Best Western (movie) of all time and why Remove this text

I say High Noon with Gary Cooper. One of the first films that wasn't all straight out good versus evil, but still really captures a story of good versus evil at its core. And it is all about rising up to a challenge. When you seem all alone. Plus a cool song. And it has lots of little nuances. For instance the racial aspect. The previous affairs. The movie time = real time.

High Plains Drifter was a ghost story, not a western.

Fort Apache, Oh My Darling Clementine, the original Gunfight at OK Corral. All Black and white classics I think.

i.e. most of you have never seen them.

Unforgiven

I love this film. I love a protaganist who is actually evil. There was no good or evil in this film. It's a western, but it's modern so it doesn't look outdated.

best soundtrack goes to the good, the bad, and the ugly without a doubt. I love that score. Metallica loved it too, they'd open their concerts with the score of that movie during the showdown at the end.

I think the "Ugly" is as good as "The Good" in that film, and "The bad" doens;t get that mcuh screen time.

Who can hate Tuco, Blondie, and Angel Eyes?

Unforgiven was a little too harsh for me. I like my Westerns somewhat easier.

The Good, the Bad and Ugly certainly ranks up there. I also have a soft spot for Hang 'Em High.

What was the one with an old Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda? I liked that one a lot, too.

Uh, don't think so... Stewart was an old sheriff who comes out of semi-retirement to defend a town against Fonda's villain...
