The Proposition (If Australian Outback movies count)

"The Comancheros" was filmed down near Moab, Utah at a place (White Ranch) that is now a hotel on the Colorado River. Red Cliffs Lodge. They have a movie museum downstairs with memorabilia from that movie, "City Slickers", and "Thelma and Louise", which were filmed down there also. Lots of Colorado River and redrock shots in "The Comancheros". Now it's the "daily" river run of about 15 miles.  

The Searchers

The man who shot liberty Valance

I do like the Australian TV series McLeod's Daughters; women running a cattle/sheep/horse ranch, women on horseback, intrigue, beautiful Australia...

I didn't know that. Cool trivia there.

 

 

I've stayed at a number of Best Western's, but I've never seen a movie about one.

Oh, I see.

Well, quite a few of the best western movies have already been mentioned, but a few that maybe haven't been mentioned...

 I like Hang 'em High, Clint takes no prisoners in that one.

I also like Open Range, with Kevin Costner & Robert Duvall.

The Long Riders with the Keach & Carradine brothers is good.

I like Ride with the Devil with Tobey Maguire, which isn't necessarily a "western" but it is a Civil War movie, which makes it sort of a western, doesn't it? 

The Quick & The Dead with Russell Crowe, Leonardo DiCaprio, Gene Hackman & Sharon Stone is fun.

For more classics, I prefer El Dorado with John Wayne, James Caan & Robert Mitchum over Rio Bravo with Rickie Nelson & Dean Martin, which is basically the same movie but not as good.

Staying on the Wayne train, I also like The Shootist, The Sons of Katie Elder, and The Searcher has some depth to it.

Is City Slickers a "western"? Probably not, but I like that movie.

My personal favorite western of all time is The Magnificent Seven, the original. How can you go wrong with that cast and that music?

Now... draw.

Mag 7 has one of the greatest musical scores of all time - oh yeah - a great film too...sure. ........."Rojas??  His conversation would BORE ME to death !"

Lots of good calls above - I broke out Comancheros the other night for the umteenth time- never get tired of it.

Joe Kidd

Josey Wales

Will Penny

Nevada Smith

 

A more recent film I think is great would be Open Range with Costner and Robert Duvall.

The Neil Young soundtrack to Dead Man is a large part of what makes it the best.

Not really a western fan but that one's got my heart.

 

^Jim Jarmusch makes interesting films 

 

Yes, Jim Jarmusch does make interesting films. I don't always like them but I've liked a lot of them. 

I couldn't make it all the way through the Ballad of Lester Scruggs. I really tried. 

Maybe not the best, but...

Bone Tomahawk

Ravenous

Hostiles

And there's always Cowboys and Aliens

I'm the same way with Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, judit. I wanted to like it, and really tried, but I couldn't make it through it.

just in case i read the question wrong....

 

Best Western Movie Manor Questions & Answers

"Where can we go to find out the movie schedule during our stay?"

https://www.tripadvisor.com/FAQ_Answers-g33558-d80898-t1039366-Where_can...

Bone Tomahawk is really good, if not border line great. 

the brutality at the end might bother some people.

The newish Tom Hanks western movie circulating,  News of the World, is worth a watch.

Some good ones listed above.

< Silverado

^ That one I love

Tombstone ,, Doc Holiday is perfect

Fort Apache

Tie A Yellow Ribbon

The Westerner ,,Gary Cooper,,,  Walter Brennan as judge Roy Bean,, great stuff 

Best of em all may just be Red River. The Duke, Montgomery Clift, Walter Brennan ( can never get enough WB)--- the YeeeeHaaaaaaa scene is priceless (mentioned in City Slickers). 

once upon a time in the west 

^^ Absolutely,, also love the Dire Straits tune

Malcolm Gladwell has an interesting theory about categories of crime shows and the Western is just one of four types. The Jack Reacher series is a "Western" according to his definition. I think he has something here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnEjzmR9Hvw

Renegade (aka Blueberry) (2004) Vincent Cassel, Juliette Lewis. Starts kinda slow, but gets pretty trippy by the end.

 

Zachariah (1971) "The First Electric Western" featuring Country Joe & The Fish, Elvin Jones, and Doug Kershaw. Strange and fun.
