What is your favorite Western film?
I just finished watching "The Magnificent Seven" with Yule Brynner, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, Eli Wallach, and Robert Vaughn.
I saw it at Wall Mart for less than $10 and it's too good to pass up.
Thats a good discussion topic. I'm gonna have to go with the Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Such a classic film

Can't beat that list. Watched J. Johnson the other day for the first time in years. The h2h stuff is very good, none of this thirty minute slug fest, quick and brutal.

"They Died With Their Boots On" (1941). Starred Errol Flynn as General Custer and Olivia DeHaviland as his wife (she was hot!). It portrayed Custer sympathetically, and ended (as could be expected) tragically.

All The Pretty Horses
I'm not a big-time Western fan, but I found myself at the theatre watching one and was totally taken away with it. It was totally outside of any expectation I had, yet fit perfectly within the genre.

I am with the Reaper on this one, anything with the Duke or Clint. I like Clint because he is closer to my generation, but The Duke is one hell of a man.

That reminds me, I need to add "Quigley Down Under", just for the Sharps and the ending.
Have to agree on "Lonesome Dove" as well.
Forgot all about Trinity, those were some funny movies!

I was surprised I didn't see "Lonesome Dove" on here earlier. Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones worked very well together.
Reaper and Greenhats lists pretty much cover my choices...but add "The Professionals" with Lee Marvin......

The Magnificent Seven
Tombstone
Open Range

Pale Rider
Laura San Giacomo ruined Quigley for me.
A lot of the movies I listed above featured more than one of the actors listed above.
My favorite is still the exchange between Robert Duvall and the Duke:
"That's some pretty bold talk for a one-eyed fat man."
"FILL YOUR HAND YOU SONOFABITCH"
Lonsome Dove was great. My Darling Clementine with Henry Fonda. Wild Bill with Jeff Bridges.
