>Django Unchained
>Western
That movie is as much a western as star wars is sci fi.
Everthing with this nigga
Unforgiven- Beautifully shot, great music, and that end scene.... he shoulda armed himself, If he's gonna decorate his saloon with my friend.
>>63603722
If it had more scenes like the plantation shootout, it would have been better.
Also For a Few Dollars More has a special place in my heart for the tune.

The Wild Bunch for its characters and gratuitous, bloody gunfights.
Honorable mentions:
Once Upon a Time in the West
Eastwood films
Good, The Bad, and the Weird (eastern western)
Its MOTY if you havent already seen it
You beat me to it. Django unchained, because white people need to learn a history lesson.
>>63604068
Is that old man with the bifocals David Arquette?
>>63604068
That execution scene was so brutal
>>63603722
Probably Unforgiven.
I'm not much into Western, though.

>comfy
Fuck off with this meme, it was anything but. For most of the film I was just watching thinking damn I'm glad this isn't happening to me.
The Searchers has a lot of problems but the good parts eventually outway them
Between Shane and Unforgiven, I'm torn.
I was recommended a few other Westerns in a thread before--
I went into Wild Bunch with high hopes but it was a bore. Stupid plot and it didn't even have a soundtrack or cinematography to fall back on (like the Leone movies)
Pale Rider is cool put is really just a Eastwoodified remake of Shane.
The Outlaw Jose Wales is good up to a point but it feels like it reaches the end...and then keeps going.

Fuck I love this movie. Hollywood had a kind of charisma that is totally missing these days.
While you guys are on the topic of westerns, could you guys help me out with something?
I've been trying to find a movie for quite sometime, and maybe you guys are familiar with it. I watched it a long time ago when I was a kid, and I never knew its title.
It was about a band of cowboys who were on the run from a band of killers. The leader of the killers was a sniper (who had a moustache) who used a precision rifle to shoot down his targets.
The good guys started dying one by one, and there was a nigger among them. By the end, the movie ends with a confrontation between the last man standing and the sharpshooter. Rings any bells?
>le pta meme
whatever
>>63604444
>and there was a nigger among them
if your gonna be rude i wont help you
>>63604068
I still think the cannibals hit mishandled and the final act of the movie felt cheap all around. I liked everything immensely up until they actually get into the cave then it all gets pretty lame. I just feel like it could have been done a bit better.
probably the evilest kinski ever.
it is set in the snow, which is rare in the genre.
it features a fucking pistol, which was fucking hi-tech back then.
great ending.
>>63604323
>>63604392
Oh yeah I really like The Searchers. The only problems that stood out to me were, for one, "Texas" looks nothing like Utah/Arizona. they kept throwing "Texas" all over the place but they are right in the middle of Monument Valley...
The other problem is probably the story is probably actually too dark for the era the movie was made to do justice. It's got that 50s Western shininess to it. Not nearly enough grit, you know? Needs a good remake like True Grit
>>63604542
>the story is probably actually too dark for the era the movie was made to do justice. It's got that 50s Western shininess to it.
For sure. There's a lot of really sloppy tonal shifts between genocidal madman hunting for his kidnapped and raped kin and this tsundere couple horsing around, or the town idiot yucking it up while they realize they've opened themselves to ambush
>needs a good remake
Absolutely fucking not. The Searchers could easily be retold but an outright remake is unnecessary.
>>63603722
Nobody /onceuponatimeinthewest/?
I adored The Wild Bunch, but McCabe and Mrs. Miller also needs to be thrown into this conversation too.
>>63604392
I'm never watched Shane. Not famous in m'y country. I'm getting it.
Is there a good Top 20 western list somewhere ? Found just utter shit tier westerns list.
Unforgiven
>>63604499
There was a gentleman of the coloured variety among them.
>>63604631
Yeah, retelling is probably the better word.
>>63604699
Literally everything in this tread.
But Shane is great. The only flaw is downey actor they got to play the kid.
>>63603759
I was watching 'death rides a horse' today on tv.
>>63604677
That was probably objectively the best Western. I don't know how someone could think that Unforgiven, etc. are better.
>>63604677

Once Upon a Time in the West. Sliverado is a close second. Magnificent Seven is third.

I really enjoyed Once Upon a Time in the West. Claudia Cardinale in it is in my opinion 10/10 beautiful.
I should probably watch The Searchers. I've still got to make my way through most of the 'western canon' (lol)
>>63603825
fucking shits m8, i cry everytime ;-;
>>63604825
I did not enjoy OUATiTW at all. I didn't like the story, I didn't like Charles Bronson's damn whistling and I just generally wanted all of the Protagonists to fucking die.
>>63604323
The Searchers is a perfect film you retard.
>>63604949
Its great and an achievement, but its got a lot of weird quirks that would have made the movie better if they had been removed.
>>63604323
Literally the only movie I've ever seen John Wayne actually *act* in
>>63603752
I don't think anyone but you considers Django Unchained to be the epitome of the western genre.
>>63603759
Had the most masculine rugged face. I havent seen big gundown but ive heard the score for it. i heard its okay...you recommend it?

From what I remember of it, it seemed to me like it would be an instant fucking classic.
Not my favorite, but I've always loved the Young Guns movies.
>>63604949
No, I think Ethan is one of the greatest characters in film and the final shot is the single most heartbreaking thing I've seen in a move, but its got lots of issues I said >>63604631 here. I've heard it described as "the worst best movie" and I think thats very accurate.
>>63605068
watch death rides a horse
then sabata
then return of sabata (my fav)
then gundown
then el condor
then the grand duel
then the stranger and the gunfighter

3:10 to Yuma is an awesome western
The new 3:10 to Yuma
Tarantula himself called it a "Southern"
I have to imagine this is what the wild west was actually like.
>>63604520
>A sign on him in front of Greeley's?!
>That's right...I've killed women & children...
Winner. And prob the greatest final act of any film ever.
I love how the tone completely changes soon as Will learns of Ned's death.
>>63603722
Lonesome Dove is one I can watch quite often.
For a Few Dollars More, I think it was one of the first movies I watched with my father and it's also one of his favourites.
For a Few Dollars More > A Fistful of Dollars > The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
>>63606097
William Munny is an amazing character.
Spent the whole movie trying not to be the man he once was but when Ned gets wrongfully tortured and killed, William just says fuck it.
The Duck of Death and Bill parts were good too. A lot of people think those parts are pointless but I can't imagine the movie without them. Bill being a fully realized character just made the final shoot out all the more powerful.
>>63606347
Yeah, the Duck & Bill thing was completely necessary. Like you said, it helped seal that ending better.
There's so many memorable scenes & dialog in this movie I could watch it all day long. It's funny because Eastwood made a living doing unrealistic shootem up westerns, then came back years later to put it to bed & blew it the fuck out in one that was grounded in reality. I almost feel like the genre never really recovered after that.
>>63607079
Westerns had been dead for a solid decade beforehand, Unforgiven is more a eulogy than the death knell

>>63604487
This isn't really a western. Right? I mean, there are a lot of story and character tropes that go into being a western rather than just the setting
>>63609756
is it true that Wild Bunch hold the record for most blanks and squibs used in a movie?
Heard that somewhere
>>63609894
Probably, especially since the film begins and ends with two rather long shootouts, especially the climax
I best enjoy Once Upon a Time in the West and El Topo but I admit a have a limited understanding of the genre.
>>63610038
Django is easily the most overrated Corbucci western, it has some nice aesthetics but it really feels like a slog to watch in every scene where he isn't shooting people.
>>63603722
Can't decide actually, have seen a lot of good westerns
My favourite recent one was probably 310 to Yuma
favourite classic was for a few dollars more
what is /tv/'s recommended essential modern western core?
the only recent "westerns" i can think of are
>django (kind of)
>bone tomahawk
>310 to yuma
>nigger revenge fantasy
>western
>>63610602
more like
>the only black superhero
his power is standing up to whitey
For something that I can always go back to, Once upon a time in the west is my favorite.
But I also love the Shootist.
>I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people and I require the same from them.
>>63610573
Do you mean Django or Django Unchained?
is the only reason /tv/ doesn't like Django Unchained because of the race part? Because the protag is black?
i thought it was an alright movie, but i didnt like
>the classic Tarantula "half the cast dies in a violence orgy close to the end of the movie even though it was completely avoidable"
>Shultz not shaking his hand just to advance the plot and create the violence orgy
>lack of a developed antagonist in Leo (despite him doing a bretty gud acting job); he was pretty much just MUH EVIL SLAVE OWNER LOOK HOW EVIL I AM...UH CUZ I OWN SLAVES
but other than that I thought it looked good, was acted pretty well, the dialogue was fine, and it had a nice story progression despite the lapse near the end
what are some other valid criticisms you guys have?
>>63610832
django unchained
>>63610869
The movie was way too long and the pacing was strange.

Schultz shooting DiCaprio was a mistake , he should have been backstabbed somehow.
He was always thinking and calm in the movie
>>63611206
it's been a long time since I saw it, but didn't they try to buy the wife using that exact reason but got found out?
and about the practicing over the winter thing, didn't shultz say it would be hard to travel/find/track the wife in the winter, so they might as well practice?
I'm not about to watch the whole thing again but just off the top of my head.
Were there any other plot idiocies?
3:10 yuma is good as a modern western if you fear to watch thé classics but a pure western for me is a spaghetti western, Django or Yuma are action movie (to be blunt) in the 19 century taking codes from western.

>>63606048
It wasn't. The idea of the "wild west" is mostly a literary invention. That's not to say there wasn't violence, but for instance most towns did not allow people to walk around carrying firearms like in the movies, and even places like Dodge City or tombstone AZ that were hotbeds of violence might have a handful of murders a year, and by handful I mean fewer than five.
>>63609890
