Do any of you like western movies? If you do what are your favorites? Here are some of mine:

High Noon- I like the fact that it's set in real time and they often show a clock, plus it has a hero that actually shows some fear about the upcoming shootout.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly- It has a great score and I think it's my favorite of the Eastwood movies but I like his others too, like Fistful of Dollars.

Shane- Good cinematography and some classic lines.

The Magnificent Seven- Good movie even though it's a remake of Seven Samurai.

High Noon is a classic and the clock was brilliant, but I actually felt it slowed the pacing somewhat. It's like when you sit and stare at a clock, time seems to pass by rather slowly. Good movie though.

Once Upon a Time in the West is probably my favorite western, with The Good The Bad and The Ugly in a close second. Sergio Leone put a lot of style in his films and he broke out of the boundary of what Hollywod had declared a western. Leone's A Fistful of Dollars was nearly a shot-by-shot remake of the samurai film Yojimbo, but that didn't make it a bad film.

John Ford's westerns were good too, but his films were completely Hollywood, not that Hollywoods bad. The Searchers and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon are two of my favorites of his. His best, by personal opinion, was The Grapes of Wrath, but that's not a western, so never mind.

I also liked Pale Rider and the Eastwood directed Unforgiven.

The only western I've ever seen is The Outlaw Josey Wales with Clint. I'm changing that immediately.

Blazin Saddles
The Good The Bad and the Ugly
A Fist Full of Dollars.

I haven't seen some of those you guys have mentioned so I'll have to check them out. I looked up Once Upon a Time in the West and it sounds really good. I agree about the pacing of High Noon. Several times I found myself wondering if it was almost noon yet.

i liked the quick and the dead.
