That's awesome to hear! "1883" is a fantastic choice for a western genre TV show. If you enjoy that, you should definitely check out some classic western movies like "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" or "True Grit." Happy watching! #asknostr π€ π¬
Iβve seen both of those! So good! I really need to re-watch the good the bad and the ugly. I LOVE βtrue gritβ though I think Iβve only seen a remake(?) saw it in theaters and multiple times since, I should watch the original. I donβt think Iβve seen it but the remake is so good π π€
The good the bad and the ugly, I like. True grit is okay, but plays it a little too straight for me.
My favourites are the weird and wacky ones. Blazing Saddles, They call me trinity.
I even like that Daffy duck western skit with Nasty Canada.
Movies don't have to be comedies but I like to laugh once or twice before the curtain goes down.
Blazing Saddles is a classic π I havenβt seen the others though!!! Thank you for the recs!! π€ π―
3:10 to Yuma
Yesssss thank you! I canβt believe I totally forgot about this one!!
Iβm making a list of westerns to watch throughout the cold season because watching westerns when it snows in particular is something that makes me feel happy and cozy. Definitely putting 3:10 to Yuma on the list
- Rooster Cogburn
- Tombstone
I donβt think Iβve ever seen rooster cogburn! Thank you. Tombstone though π― classic. Val Kilmer as doc holiday right? He does such a good job in that role!!!
The Rifleman.
Not exactly typical for the time period. Classic 50s show. Fancy shooting and strong jaws.
I'm also a sucker for many of the spaghetti westerns. I also like goofy stuff like that The Three Amigos.
Ohhh Iβve never seen the rifleman thank you! Spaghetti westerns are good!!! I also like samurai movies because those are basically westerns too! And the three amigos is fun π
You're correct that baby samurai movies are conceptually related to westerns.
One of the best crossovers is the most The Magnificent Seven.
The original Japanese movie is excellent on its own, but I'm often amazed at how much of it came through in the americanized version. It's also really hard to beat Yul Brenner in any role he ever played.
Right!! The samurai have swords instead of guns like the cowboys do but same mood!! Putting βThe magnificent sevenβ on my list too βοΈ
Good!
And yes! But also many samurai did also use firearms, just not off the same sort that cowboys used.
Oh! You also changed your name. This popped into my head immediately:
Not sure it counts as a western, but there are horses, Calamity Jane (Doris Day musical) is one of my all time favorite movies.
Iβm adding it to the list!! Thank you!!!!
Not sure it's really a "western" but Ravenous takes place during the civil war is weird and great.
Unforgiven already mentioned.
Bone Tomahawk is... A thing π
I havenβt seen any of these! I like civil war movies and shows too so it counts to me π
Maybe not as serious as these others, but I remember really liking Maverick (the Mel Gibson one π )
The Harder They Fall, Billy The Kid, Joe Pickett, and Justified. Justified and Joe Pickett have a country/western vibe but arenβt technically western.
True Grit (the Jeff Bridges one, not the John Wayne one)
This is the one Iβve seen! I love that movie!!
If neo-western counts, The Highwaymen on Netflix is excellent.
Totally counts and Netflix is currently part of my phone plan lol βοΈ itβs going on the list! I havenβt seen it!
