Best movie rant has got to be Edmond O'Brien as Sykes from The Wild Bunch.

And finally, The Ballad of Cable Hogue, another Sam Peckenpah movie. |

I like the 3 westerns Robert Duvall made recently: "Lonesome Dove", "Open Range" and "Broken Trail".

Gotta vote for Lonesome Dove. Have watched it multiple times and enjoy it just as much every time.. (feel the same about the book having read it several times)

(PARAPHRASE ONLY) "You hear that sound? That's you choking on your own blood." Jack Nicholson speaking to Marlon Brando. Randy Quaid was in the movie too.
"The Missouri Breaks" (1976)

Wow, the Wild Bunch only got mentioned twice? It was one the GREATEST western flics in the history of films, it also had the best two lines in all of moviedom, no, not Zhillsauditor's pick, but towards the final scene after a night of frolic and drink the WILD BUNCH are buttoning up and loadin and bucklin lookin around and Warren oates character lyle Gorch says "Let's go." and William Holden's character Pike Bishop says "Why not?" a rhetorical question not needing an answer...Anyway, two great lines.

"Will Penny" and "Hombre". My favorite line in "Hombre" is when Newman asks Richard Boone, "How are you going to get back down that hill?".

I think the most famous line, however, is from the beginning of the movie: "If they move, kill 'em". Sam Peckenpah's biography is titled that, as well as a song by Primal Scream. |

Zhillsauditor, right you are. I usually watch it every two or three years, but haven't seen my VHS copy for some time and the little woman hasn't picked up a DVD of it. What size lens do ya think Peckinpah used for the walk up the street?

The Outlaw Josey Wales and Tombstone are my favorites.

Not sure what Peckenpah filmed in, but if you don't have HD and blu ray yet, The Wild Bunch is a great reason to purchase it. The desert scenes are so much better in all westerns on HD--the desert just comes to life. I was fortunate enough to see The Wild Bunch back in the late 90s on the big screen when it was re-released.

First time I saw it was in 69 or 70 @ Long Bien military base. Halfway thru the flic we got sirens indicating incoming, mortars or rockets, it was a big base. Finally the First Sergeant had to unplug the projector to get people out of the hooch and into bunkers. Great movie.

True Grit
Sorry to bump up an old thread, but it seemed appropriate.
I was a bit nervous when I heard about the remake of True Grit, even though I do like Coen brothers' movies. The trailer looks like it might be okay though. Well, I can't turn down a western even if it looks bad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUiCu...layer_embedded |

Here it is....
.....Every line that Richard Farnsworth spoke in "The Grey Fox", but especially, "If you come at me again, I'll put a window in your skull, so help me." Then, "I apologize for this disturbance, Gentlemen."

Not sure about the realistic part but if you like old gun movies , The Professionals and The Wild Bunch are packed with turn of the century weaponry.

Yes, "The Wild Bunch" is one of the best, not only because of the story or filming, but it had several actors near the end of their careers, just like the characters in the film. Great actors from a previous era. None better. Holden, Ryan, Borgnine, O'Brien, Johnson, Oates.
They don't make actors like these anymore. Real men with real lives previous to film. Now they're just prissy wannabees. Sad.

I've managed to accumulate a fair assortment over the years, including most of the titles mentioned so far.
When I've "just gotta" watch a western though, the ones I'm most likely to reach for these days are: "Barbarosa" ("You been s--t outta luck ever since you was born, ain't ya?"), "Unforgiven" ("You shoulda thought of that before you decided to decorate your saloon with my friend!"), "Open Range", or "The Outlaw Josey Wales". On the increasingly infrequent occasion that I've got six+ hours free at one time, "Lonesome Dove". |

I like most all of the ones mentioned here. Another one that I like a lot is Pale Rider.
