  1. OUATITW is a great western, one of director Sergio Leone’s best. Henry Fonda is outstanding as the bad guy.

  2. My list of essential westerns:
    Red River (John Wayne, Montgomery Clift, Walter Brennan)
    The Searchers (John Wayne, Jeffrey Hunter, Vera Miles)
    Shane (Alan Ladd, Van Heflin, Jean Arthur)
    The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach)
    The Wild Bunch (William Holden, Ernest Borgnine, Edmund O’Brien, Robert Ryan, Warren Oates, Ben Johnson)
    All of them good stories with good casts. Good directors, too:
    Red River – Howard Hawks
    The Searchers – John Ford
    Shane – George Stevens
    The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly – Sergio Leone
    The Wild Bunch – Sam Peckinpah
    I became familiar with some of these, as well as many other westerns, through watching Turner Classic Movies. Thanks, TCM!

  3. Okay, my favorite Westerns,that I can remember right now: Unforgiven,The Outlaw Josey Wales, The Lawman,Rio Bravo, The Good,the Bad,and the Ugly,and Invitation to a Gunfighter, for reasons as various as the black humor of TG,TB,&TU, to the ultimate “buddies” flick with the jail music scene featuring Walter Brennan,Dean Martin,Ricky Nelson and John Wayne, to Gene Hackman’s Sheriff Little Bill Dagget.
    I don’t like Westerns much any more,part of gettin’ old I guess,all the actors like like well scrubbed kids.

  4. This is my all time favourite Western. No doubt about it. The best story line ever!

  5. ENNIO MORRICONE is a unique musical mind.
    Composed singularly unique melodies that many will remember long after they heard it.
    Composed music for the ‘spaghetti” westerns and other western themed movies.
    Composed music for other type of movies.
    Completely original sound.
    Looked at a movie and said, this is what the movie sounds like.
    Won some kind of award this year, could’ve been Oscar.
    A pleasure to listen to.

  6. I remember seeing it on TV many years ago and was completely unimpressed.
    Here are two that are more campy than creepy: “Billy the Kid vs. Dracula” and “Jessie James meets Frankenstein’s Daughter”. They’re rather strange to say the least.
