In all the "Favorite Movie" threads, I never see two of the craziest funny westerns that I have ever seen.

Evil Roy Slade
and
My Name Is Nobody

The first stars John Astin as a bandido so mean that even the Indians wouldn't take him in so he was raised by wolves.

The second is a takeoff on the Wild Bunch and stars Terence Hill and Henry Fonda and the shootin contest in the bar is worth the viewing.
 
Now if we're going to talk about funny westerns you can't forget Blazing Saddles.

Lavan,
You wouldn't know how to get a copy of "Evil Roy Slade" on video would you?

Love the scene in the parlor during the party where he tells the bassist to "play that fiddle like it's supposed to be played (ie shouldered, for those who haven't seen it). Funniest thing I ever saw.

I also "The Cheyenne Social Club" was really good too. Henry Fonda & Jimmy Stewart are cowboys who inherit a wh...a group of sporting ladies at the billiards parlor.

You skipped the funniest line on film, it is in Blazing Saddles.
When the new Sheriff rides out to see his old friends on the railroad gang. One of them says "I thought you were hung". The hero says "I am" and slid straight into the next line. I has to back the movie up and listen to it again to be sure I has heard right as it went by so fast.
 
In its own, weird way, " The Quick and the Dead", Sharon Stone's brain-child. If they had marketed it as a comedy, it probably might have made a little money; but no, they insisted that it was a serious western, and it flopped so hard, it left a crater! Its guns were properly done, but the physics involved was absurd! Rent it and look for a shaft of sunlight taking not one but two bends goin through the BG. If you can't find it you can borrow my copy. I live in the San Diego area.

I SAW My name is Nobody, and you're right. its a classic.

Another great funny "shootin iron" flick--Texas Across the River. Dean Martin. Joey Bishop as a wiseacre indian who has all the best lines. I lost count of how many times Dean Martin gets shot in the keister with an arrow. I guess you had to be there...
 
A modern western with no guns (1960s?), but I liked "The Rounders". Glen Ford and Henry Fonda as a couple of drifter ranch hands. No matter how hard they try, trouble just follows them around. Ford has a running battle all through the movie with a very hardheaded horse. Great flick.

O m'gosh, TMoney is right! I forgot about "Paint Your Wagon"
I no longer have a TV or VCR but maybe now I'll have to find one I can borrow for a couple days.
 
I can't believe nobody thought of "Silverado". Kevin Costner shooting the stairs out from underneath the guy running backwards up them slays me!

Is that for real? I thought the singing Eastwood/Marvin thing was just in the spoof version from The Simpsons.

It's a fact! They both did a terrific job, too. That gravelly voice of Lee Marvin was terrific, and Clint Eastwood has a softer voice - not professional, but he could sing in church or karaoke just fine.

The lady, Jean Seeburg, a real beauty, committed suicide, I'm told. Too bad.
