"Winchester '73" & "Shenandoah" with James Stewart.
"Tom Horn" & "Nevada Smith" with Steve McQueen. "Geronimo" with Chuck Connors. <<<KRaZy4KaRdZ>>>

"Cat Ballou", with Lee Marvin winning an Oscar for playing 2 roles. At his acceptance speech, he said something like, "Somewhere, there is a horse who deserves half of this award."
"Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" is an acknowledged classic, and one of my favorites, but don't really think if fits into the "western" category as much as it does "musicals". I never think of it as a western.
My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".

"Cat Ballou" was a treat -- drunken cowboy trying to ride on drunk horse, what a classic scene!
In a similar vein, I have equally fond memories of "Paleface" and "Son of Paleface." Not sure if western parodies count, but submitted FWIW. |

Lee Marvin must have been talking about that classic scene where the horse is slumped against the wall with it's legs crossed. Supposedly, horses can't cross their legs. But the trainer on the shoot got him to do it. The still shot from that scene is classic! Vandy

High Noon & Shane is usually hailed as the best westerns ever, and Eastwood remade Shane as Pale Rider. A little movie trivia for you...High Noon is one of the few movies shot in "real time," i.e. the elapsed on-screen time is equal to the elapsed time viewing the movie. 63 minutes or so, if I recall correctly.

Common myth about the film. The only reason I know is it was my student's favorite film in China. They really loved the old, American west for some reason, but then, don't we all?

Lee Marvin and his horse, both drunk as skunks, leaned up against the wall, a great and hilarious picture! There is another scene from that movie that got me. Fonda's father lying dead in the coffin, beside the coffin is a candlestick with 7 lit candles. Marvin barges in, gloriously drunk, and someone says: "Sssh, can't you see what's happened?" And Marvin sings "Happy birthday to you" and blows out the candles... Bjørn

My favorite westerns would be "Big Jake" with the Duke trying to deal with the 20th Century and the second one escapes me but it was released in 3D. Wayne ended up romancing a woman with a no-good husband who tries to ambush him.

I wondered what that was about!
"Hondo" that's the name of the Wayne western I couldn't think of before....and I can't believe no one has mention "How The West Was Won," a little over the top but a lot of fun

I can't believe that no one has yet mentioned Terrence Hill and Bud Spencer. I've always loved their campy Italian "My Name is Trinity", "Trinity is Still My Name" and "Troublemakers" westerns. These will forever remain at the top of my favorite western list. One of the great unsung comedy team greats, to be sure! I wonder if they're out on DVD. Haven't thought about them in years!

"Boot Hill", "They call me Trinity" and "They Still Call Me Trinity". Anyone remember the name of the Magician who did the hand inserts for the card game in They Still Call Me Trinity?

Why, so you did, Vandy! I completely overlooked it. Nice to know that there's at least one other Spencer/Hill fan in the lot!

What's not to like?!? The scene after the card game where Trinity continually slaps the card sharp and draws on him and slaps him some more and takes the card sharps gun and returns it and slaps him again is hilarious!
I also like the scenes where the boys go home and visit with Mom and Pop. The dinner scene is classic! Or Bud Spencer in the confessional. Great stuff.
