High Noon.


I liked everything on your list except Quick & the Dead which I considered silly and trite and Unforgiven, which didn't do much for me. Odd, they both had Hackman.

* RIO BRAVO

* TRUE GRIT

* THE COWBOYS

* THE SONS OF KATIE ELDER

* THE SEARCHERS

* THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN

* UNFORGIVEN

* THE SHOOTIST

* HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER

* THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY

* THE LONG RIDERS (a guilty pleasure)

* TOMBSTONE (another guilty pleasure)

Honorable mentions:

* ONE EYED JACKS

* EL DORADO

* PAT GARRETT AND BILLY THE KID (director's cut only)

* RIDE THE HIGH COUNTRY

* MAJOR DUNDEE

* HIGH NOON (I know it's a classic, but it just doesn't electrify me for some reason)

Special category

* BLAZING SADDLES (it had to be on this list somewhere)

Oh man, how could I have forgotten SHANE and THE LONG RIDERS. Two great films.

Yea, QUICK AND THE DEAD wasn't that good, but I liked it.

I'm going to have to check out THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE and THE SONS OF KATIE ELDER, both of which I can rent locally.

Burgomaster thanks for the correction on ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST.

Deej, I'm going to get the the rest of those JOHN WAYNE movies by this summer.

I also forgot WILD BILL. Really liked this one.

[Chadzilla]

Once Upon A Time in the West
The Wild Bunch
Rio Bravo
High Plains Drifter
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Pale Rider
Unforgiven
The Shootist

[Deej]

Yeah,Scott, I also liked Wild Bill, I think that puts us in the minority though. The Man Who Shot Liberty Vlance is a wicked good movie. The Sons of Katie Elder is also pretty tough, George Kennedy is actually menacing in it and it features a kick ass fist fight.

Have you seen John Wayne in Hondo? It's John Wayne's Shane rip-off, that aside, it's still a good flick. I first saw it in 3-D at a revival house.
