ since this thread is shit, what's your top 5, non-ranked, any order westerns excluding any starring Clint Eastwood or directed by Sergio Leone1. Quigley Down Under2. My name is Trinity3. Red Sun4. Quick and the Dead5. Magnificent SevenLets see em
Unforgiven is a meh movie that tries to subvert the genre. The best western is the good the bad and the ugly.Everything else fails to match it. Some come somewhat close, some do not, and that includes unforgiven, as well as tombstone, once upon a time in the west, the searchers and all others mentioned in this thread>best soundtrack>best cast>best story >civil war is a back drop for the hunt for gold>3 man gun fight will never be topped>dynamic between blondie and tuco wont be toppedAnyone who says anything else is better is simply wrong because it is the measuring stick for every other western and theres a reaspn that it is. It is the best one
>>220882096The fact that you were uncomfortable with a realistic display of violence makes it clear that you are not masculine.
>>220874866Yall niggas just dont know
>>220894437>it tries to subvert the genreWhat exactly do you think "the genre" is? It's in line with 50s westerns.You like Sergio Leone movies, which is not the same as liking westerns.
>>220874866You are wrong.
>>220894672>You like Sergio Leone movies, which is not the same as liking westerns.I like non Leone movies>josey wales>pale rider>the searchers >big JakeI simply acknowledge which western is the best.
>>220895305If the first thing you say to its credit is the soundtrack is good, your criteria for what makes a good western is juvenile. No wonder your favorite of the handful you've seen is the most shallow.
>>220874866no, it's The Searchers or The Wild Bunch
>>220875342Not only the best western but the GOAT of all movies
>>220892438Watch High Noon and The Searchers.
>>220874866>not directed by John Fordsorry but it can't possibly be the best
>>220877459>youtube
>>220895305>>220895761>>220896153>The SearchersNo matter how many times I watch this flick I still don't understand what is so great about it. Ford made plenty of better westerns, My Darling Clementine, Fort Apache, Wagon Master, Stagecoach, all far better pictures. Even She Wore a Yellow Ribbon is better. I think Ford is arguably the greatest director who ever lived but "The Searchers" specifically never impressed me that much.
>>220896460It's sublime in how it portrays wrath and revenge and how easily it can turn a loving family man into a cold killer if they allow it, and it's done with just enough ambiguity to encourage reflection about the plot and characters, which become more understandable upon subsequent viewings. There's more layers to the film than in any of Ford's other movies

>>220892438Gary Cooper was a real life cowboy that began his Hollywood career as a stunt horse rider. He's the real deal. John Wayne, not so authentic, but still really cool, anyone who hates him is a faggot.

>>220896460I also agree it's not his best at all, but The Searchers is far and away the most accessible of the John Ford westerns, especially for a modern audience so I understand why it's the most respected Ford film.>it's in color and shot beautifully, but Ford's real masterpieces are all black & white.>the narrative is very straightforward, unlike Fort Apache and the Calvary trilogy which are oddly "slice of life" and don't have a concrete plot.>John Wayne's best performance and the clearest example of a "Fordian Hero" who builds a society he would never be able to live in.
My favorite Western is The Good, The Bad, and the Weird.
>>220896924To be fair, Wayne was born in 1907 and did ride a horse to school every day. I think he's a better actor than Coops, too. Even in his first movie at age 23, he had a ton of charisma and could deliver a monologue like nobody else, and that's without even setting out to be an actor. He just stumbled into it
>>220896924Wayne was the bigger faggot for not allowing "The Shootist" to follow the book. Because "The Shootist" was weak, it left an opening for "Unforgiven".
>>220897144John Wayne was a man of integrity and would never shoot someone in the back. I respect him for it.
>>220875711Made kek. Nice
>>220874866Don’t think anyone has mentioned this kino yet.
>>220897445It was the kinoest of them all
>>220897445I did >>220897033
>>220880233It's because he was sober all the movie, once drunk, he reverts to being the killer he was when young (and always drunk).

I like almost all of Errol Flynn's movies but his westerns are especially underrated, pretty sure he was the only non-American cowboy star
>>220897861Yul Brynner
>>220874866>kino walks through the door
Unforgiven was a very disappointing 7/10 filmFor me it's High Noon
>>220874866>kino cums through the back door
>>220897861I love Errol Flynn too, and you’re right, his westerns are underrated
>>220876482>all the woke tranny presidents like it
big western fan/autist here>ctrl f>0 lonesome doveeach and everyone of you are mouth breathing FUCKING RETARD MONKEYSALLOFYOU
>>220898270That's a TV show. We're talking films here.
>>220874926>they hated him because he spoke the truthClint Eastwood sucks
>>220892681Souless faggot
>>220898270>every other spoken line is about prostitutes or prostitutionToo crass for me
>>220876814I saw that in theaters
>>220898082This one is awesome. Incredible suspense the whole time, and very bloody which is great. Probably the best non-Sergio/Corbucci spaghetti western.
This is a really fun crazy movie. Supposedly John Milius’ screenplay was much better than the movie itself turned out, and you can definitely see the tone issues that arise from John Houston departing from the script, but it’s still a great movie. I liked The Westerner (1940) a little bit better, because it was a more serious movie, but this is still a gem. The Stacy Keach/Bad Bob scene alone is worth watching it for.
i like gun go bang
>>220882096>>220887061You clearly understand but you're arguing with idiots.I agree with you, but this board is full of low IQ children.
>>220881113That’s a good one. Poor guy just wants to talk to his wife for five minutes and then get out of town but people are always trying to kill him. Real bleak movie, sad look at the western and the hopelessness of outlaw life.
>>220888317>For some reason these haven't been mentioned yetI'll addThe White BuffaloCharles Bronson in an admitted ripoff of Jaws. Not the greatest Western but a fun flick
>>220881893>his character is clearly a psychopath if some sort and in the very first scene he appears in he's being put on trial and it's clear that they're doing their best to sentence him to deathHe bought a stolen horse from a guy and then rode into town on it, then the owner of the horse, a friend of “judge” Roy Bean sees him on it. Then Cooper bullshits his way into stalling his own hanging long enough for the guy who sold him the stolen horse to show up. He wasn’t a psychopath, he was just a saddle bum who almost got hung by mistake.Then he spends the rest of the movie trying to make peace between the cattlemen and the homesteaders. He makes friends with both sides and understands the viewpoints of both sides, but ultimately sides with the homesteaders when Roy Bean and his cattlemen buddies go against their word. Then he lures Bean to a Lilly Langtree show and tries to arrest him but has to shoot him instead.
>>220899154This one bored the piss out of me
>>220901103Sucks for you
>>220901081>Bean's obsession with Lilly LangtreeEven in the old west, they had waifus
Honestly, Rango should be in consideration, because a man can't walk out on his own story.
>>220901215I watched that a few weeks ago. Cute movie, but I can't in good conscience rate it among the best westerns like some people do in these threads
>Kirk Douglas did this in one take
>>220892018>>220877490If you like Assassination, you should watch I Shot Jesse James. Assassination took a lot from it.
>>220901874Not a western
>>220902054Yes it is.
>>220892438I think Hondo is badass, but not a dark movie if that's what you're looking for. Just a tough character in a harsh world
>>220902077>set in 1920s MexicoBy no definition can this be considered a western. There is sand in the movie, I'll give you that.
>>220902129>it doesn't matter if it looks like a western, deals with the same themes of a western and it's considered a western by practically everyone, it can't be a western because it wasn't set in the American frontier between the California Gold Rush of 1849 and the closing of the frontier in 1890,[2]:557
>>220874866I like High Noon
>>220902230It "looks like a western" as in it has sand in the movie? Is that what the genre means to you? There's sand, so it's a western?
>>220876814It sucks Viggo declined doing a sequel
>>220902261Yes, sand it's the only western-like thing about the treasure of the sierra madre, in fact it's the only thing that movie is about. This applies to lawrence of arabia, ben-hur and attack of the clones too and they're all indistinguishable from sierra madre and westerns as well.
>>220902343That's one down. Now what are "the themes of a western"? Greed? That's the genre in a nutshell? Spaghetti brain. Is Fargo a western to you? Steve Buscemi?
>>220875711Came here to post this, would have added if you disagree you're a zoomie
The good times are comin'When they do, I'll be thereWith my bowed feet firmly planted way up there...In mid-air
>>220876814Desaturated poster gives mid vibes but since you insist. I'll come after you if it sucks
>>220874866It’s actually rio bravo
For me, it's Pale Rider.
>>220874866Unforgiven can't be the best western because it is thematically inverted.
>>220875020this. the movie is only good because of little bill and english bob
