30 Best Westerns of All Time

Finally looked at some of the list; that site is so annoying I stopped after 1 click.

 

Does anyone know what was voted #1 ?

 

I disagree with some of the rankings, but I was surprised and relieved to see "Shane" way down low.  A lot of critics consider that the #1 best western, which I never agreed with.

What do you guess it?  I guessed 8 of the top 10, my top was not quite #1, which was fine

The opening sequence to "Once Upon a Time in the Old West" is one of the coolest/most artistic entrances to any movie I have ever seen.  The pacing of it.  The lack of dialogue.  The stillness.   Really expresses the boredom the characters are feeling.  And then because of that ultra slow pace with nothing happening, the sudden action which follows is that much more violent and forceful.


Just brilliant film making IMO.

 

This clip isn't complete and stops short.  I can't find the continuation of it, but gives you a flavor of what I'm talking about if you haven't seen it.  

 

 

Arguably Henry Fonda's best role playing against type. It's a great movie, regardless of genre.

Agree! 

 

RR Tycoon: " Why'd you kill them? I only told you to scare 'em!"

Fonda (matter-of-factly): " People scare better when they're die'n"

 

One of my top 10 all-time movies.

No High Plains Drifter??   Ridiculous.

"Paint the whole town red."  "even the church?"  "Especially the church"

 

High Plains Drifter is one of the baddest westerns ever!  It's a bull **** list because they didn't even rank it
