[quote=“Richard–W, post:153, topic:3170”]Bad Lieutenant, did anyone ever tell you that your facebook page is infantile?
There is not iota of cinematic aptitude or talent on your facebook page.
If you don’t like my list or my reasoning, don’t read it.
If you’re not to lazy to review the thread, you’ll find that some members have posted more than one list, exceeded twenty titles, and bent the rules this way and that way.[/quote]
HAHAHAHA, what a grimy, boorish and unsophisticated twat you are, Richard…
It’s good that unlike you, Bad Lieutenant has a sense of humour and is not going to be displeased by your blatant churlishness.
I don’t think it’s about articulating one’s sentiments anymore. Richard overtly insults other members and such lowly demeanour should not be countenanced. Just like last.caress, I apologise for my uncouth comment, but there is no way I can blink at Richard provoking other members. He should get what he has been supplicating for a long time; he should finally get banned.

LAWMAN (1971) and CHATO’S LAND (1972) are actually British productions, produced by the Michael Winner company on a distribution deal from MGM, the former in Mexico and the latter in Spain. Although the films employ American actors they’re not really American westerns. The Brits made a number of very interesting westerns.
Some of your other choices, MACHO CALLAHAN (1970), THE HUNTING PARTY (1971) and THE DEADLY TRACKERS (1973) are more international than American westerns, emulating the spaghetti western and being in filmed in Spain and Mexico with mixed money and mixed crews.

I’ve also got half a dozen bona fide classics waiting on my pc which I really should’ve watched by now (The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Bend of the River, El Dorado, Jeremiah Johnson, The Man From Laramie and The Missouri Breaks), and I bought Marlon Brando’s One Eyed Jacks (1961) months ago and still haven’t looked at it yet, so I’ve got some western watching to do, and plenty of opportunities for change to my 20.
I still think Rango (Verbinski, 2011) should be allowed in though
I apologize to all. Back on topic. Heres my revised list with notes on top 10.
ONE-EYED JACKS
-Brando shot so much film , just waiting for the perfect shot…in my opinion he pulled it off.
RIO BRAVO
-The funnest , coolest western ever. My grandma(RIP) introduced me to it.
PAT GARRETT & BILLY THE KID (1988)
-Bloody Sam’s mindnumbing ulogy to the west.
JOHNNY GUITAR
-Still criminally underrated. Not enough women westerns. I still have dreams of a world where Ida Lupina directed a western scripted by a young Peckinpah.
TRUE GRIT (2010)
-Pure magic to me. The care and detail in this is what every upcoming director(western or not)should aspire to.
WARLOCK
-Ive seen this countless times and I always try to catch Fonda vulnerable or second guess himself…but he never does. Stoic and confident, like Dmytryk’s directing.
The OUTLAW JOSEY WALES
-The one where Clint came into his own. Still I would have loved to see Philip Kaufman’s take… I will mention Kaufman’s Great Northfield Minnesota Raid, it missed my list just barely (I think its a personal thing against Jesse James). and know it wont be on anyone’s list.
RIDE LONESOME
-So hard to pick one Ranown, but this ones the one for me. A great revenge flick (the length Scott’s character goes is well… Lonesome but entertaining.
BUFFALO BILL AND THE INDIANS…
-Better than MaCabe. I had to have a satirical western. Newman is perfect. Altmans flowy overlapping dialouge is so funny. To me the best postmodern western.
RAVENOUS
-My only calvary picture besides Wolves. This one is dear to me, 1999 was an amazing year for films and this one gets overlooked. Little cult following now but most people wont get it. The music and the horror really stand out to me. I know it was filmed in alps and mexico but dont dare make me take it off.
Ride the High Country
3:10 to Yuma (1957)
The Wild Bunch
The White Buffalo
The Professionals
Dances with Wolves
Day of the Outlaw
Last Train to Gun Hill
-little note, this is my 5th! 1959 western, what a great fuckin year! Cheers!
I know about connection. Does book say anythng about if it was a conscious decision, and by who, to cast Jurado and Pickens? I love that they are cast , it makes PG & BK extra personal for bloody sam fans. Its so beautiful their scenes together.

Ziezo , toch een zeer gevarieerd lijstje, al zeg ik het zelf.
Ik weet dat dit een oude topic is, maar mijns inzien is hij nog niet af voordat er nog een definitieve lijst is gemaakt.
See you caballeros
I looked at the past two years of posts on this thread and thought of a number of Westerns which might make my list but haven’t been mentioned (or I overlooked them) including “Run of the Arrow,” “Cheyenne Autumn,” “The Last Wagon,” “Major Dundee,” “Run for Cover,” “The Wonderful Country,” “Buchanan Rides Alone,” “The Texas Rangers” (1951), and “The Violent Men.” Maybe some day I’ll make a top 20.
