Favorite western movie.

The Magnificent Seven? anyone?

Yes, a remake of the Seven Samurai, but still, great movie.

also, The Big Country. Gregory Peck Jean Simmons. excellent.

Gregory Peck, Charlton Heston, Burl Ives, Chuck Conners (playing a weanie type bully)

Great movie,,,

Possibly the best western theme music ever,,,
Even better than the Magnificent Seven theme song.

I second Silverado. It had a really great cast, and it was just plain a lot of fun. My favorite line was from Danny Glover "I don't want to kill you, and you don't want to be dead!"
 
All mentioned are great, I am trying to collect the old ones, just got "Outlaw Josey Wales", what I am really looking for is "the Great Northfield Minnesota Raid". Pretty good movie, and haven't seen it for a while
 
How about this one?

The Grey Fox....Richard Farnsworth.

It is late cowboy era, but I thought it was great. I was able to score a DVD version. It turned out to be a bootleg and didn't last very long. Now it is not available in DVD or it is at least hard to find.

Scenery is great and there is a train in it too.

delmar, thats a great line. another one of danny glover's best lines is: "I'm too old for this *&^%". (Lethal Weapon 1987)
 
"High Noon" was a good movie. Cooper was before my time, but I'll always remember that one(I saw someone mentioned gary cooper in recent post). Appaloosa was fun to watch too+I hope hollywood makes more 310's to yuma, etc
 
Best movie rant has got to be Edmond O'Brien as Sykes from The Wild Bunch.

The Wild Bunch said:
Tector Gorch: Silver rings.
Dutch Engstrom: [upset] "Silver rings", your butt! Them's washers! Damn!
Lyle Gorch: Washers. Washers. We shot our way out of that town for a dollar's worth of steel holes!
Pike Bishop: They set it up.
Lyle Gorch: "They"? Who in the hell is "they?"
Sykes: [laughs hysterically] "They"? Why, they is the plain and fancy they, that's who "they" is! Caught you, didn't they? Tied a tin can to your tail. Led you in and waltzed you out again. Oh my, what a bunch! Big tough ones, hunh? Here you are with a handful of holes, a thumb up your ass, and a big grin to pass the time of day with. They? Who the hell is "they?"

No one's mentioned it yet, but a really good one is McCabe and Mrs. Miller. The music is dated, but Julie Christie is HOT, and Warren Beaty's acting is just right.

And finally, The Ballad of Cable Hogue, another Sam Peckenpah movie.
 
Gotta vote for Lonesome Dove. Have watched it multiple times and enjoy it just as much every time.. (feel the same about the book having read it several times)
 
(PARAPHRASE ONLY) "You hear that sound? That's you choking on your own blood." Jack Nicholson speaking to Marlon Brando. Randy Quaid was in the movie too.

"The Missouri Breaks" (1976)
 
Wow, the Wild Bunch only got mentioned twice? It was one the GREATEST western flics in the history of films, it also had the best two lines in all of moviedom, no, not Zhillsauditor's pick, but towards the final scene after a night of frolic and drink the WILD BUNCH are buttoning up and loadin and bucklin lookin around and Warren oates character lyle Gorch says "Let's go." and William Holden's character Pike Bishop says "Why not?" a rhetorical question not needing an answer...Anyway, two great lines.
 
"Will Penny" and "Hombre". My favorite line in "Hombre" is when Newman asks Richard Boone, "How are you going to get back down that hill?".
 
Warren oates character lyle Gorch says "Let's go." and William Holden's character Pike Bishop says "Why not?"

You have the speakers reversed--Bishop says "Let's go" and Gorch says "Why not?".

I think the most famous line, however, is from the beginning of the movie: "If they move, kill 'em". Sam Peckenpah's biography is titled that, as well as a song by Primal Scream.
 
Zhillsauditor, right you are. I usually watch it every two or three years, but haven't seen my VHS copy for some time and the little woman hasn't picked up a DVD of it. What size lens do ya think Peckinpah used for the walk up the street?
