Has anyone ever seen the 70mm print of The Big Trail (1930)? It's one of the most amazingly shot films I've ever seen. I only saw that print once in the 90s on AMC back when all that channel ever showed was old westerns with no commercials. I miss that. It was on again a few months back on TCM but it must have been the 35mm version cause it didn't look the same. I just remember the redwood trees looking so huge and detailed it really was something.
1. Unforgiven 2. Tombstone 3. Rio Bravo 4. The Good, The Bad & The Ugly 5. The Searchers
6. Shane 7. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance 8. The Outlaw Josey Wales 9. The Big Country 10. Stagecoach 11. High Noon 12. Once Upon A Time In The West 13. My Darling Clementine 14. For A Few Dollars More 15. Johnny Guitar
Good (or better) 21st century westerns (not ranked):
Django Unchained The Hateful Eight The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs True Grit 3:10 To Yuma The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford Open Range Hostiles The Salvation The Revenant The Homesman Appaloosa The Magnificent Seven Slow West The Power Of The Dog News Of The World Seraphim Falls
Tv movies: Deadwood Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee
Comedy Westerns: Shanghai Noon The Sisters Brothers
Horror/Adventure Westerns: Bone Tomahawk
Modern Westerns (sometimes disputed if they count as westerns, for others not): No Country For Old Men Hell Or High Water The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada Wind River Brokeback Mountain
Located in Australia «Westerns»: The Proposition The Nightingale
The Searchers Ride the High Country Red River The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance If The Misfits counts (it probably doesn't since it's set in (then) contemporary times) that is my fifth pick, otherwise I might go with The Violent Men. Probably not a great movie but one of those that I can turn on and watch anytime and enjoy it.
The Misfits is considered a modern western. But I agree that it is a bit difficult to place those movies in with the traditional westerns. Same goes for Australian Westerns, Sci-fi/Horror Westerns, Cartoon Westerns, Osterns (set in Russia).
Blood Meridian is a book and it’s the best piece of Western media I’ve ever consumed
who among us isn't at least a little sweet on toadvine
