    Wild wild west

    Even had its own song


    But in seriousness...a fistful of dollars

    Wild wild West with Will Smith was the biggest piece of shit movie ever. To anyone who watched the TV show. Salma Hayek couldn't even save the movie.
    It's unwatchable.

    Westerns though really are the best genre. There needs to be more


    And unforgiven isn't on the list i noticed.
    The Unforgiven is one of those I can't turn off if it comes up on HBO.
    To anyone who hasnt seen it (talking about you @backthepack ) the black sidekick dies.

    Lonsome Dove (4 part for TV I know but still counts)
    I love Clint, the Duke, Paul Newman, etc., etc., but for my money, Robert Duvall, did the best job as an actor in westerns. He and Tommy Lee Jones in Lonesome Dove were just phenomenal. Cutting cards for a poke with Lori darling - I love that shit.

    The Outlaw Josey Wales
    Josey Wales is the best of the Eastwood collection and covers his other worthy entries. If you just watched Josey Wales you would get it about what his appeal is as a western character. Unforgiven is a close second

    The Ten Bears scene with Wales is a classic. It is a good day to die.

    I went through a brief period of life where I would buy Redman Plug chewing tobacco because I wanted to be tuff like Clint in Josey Wales. Nothing tuffer than slicing off a chunk on plug tobacco with your knife.

    It's always about the blacks.

    John Wayne The Cowboys.

    Has to be John Wayne.

    Although Unforgiven and Tombstone are favorites also.

    Young Bruce Dern here was perhaps the most evil of western movie villains in this one. I mean how many times does someone kill the Duke other than the Shootist when he was dying anyway both in the film and real life. Lee Marvin in Liberty Vallance is high on the list too of western bad guys. Lee Van Clef too.

    The Outlaw Josey Wales
    Couldn't guess how many times I've seen Josey Wales...or at least parts of it when it's on

    So many great scenes and lines, and Josey's character and view of life is right on for me

    Serious stuff like "dying is easy for men like you and me..." and funny badass stuff like
    "How is it for stains ?"

    I didn't see Josey Wales until this past year so it's hard to me to compare it with his others.

    But it's fucking awesome.

    So is high plains drifter.

    I don't even think they could make those movies today because people's heads would explode at his level of badassery
