Without Clint?

The Big Country. Gregory Peck, Chuck Connors and Burl Ives. Great soundtrack.

The Magnificent Seven.

Great movie and very different to the classic Western. It's long and drawn out but it's worth the time.

Didja ever see a thread and you start thinking how you will respond to the thread, only to figure out that you already responded in that thread six years ago?

My Darling Clementine - a great one indeed!

I’ve seen The Treasure of the Sierra Madre mentioned. One of my all time favorites but not sure you can call it a Western..?

A very solid movie, not at all what I was expecting. I'd watch it again right now.

My Name is Nobody is my favorite spaghetti western.

One film to rule them all.

I really liked the ending. :)

I’ll add my vote for Open Range and the remake of 3:10 to Yuma, with Russell Crowe. Both excellent films.

"The Searchers" is a remarkable movie based on many true events...Wiki does a fairly good job:

Several film critics have suggested that The Searchers was inspired by the 1836 kidnapping of nine-year-old Cynthia Ann Parker by Comanche warriors who raided her family's home at Fort Parker, Texas. She spent 24 years with the Comanches, married a war chief, and had three children (one of whom was the famous Comanche Chief Quanah Parker), only to be rescued against her will by Texas Rangers.

James W. Parker, Cynthia Ann's uncle, spent much of his life and fortune in what became an obsessive search for his niece, like Ethan Edwards in the film. In addition, the rescue of Cynthia Ann, during a Texas Ranger attack known as the Battle of Pease River, resembles the rescue of Debbie Edwards when the Texas Rangers attack Scar's village.

Parker's story was only one of 64 real-life cases of 19th-century child abductions in Texas that author Alan Le May studied while researching the novel on which the film was based. His surviving research notes indicate that the two characters who go in search of a missing girl were inspired by Brit Johnson, who ransomed his captured wife and children from the Comanches in 1865. Afterward, Johnson made at least three trips to Indian Territory and Kansas relentlessly searching for another kidnapped girl, Millie Durgan (or Durkin), until Kiowa raiders killed him in 1871.

The ending of Le May's novel contrasts to the film's, with Debbie, called Dry-Grass-Hair by the Comanches, running from the white men and from the Indians. Marty, in one final leg of his search, finds her days later, only after she has fainted from exhaustion.

In the film, Scar's Comanche group is referred to as the Nawyecka, correctly the Noyʉhka or Nokoni, the same band that kidnapped Cynthia Ann Parker. Some film critics[specify] have speculated that the historical model for the cavalry attack on a Comanche village, resulting in Look's death and the taking of Comanche prisoners to a military post, was the well-known Battle of Wa****a River, November 27, 1868, when Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer's 7th U.S. Cavalry attacked Black Kettle's Cheyenne camp on the Wa****a River (near present-day Cheyenne, Oklahoma). The sequence also resembles the 1872 Battle of the North Fork of the Red River, in which the 4th Cavalry captured 124 Comanche women and children and imprisoned them at Fort Concho.

My favorite: The Shootist.

Any with James Garner.

For the the member curious, the Was h i t a river can be googled. Just eliminate the spaces in that word.

The profanity filter is over zealous sometimes.

It is the river that flows into lake Texhoma, right on the border of Oklahoma and Texas.
