T-Bone Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I'm a huge western buff, I own dozens of John Wayne movies and think True Grit is his best work (obviously he won an Oscar for it) but I think the remake is better...I also think that the remake of 3:10 To Yuma is better as well. Russell Crowe is awesome in just about everything he's ever been in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I thought Robin Hood was terrible.3:10 to Yuma was amazing.I love john wayne, but I'm more of an Eastwood fan.I'm watching Unforgiven right now :-) T-Bone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itsmedeanna64 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Hubs absolutely is a western fan also. Me, not so much. But, I have had to watch them for 32 years! Gun Smoke is his favorite. I think he's close to seeing all of those over 20 years of episodes! I will say Yuma is a good movie though. Deanna T-Bone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bebop Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Although I'm partial to Wayne's war films and I also enjoy The High and the Mighty I have to name The Searchers and True Grit as my favorite westerns from him. If we go modern, I gotta go Unforgiven, Tombstone, The Quick and the Dead, - I thought Costner pulled it off in Open Range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bone Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 Modern favs are Unforgiven, Open Range, Tombstone, Wyatt Warp... And Costner was a total badass in Open Range. Love that movie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two half hour episodes followed by an hour episode. I try to catch it every day. Great show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compenstine Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 John Wayne and Dean Martin in Rio Bravo in my all time favorite John Wayne western. Clint Eastwood has to be The Outlaw Josey Wales T-Bone and joejoevapekins 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bone Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 (edited) Rio Bravo and El Dorado are two of my favorites from that Wayne era. Howard Hawkes really knew how to make Wayne shine. Red River with Clift is good, too. Edited December 21, 2014 by The Bone Slummer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bone Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 (edited) If you could see any Western remade, which would you pick? I think that the Man With No Name trilogy should be off-limits...no one should ever touch th em! That being said, I wouldn't mind a remake of High Noon, I think with some of today's acting technique and some of today's directors, the tension that movie is all about could be really done well. I'd also like to see a good remake of Gregory Peck's The Gunfighter. Maybe Shane, too. Also, a modern western I forgot to mention as one of my favorites: Appaloosa. "Mr. 8-Guage" is a total badass!

Bebop Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Love that movie Joejoe. It's really on the outskirts of being a western but have you guys seen Bad Day at Black Rock? Love Spencer Tracy in this movie and the supporting cast, including Earnest Borgnine is outstanding. I'm a really get tin' the itch to change my avatar now....
