I couldn’t find a topic, which would deal with the lists of worst US westerns (only Bad Lt’s “Name your 5 worst US westerns” and you would certainly admit that five is not a sufficient number here) so, let’s do this in well-established twenty style.
To make it more interesting, you can add also Aussie and British entries, but no Canada!!! You hear me?! I don’t want to see any mounties in these lists! Only if they are crossovering like in Missouri Breaks, although they were pretty far out of their competency there.
Edit: I excluded Canada at first thinking that would be too many countries with too many movies allowed, but since there’s only few canadian westerns out there (as I found out) it probably doesn’t matter, so bring those mounties in. But that’s about it! No Kiwi westerns, you hear me?! And don’t even think about Slovakian westerns!
South Of Heaven, West Of Hell - western with plenty of famous names involved like Vince Vaughn, Billy Bob Thornton, Jane Fonda etc, which is hilariously awful, but funny to watch.
There are tons of really bad ones on movies4men, ‘Age of the Gunslinger’ and many many more which never got a theatrical release, and rightly so.
But I think a bottom 20 should be movies which you’ve actually endured all the way, and not just spotted Kevin Sorbo or Willie Nelson and said “bottom” ? Anyway, this should be fun
Well, I had to include some of the “better” westerns in my bottom list (like Bite the bullet or War wagon), because I haven’t seen that many bad westerns so far. But since I’m on the US western watchpath, I bet, some turkeys eventually turn up.
As I noticed, many people like this. Maybe if there was different ending, maybe then I wouldn’t be so harsh on this film, but that ENDING is just horrrible!!!
At least there’d be some humour then … this is a permanent top 20 stinker, endured it on Blu Ray recently, it so amateurish, but not even in a funny way.
I’m not a fan of Clint’s own westerns generally, but most are watchable, this one’s a real chore.
I thought it is Hill’s worst movie, but I’ll give it a rewatch one day.
And Silverado - can’t say it is bad or good it is just one of those types that are absolutely dull for me. I’ve seen it numerous times in tv, and after few months I couldn’t remember a single scene - well, except maybe for that one with Kevin Kline being shot in the underwear.
As always in this kind of threads (books, videos etc) not many really worse films were named so far (if any), but a lot of good ones, even some really good ones.
