Re: Your favorite Western Movies
magnificent seven - despite it being a remake of seven samurai, i loved this more! the characteristics/mannerisms/idiosyncracies of the actors made the characters more real for me
- charles bronson rattling off previous jobs and how much he was paid as he chops wood... when he was told the job was only going to pay $20, the reaction on his face is priceless
- robert vaughn's steely cool exterior in turmoil with his fearful/'lost it' interior was cool
- steve mcqueen continously trying to upstage yul brynner with his fiddling of the hat, the fingers counting how many gunslingers they recruited so far, the shaking/checking of the shotgun shell when he rides shotgun with yul brynner in the beginning... all great acting
- classic line/scene from james coburn - horst bruckholz says 'that's the greatest shot i ever saw' after coburn was tracking a desperado riding a horse trying to get away and coburn kills him with a shot from his six-shooter - coburn's reply, "the worst!! i was aiming at the horse!'
-------------
the combo of clint eastwood, sergio leone and ennio morricone in the man with no name trilogy is awesome!
once upon a time in the west is just as good
tombstone
the wild bunch (peckinpah was a huge inspiration to john woo)
*** not mentioned so far ***
silverado - i liked, but not as much as the others

Re: Your favorite Western Movies
speaking of remakes/homages/ripoffs/copies:
1) Seven Samurai
Magnicent Seven (and the 3 unofficial or official sequels)
Battle Beyond the Stars (Roger Corman sci-fi version of SS... Robert Vaughn has a role!)
some Hercules or Gladiator movie with Seven in the title - don't recall offhand
old man memory... there may be some more
2) Yojimbo
A Fistful of Dollars
Bruce Willis in Walter Hill's Last Man Standing
David Carradine in the B-movie, probably straight to video - The Warrior and the Princess
Ti Lung in Shaw Brothers' Kung Fu Instructor
old man memory

Red Sun is good too - Charles Bronson, Toshiro Mifune, Alain Delon - although this wasn't a pure western like the others
as a kid i liked Master Gunfighter starring Tom Laughlin who played Billy Jack - but rewatched recently and well, it wasn't too good... lol at me

'Winchester '73" with Jimmy Stewart.
Any Audie Murphy western, especially 'Destry Rides Again.'
