Tombstone is the all time greatest western flick

3:10 to Yuma is okay but if you mention any Clint Eastwood behind apart from MAYBE Unforgiven

3:10 had a great cast and some amazing direction. But how can any of that compare to Val Kilmer in his prime being a TB-riddled humble psychopath? Or the perfect combination of gunplay, romance, and world building?
1 diggyjim 2019-07-10
The remake?? lol
1 Richard__Mongler 2019-07-10
Obviously, because nobody gives a fuck about the first 2 times it was made
1 diggyjim 2019-07-10
People that like westerns do. The remake is fucking terrible. Great cast but an idiot director who doesn't know what he's doing. He completely butchered the story into some kind of explodey blockbuster.
He has Bale and Crowe, two master of the understated working in the movie but he has to add Ben Foster with his overacting, scenery chewing psycho act he plays in every single movie. Because he knows the type of wetbrains who like this movie also like capeshit and only know about Shane because of capeshit.
And it was only made once time before and that movie is a mastepiece. Go watch another Avengers movie.

Oh I see you actually unironically like Glenn Ford don't you, boomer? I bet you think John Wayne was a good actor too
1 diggyjim 2019-07-10
No I like good movies. Lemme guess you really love Tarantino and think Shawshank Redemption is one of the best movies ever as well.
How many comic book character action figures do you have in your room?
1 Richard__Mongler 2019-07-10
Shawshank is one of the most boring wastes of time I've ever seen and I'm not a downy so I don't watch capeshit. You're slightly right though. I don't watch a ton of westerns, I'm a horror faggot. Give me a Vincent Price or Boris Karloff over that faggot Glenn Ford 100x over
1 diggyjim 2019-07-10
Vincent Price's best movie isn't even a horror movie.
1 Richard__Mongler 2019-07-10
I know it's just a TV show but The 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo still counts

1 bareballzthebitch 2019-07-10
all the Eastwood spaghetti westerns are better
Outlaw Josey Wales is one of the best flicks of all time
John Wayne is great in Red River
1 TaysSecondGussy 2019-07-10
Oh wow. I’ve only seen parts of that.
No one ever remembers High Plains Drifter either.
1 bareballzthebitch 2019-07-10
it's probs my fav JW flick tbh some of the other earlier ones are ok but after that they get kinda spotty I mean 'true grit' is ok and 'the shootist' was his last movie really but I Red River is very well done. 'The cowboys' is prob 2nd for JW movies.
High Plains Drifter is ok in a spooky way I also like Pale Rider.
But IMHO the spaghetii westerns with eastwood and van cleef (fistful of dollars, for a few dollars more, good the bad and the ugly) are just crazy good classics
1 TaysSecondGussy 2019-07-10
Oh, I mean yeah the Sergio films are untouchable. I’ll have to check some JW stuff one day.
1 diggyjim 2019-07-10
If we leave out The Searchers, Rio Bravo, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Stagecoach.....
1 Butch_Patterson 2019-07-10
Drifter is amazing. Pale Rider is cheesy but good. Unforgiven is cliche for a reason, it's hands down one of the best movies ever.
The Three Burial of Melquiades Estrada is absolutely not what I was expecting, and it fucking kills.
1 TaysSecondGussy 2019-07-10
Nice recs.
1 capthazelwoodsflask 2019-07-10
High Plains Drifter is a classic, and he plays a total radical centrist.
Unforgiven is one of the best movies of any category.
Tombstone is just historical fan fiction like Young Guns.
1 DoctorFahrenheit 2019-07-10
You mean the movie where Clint Eastwood just rapes some broad who then runs around screaming about how he raped her and everyone is just like "lmao you liked it"
1 TaysSecondGussy 2019-07-10
Wut? High Plains Drifter? I thought that was the spooky ghost one. Tbh it’s been like a decade plus since I’ve seen most of these.
1 DoctorFahrenheit 2019-07-10
It is.
1 TaysSecondGussy 2019-07-10
Holy shit, don’t remember that.
1 Richard__Mongler 2019-07-10
Josey Wales was fine. John Wayne is a boomer meme because they had no better actors for the genre
1 diggyjim 2019-07-10
Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, Gary Cooper, Randolph Scott.
You need to watch more movies.
1 Richard__Mongler 2019-07-10
Gary Cooper is the only name on that list that's entirely respectable
1 TrailerParkBride 2019-07-10
Fuck, I forgot about Red River. Great movie
1 OverSocialization 2019-07-10
Once Upon A Time In America was an amazing spaghetti western
1 AnnoysTheGoys 2019-07-10
No
1 Richard__Mongler 2019-07-10
I only speak Freedom
1 AnnoysTheGoys 2019-07-10
Oh, lo siento, pensé que esto era América

Pour one out for Bill Paxton and Powers Boothe, talk shit on Easteood films again and I'll burn you down

Sukiyaki Western Django
1 Richard__Mongler 2019-07-10
I remember actually being really interested in this when it was first announced. Any good?
1 SharpSuccotash1 2019-07-10
It's worth watching at least once. I was entertained.
1 TrailerParkBride 2019-07-10
Have you seen The Good, the Bad, the Weird?
It's a Korean homage to/parody of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly set in 1930s Manchuria. The plot is only loosely based on the Leone original, but there are some recreations of iconic scenes.
1 TrailerParkBride 2019-07-10
This is OP
For a Few Dollars More is better
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is better
Hang 'Em High is better
Unfogiven is better
And those are just the Eastwoods
Once Upon a Time in the West is better
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is better
Ride the High Country is better
The Magnificent Seven is better
High Noon is better
The Searchers is better than all of those
My Darling Clementine is a better movie about Tombstone than Tombstone
Hell, Duck, You Sucker might be better
1 Richard__Mongler 2019-07-10
Unforgiven is literally the only part you have right
1 TrailerParkBride 2019-07-10
Have you seen The Searchers?
1 diggyjim 2019-07-10
OP is probably 14 years old. Searchers and Clementine are amazing.
1 Richard__Mongler 2019-07-10
I have not

1 FoidBlaster 2019-07-10
You should, it's really good. In my honest opinion it's John Ford's best movie, and that's saying something.
1 DoctorFahrenheit 2019-07-10
It's probably the best John Wayne movie.
1 closedshop 2019-07-10
You're wrong, but I'm still going to upvote you.
1 Richard__Mongler 2019-07-10
epic upboats are all I want, I appreciate your pity
1 MiltonFriedmanisbae1 2019-07-10
Tombstone is my favorite rainy-day, stuck inside, movie. It’s comfy and feels like home and literally every line is quotable and amazing.
Val Kilmer’s Doc is also the most loveable badass ever written.
Unforgiven, though, is a work of art and stands with the greats as one of the best films, not just of the western genre, of all time.

"Are you gonna do something or are you just gonna stand there and bleed?"

Whyyyy Johnny Ringo...You look like someone just walked over your grave....
My favorite line is actually from Wyatt Earp.
"YOU TELL EM I'M COMING! AND HELLS COMING WITH ME, YA HEAR!?"
1 DoctorFahrenheit 2019-07-10
Evidently Mr. Ringo is an educated man. Now I really hate him.
1 Butch_Patterson 2019-07-10
Actually Fistful is a scene by scene remake of a Japanese movie Yojimbo
1 DoctorFahrenheit 2019-07-10
My pap always said Bitch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was gay as fuck and I'm inclined to agree, but otherwise this is a fantastic list.
You're sleeping on Jeremiah Johnson though.
1 DarkRedSmoke 2019-07-10
Unforgiven blows it out of the water.
1 Grundleberries 2019-07-10
Wrong, Brokeback Mountain. ☝️
1 RichEvansSexbot 2019-07-10
Not really a Western but did you ever see Bone Tomahawk?
Also what is your opinion on Big Money Rustlas?
1 epicbaconResurection 2019-07-10
Spaghettis all seem so dated and slow, the modern era of American cinema is much better IMO. Like where’s the comedic relief characters, pop references or black people
1 MG87 2019-07-10
True Grit is damn good, and so is 3:10 to Yuma
1 BidenDiddlesKids 2019-07-10
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is the greatest western of all time, no question
1 shhh_im_ban_evading 2019-07-10
fuck you, Outlaw Josey Wales is best.
