Favorite western movie?

I suppose you don't believe in santa either..?
Man card revoked.
Sentenced to 100 years in California.

Aw shucks, duke was a feminist, and a pitiful actor. Won his academy award because of longevity. He'd never make it past a first movie nowadays. The year he won the AA Midnight Cowboy was up also, either Dustin Hoffman or John Voight kicked his azz acting. Decent USC football player though.

John Wayne fan here. There are those that elite about him not being a award winning actor. John Wayne was a personality. He was what many wanted to be in real life. So he actually was different yes. But to be honest I don't care about awards. I don't care for most award winning actors. Like Tom and cruise and Kevin costner. So if awards is your thing, there's always "the color purple".

A Big Hand For a Little Lady
Maverick
Support Your Local Sheriff.

Not real Westerns but set in the time period.

Unforgiven, and McLintock. Angel & the Bad Man. The original True Grit. Paint Your Wagon, definitely! I liked Dakota, another classic John Wayne.

Nobody mentioned Hombre yet? Are you guys kidding?

Hollywood remade some Kurosawa movies as westerns, but all of them were completely inferior to the originals: The Seven Samurai, Sanjuro, Yohimbo.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, The Villain. The Villain (1979) - IMDb Yep, he was in a western.

All of the Clint Eastwood movies but Tombstone is probably my favorite just for Kilmer's Doc Holliday.

Tombstone is probably my favorite just for Kilmer's Doc Holliday.

I never cared for Kilmer until his version of Doc. Then I was impressed.

Me too. Its hard to believe that he wasn't even nominated for Best Supporting Actor for that. But than again Hollyweird...

I watched Four Faces West (1948) a few days ago and it is now probably my favorite western.
The cinematography is outstanding and I've never seen a more capable rider than the main character. Dang!
Riding horses like a frickin machine!
There's ammo reloading, curing diphtheria, girl, it has it all!
The topper is when finding himself horseless in the middle of nowhere he breaks a steer, saddles it up and rides it to civilization. Woot!
