Gino Padula

That’s a remake of the epic One Upon a Time in the West

mikethemotormouth

How is this classic only at 2%?!

Gino Padula

Good Bad and The Ugly is the clear winner. Why not listed?

Sean McDonough

I'm guessing younger people don't appreciate the older films or know much about them.

Stephen King

The Quick And The Dead

Thomas Boyette

My favorite western! I loved 'The Wild Bunch' also. It's a shame they're only getting 2% of the vote.

ron clint

Young Guns? No comment lol

Alex

I wouldn't even count Dances with Wolves as a Western. Just coz something takes place in the West doesn't make it a Western. DwW is like watching paint dry. And I'm saying this as someone who loves what the movie is about and watched it for that very reason.

Mike Tocci

Fistful Of Dollars is pretty good. Eastwood is always enjoyable. Dances With Wolves is an overlong snore inducing marathon of boredom though

Jonathan Patrick

Young Guns 1 and 2. Must see classics.

Scott Kerr

Yess! High Noon is amazing! And yes that's Grace Kelly, not Gene Kelly. ;)

Scott Kerr

3:10 to Yuma is crazy good because it's actually a remake that, in my opinion, actually outdoes the original! Just my opinion.

Neal Romanek

All those actors together in a Sam Raimi movie? What's not to like?

Neal Romanek

"If they move, kill 'em"

Neal Romanek

Good take!

Neal Romanek

The John Ford westerns, The Searchers, Stagecoach, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance are must-sees if you were to do a western deep-dive. And High Noon is another landmark one - with Grace Kelly!

Neal Romanek

Great book too!

Neal Romanek

I always just want to jump to The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, which is greatest movie ever made and I will die on that hill.

Neal Romanek

So many great movies here! How can you choose? I'm going with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid cuz Paul Newman, Robert Redford and that amazing William Goldman screenplay (Goldman also wrote Misery and The Princess Bride)

Neal Romanek

I would go the other way. I think the theatrical cut is spot on.

MIke

a lot of western lovers dismiss it lol but you just can't go wrong with Gene Hackman!!

Armchair Wizard

That movie is good. Not even just in a guilty pleasure way.

Alex

Yep.

Donna Castellano

I saw it when it first came out in theatres. My cousin got to pick the movie that weekend and this is what she chose. I was so effing bored, I fell asleep in the theatre. I've never seen it all the way through. Every time I've tried to watch it, I get bored and turn it off.

MIke

Ill probably be strung up for this but I have a guilty pleasure for Quick and the dead! >:)

Cody Rice

If it's Dances with Wolves please watch the extended version. The theatrical version is so cut down that it's missing alot of the emotional impact. The extended cut is very true to the book and in my eyes a masterpiece of cinema.

YoureMrLebowski

No Country For Old Men

YoureMrLebowski

The title is a mothful, ain't it? That movie is something special.

Scott Kerr

I didn't vote for it on this poll but if they do Butch Cassidy again on the next Western poll, I will vote for it!

f hf

I've seen all kinds of movies and I kinda have a feel on what which older movies my family and friends would enjoy. Butch Cassidy is one of those movies, still holds up after all these years. Paul Newman and Robert Redford have great chemistry and you pair that with one of the 🐐 screenwriters in William Goldman and you get a masterpiece. Even if it doesn't win a poll and get a reaction it still deserves a watch imo.

Hope you guys are saving Unforgiven for after you’ve seen a handful of Westerns first. Young Guns has its place but would really encourage you to watch some of these movies from the 60’s. If you start Fistful of Dollars, I’d recommend committing to the whole Man with No Name trilogy. Some more recent Westerns I’d watch later on are Open Range, 3:10 to Yuma(2007), and True Grit(2010). The latter two are remakes and very well done.

Sean McDonough

The Searchers is one of the greatest westerns of all time.

Jen Barnes

Lots of good choices here, but Silverado is one of my favorites. I suggest Open Range and Broken Trail too.

Alex

I found Dances with Wolves to be really boring. I watched it after watching Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman for the first time, because I got super into Native American culture after watching that but didn't like the film. I have truly no idea about good Westerns, other than shows strangely enough. but I think anything with John Wayne is probably good.

Rudy Hernandez

Young Guns is a classic.

Charlie Keeler

I’m going with fistful of dollars just in hopes you end up watching the “dollars trilogy “, other than that all of these are pretty great.

TBR Schmitt

On the schedule!

TBR Schmitt

Based on the last Western Poll, Unforgiven was clearly going to win the next western poll so we’re just going to add it to the schedule :) -Sam

YoureMrLebowski

Mr&Mrs Schmitt, it's a hell of a thing watching Unforgiven.

ron clint

The Wild Bunch and Once Upon a Time in the West are grounbreakers of the genre, two of my all time favorites that can be viewed again and again. Im not a big John Wayne fan but I surprisingly enjoyed The Searchers and its now on my fav list too! Keep up your amazing work guys...your reactions are honest, fun, and the best of all the available "reaction" sites!

Will Zamora

The Wild Bunch

Drzergberg

Once Upon a Time in the West is the best one on here no doubt

Garry L

Not strictly a western but would love to see The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford on a poll

Abbraccia

Let's begin the Dollars Trilogy <3

Mark M

This might be the only time Young Guns gets the win. Let them enjoy it now before watching all the classics. If you ski down the best slopes first, the bunny hill won’t be as fun. I know I know, the bunny hill is never fun but they new to skiing…or Westerns.

Andrew Roach

One of my favorite westerns is 3:10 To Yuma, the 2007 remake.

Bert Taverner

Fair enough on getting the Sergio Leone train rolling, but The Wild Bunch and The Searchers are the best here

Ian

Unforgiven not making a western poll 😯😯😯😯 also ' the quick and the dead ' packed with stars DiCaprio, crowe,Sharon stone , gene Hackman to name a few I definitely recommend it

Birdie Num Num

Suggestions for future polls - Stagecoach, Shane, The Man Who Shot Liberty Violence, My Darling Clementine, Man of the West, Winchester '73, Old Henry, Gunfight at the OK Corral, McCabe and Mrs Miller, Rio Bravo, Red River, Outlaw Josey Wales, Little Big Man, Destry Rides Again, The Ox Bow Incident, The Big Country, The Proposition, Hud

Richard Akhtar-Dobson

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

Birdie Num Num

The Searchers and The Wild Bunch seem to be universally considered at worst among the top 5 westerns of all time by film critics and directors but are getting destroyed by Young Guns in this poll. Tough crowd:)

Future Boy

I'd love to see High Noon (1952, more Grace Kelly) and Unforgiven (1992) on a future poll.

Michael Soukup

The Searchers. All of the Scorsese era directors worship it—with good reason I think.

Stephanie

I recommend Open Range. It's a great and imo very underrated movie.

Nicole Johnson

The Magnificent Seven (1960). Not the recent pointless remake. And if you’re up for it definitely check out the original which is Seven Samurai (1954). Those are classics and both equally amazing in my opinion
