alittlebitfrench Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Here is a question.What is the best Western film of all time ?Big debate in out house at the moment.I reckon it is between 'the good the bad and the ugly' or 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid'. So what do you think ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alittlebitfrench Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 Blazing Saddles....lolI forgot that one....timeless comedy.True Grit is a good shout. I don't think I have seen the original but I have seen the 2010 version which was ideed excellent.Has anyone seen Godless on Netflix ? Not a Western film as such but rather a mini series of films. Flippin eck that is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinBretagne Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I love them all, even the really cr@p ones. Does The Horse Whisperer count? Very few things encourage me to spent time in the USA but the scenery in that film certainly does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinBretagne Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I’ve just added Godless to my Netflix list. I’d seen it listed before but the blurb hadn’t sold it to me. Hopefully your recommendation will put me right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alittlebitfrench Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 Do you know what Brit.I watched the first episode thinking I would not watch another.I then watched the whole series in one day. Started at 3pm and finished in the early hours.Jeff daniels is just superb. If you like sci fi, 'The Expanse' is another good one. I love Netflix.

Le martin-pêcheur Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 How about "Once upon a time in the West"Charles Bronson with the haunting harmonica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Yes, the harmonica was haunting. Let’s ask which Western music was best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le martin-pêcheur Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 The theme music to Once upon a time in the West" must rank highly, as well as the film- I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patf Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 For once I agree with you ALBF - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.Before I saw that I was going to say Shane - before your time, I think. But still a classic.Here's the final shootout - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NE3mHhpGV2AJack Palance as the classic baddie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alittlebitfrench Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 I have watched 'Shane' many years ago Patf.I need to watch it again.Not that I watch UK telly, but I saw 'the last train from gun hill' a few weeks back. That is a good film as well !!!Nobody has mentioned 'a fist full of dollars'; 'a few dollars more'.....and not forgetting 'unforgiven'.Here is a trailer for 'godless' that is on Netflix.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMUiRYoc76ABang Bang.

napoleon Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 High Noon for film and music (one song anyway). I guess this one was too old to be known by the younger members.Also loved most of the films already mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 My candidate for the best western is:-The Outlaw Josie Wales.I just like the way it is made and the characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loiseau Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Not sure Hopalong Cassidy counts, as it was a TV series I seem to remember.I think I have to say "Cat Ballou" - with great singing from Nat King Cole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
