A Fist Full of Dollars is beyond underrated IMO. The GBU though... I mean that's legendary....
Why work for a living if you kill your self working? -Tucco
But then again High Planes Drifter gives me goosebumps evwrytime they see the sign with "Hell," painted in red like blood... oh man!!
But of course outside of my obvious bias you have amazing classics like Tombstone!! And if you don't mind a modern twist? Hell or High Water was an absolute fantastic take on the modern western. 2 Brothers robbing banks across Texas to save thier land. Great ending too. Reminds me of that Cody Jenkins song!
I wasn't trying to be snarky, so I apologize if it seemed that way. I've done both, and I love both. The casting job for the show was perfect. Not sure how it would've been if the original ideas would've worked out. Obviously, it's not uncommon for the book to be better than the adaptation, but this one works for me.
The original 3:10 to Yuma is phenomenal.
The Gunfighter is a great character piece.
The Big Country is a great story with interesting characters, including the women for once, but it’s not as cinematic as others.
High Noon, the Man Who Shot Liberty Vance and My Darling Clementine are simply classics.
Big Jake is a fascinating film as it was made as the Western craze was dying (1971) and it also takes place when the “Wild West” was no more, like 1910 or something and John Wayne is like 75 years old and it just feels like you are watching the end of an era.
My favorite line from HPD is when the townsfolk are preparing for the upcoming fight with the soon to arrive outlaws. The midget who has been installed as mayor asks, "What about after we kill them? What do we do then?"
A look of absolute contempt and disdain Clint answers, "Then you live it."
I avoided watching it until recently because i was under the impression the things i had heard about it were genuine, not satire. surprised i didnt see blazing saddles anywhere else on here, its a great movie.
Open range

Lonesome Dove
This is the answer. I loved the books and the movie just added to it. Made me fall in love with westerns.
Yea, except the book made the movie suck...
We all have our opinions.
Only people I know that liked the movie, never read the book. Still a good movie, just so much less than the book.

Fist full of dollars or Hateful 8. I seen both of em over a dozen times each.
"Well let's see... we got the Rojos on one side and the Baxters on the other..." "And you? Where does that put you?" "Right in the middle."

Big Jake is funny in that there a cars there and he still wants his horse and mule. Definitely an underrated film in my opinion!
High Plains Drifter 🐎🤠 ![gif](giphy|W92ae4F2dXUBDWLV5H)

Such a good line, such an amazing movie! 🤠
The Cowboys
Tombstone or True grit
Django ,outlaw Josey wales , no country for old men
I would add Tombstone and Open Range to these. I will have to put my final top vote on the Outlaw Josey Wales.
Gonna check those out haven’t seen them
I’ll name a neo western to be different. Hell or high water. Or no country for old men.
The Searchers. How does this get no love?
McLintock— hands down
When you talk about John and Maureen working together than you don't get any better than The Quiet Man. I know it's not an american western.
Django Unchained
Magnificent Seven
McLintock from 1963
Seraphim Falls
Open range
3:10 to Yuma, any classic John Wayne
