If you like Westerns, you'll probably love it.
And even if you don't like Westerns. You'll probably still like it. |
What? You didn’t like the uplifting joy of Unforgiven?

Unforgiven is uplifting in the end. Never has a film made me want to celebrate working a regular job while raising a couple kids than in Clint's greatest movie.

Since we're on Westerns, here's a fine, slightly controversial, ranking of the 50 best Westerns ever made: Vulture.com

Pretty good list... I would also add:
- The Great Silence (1968)
- The Big Gundown (1967)
- A Pistol For Ringo (1965)
- Day Of Anger (1967) |

I have a soft spot for both Silverado and Tombstone, both of which are well executed and beautiful films.

My personal favorite. Val Kilmer deserved something for that Doc Holliday performance.

I also think Pale Rider is criminally underrated when lists are being made. It is Eastwood’s homage to Shane via the man with no name and his necessary buildup to Unforgiven (he had the screenplay at the time).

Nvm Day of Anger was already on there. I’ll substitute it with Duck You Sucker, probably Sergio Leone’s most overlooked western. |

One of my favorite westerns. Rowdy Yates to a bad ass westerner.

Happy to see Sisters Brothers sneak in there even though I get it's taking the spot of deserving flicks like Pale Rider or Silverado. The 2010s was a weak decade for proper westerns, but Meek's and Sisters both seem like strong genre inclusions with staying power.
Ulzana's Raid and Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid would be my picks for unfortunate omission.

| Unforgiven is so good that it's underrated, if anything. My next-favorite Western is probably Open Range. |

What are your guys thoughts on Robert Rodriguez? I actually liked Once Upon a Time in Mexico whenever I saw it (years and years ago).
But I just watched the prequel trailers El Maricahi and Desperado. And they looked too funny and ridiculous to give a try.

Desperado is fun. And Salma.

Costner certainly seems to have a comfort level with the Western genre. |
