Pretty much what I think.

Gritty, urban 70s cinema tastes killed the westerns.

Although, A lot of westerns made after it's heyday I liked.

Outlaw Josey Wales, Silverado, Pale Rider, Lonesome Dove, dances with wolves , Unforgiven. We're all strong in their own ways.

I could never stand the Pecker head rest of that cast is golden!

Dont forget Open Range, Tombstone and Wyatt Earp.

Have you ever noticed that Pale Rider is pretty much a remake of Shane combined with a bit of High Plains Drifter?

Post 1960's westerns that i like:

Barquero (1970)
Chato's Land (1972)
Hardcase (1972)
High Plains Drifter (1973)
Billy Two Hats (1974)
Outlaw Josey Wales (1976)
Barbarosa (1982)
Lonesome Dove (1989)
Unforgiven (1992)

I like Gregory Peck. Pork Chop Hill, Guns of Navarone, Cape Fear (1962), The Omen - the dude was in a lot of great movies.




Outlaw Josey Wales


Anybody else think the movie bogged down a bit after Josey gets his new "family"? I was really hoping Eastwood would have gunned down the old woman and the carpetbagger. Still a great movie. Little trivia: The author of the book was a white supremacist.

Can't choose between them: The Searchers and The Quiet Man.

Shane was a POS the kids whine made me want him gunned down.



That was a movie Hollywood thought a western should be. Not at all what a fan wants.

I completely agree. That potato headed tard annoyed the hell out of me. Alan Ladd was completely wrong for the part of Shane too. The man was 3 feet tall. Jack Palance was good though.

Shane is a classic!


And yes, Pale Rider was basically a knockoff of Shane.

The plot is solid, but the casting ruined it for me.

Trivia note:

John Wayne (and Frank Sinatra) turned down the role of Dirty Harry.

John Wayne did his own version ---- McQ

Favorite Wayner..... In Harms Way, McClintock

The Quiet Man

Hard to picture either of them in DH. They made the right choice.

:thumb: Absolutely.
