Best Western (30 replies)

No...not the hotel chain

Western movies

I'm sure there are lots of fans of Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, Gene Autrey, Randolph Scott and Roy Rodgers (dubbed King Of the Cowboys)

I do prefer the more recent Westerns though (made last 50 years or less) especially that focus on Billy The Kid and Wyatt Earp , these two figures themselves have spawned scores of Westerns down the decades

Thought 'Wyatt Earp' that starred Kevin Costner was excellent as was 'Dances With Wolves' ....

Only a year or so earlier Kurt Russell played Earp in 'Tombstone'

Remake of '310 to Yuma' (Christian Bale and Russell Crowe) was very good

'Young Guns' (both) although Kris Kristofferson played a good role as Billy in 'Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid' that was from early 70's and featured a bit role for Bob Dylan who also did the soundtrack

Always enjoy most of Clint's Westerns .....his best two IMO were 'High Plains Drifter' and 'Unforgiven'.....feel the Spaghetti westerns are very dated now but did enjoy them all first time around but Eastwood did become a household figure with the man with no name roles .....Lee Van Cleef looked meaner than a rattlesnake too
