Favorite western movie.

Not sure what Peckenpah filmed in, but if you don't have HD and blu ray yet, The Wild Bunch is a great reason to purchase it. The desert scenes are so much better in all westerns on HD--the desert just comes to life. I was fortunate enough to see The Wild Bunch back in the late 90s on the big screen when it was re-released.
I am really kicking myself- all the movies I've seen&never once the 'wild bunch'. that drought is comin to an end

You've never seen the Wild Bunch? -- he asked in his most annoying Eustice Haney voice. You're in for a treat.
 
First time I saw it was in 69 or 70 @ Long Bien military base. Halfway thru the flic we got sirens indicating incoming, mortars or rockets, it was a big base. Finally the First Sergeant had to unplug the projector to get people out of the hooch and into bunkers. Great movie.
 
Here it is....

.....Every line that Richard Farnsworth spoke in "The Grey Fox", but especially, "If you come at me again, I'll put a window in your skull, so help me." Then, "I apologize for this disturbance, Gentlemen."
 
Not sure about the realistic part but if you like old gun movies , The Professionals and The Wild Bunch are packed with turn of the century weaponry.
 
Yes, "The Wild Bunch" is one of the best, not only because of the story or filming, but it had several actors near the end of their careers, just like the characters in the film. Great actors from a previous era. None better. Holden, Ryan, Borgnine, O'Brien, Johnson, Oates.

They don't make actors like these anymore. Real men with real lives previous to film. Now they're just prissy wannabees. Sad.
 
I've managed to accumulate a fair assortment over the years, including most of the titles mentioned so far.

When I've "just gotta" watch a western though, the ones I'm most likely to reach for these days are: "Barbarosa" ("You been s--t outta luck ever since you was born, ain't ya?"), "Unforgiven" ("You shoulda thought of that before you decided to decorate your saloon with my friend!"), "Open Range", or "The Outlaw Josey Wales".

On the increasingly infrequent occasion that I've got six+ hours free at one time, "Lonesome Dove".
 
Hondo and Unforgiven. The line when Eastwood is leaving town at the end the movie. Cant remember it all so someone help me
