Let's talk Westerns based in the late western era 1880- 1930. I've been watching a lot of westerns recently and am interested in movies along the lines of the "The Wild Bunch" or "The Professionals"

the remake of 3:10 to Yuma was awesome

that is all

Disagree. Over hyped piece of shit.

Valdez is Coming.
Pale Rider
Unforgiven
Tombstone
Deadwood
Hell on Wheels
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Death Hunt ( Western Cacanada but Bronson and Marvin for the win!)
Joe Kidd
The Shootist

Loved pale rider.

Mother fucking win.

Agree about Pale Rider and Unforgiven.

Open Range with Kevin Costner and Robert Duvall is solid as well.

Broken Trail
The Jack Bull

Winchester 73
Once Upon a Time in the West

And if you haven't, read The Searchers by Alan Lemay. 10x darker and far better than the movie.

Searchers and Once Upon a Time in The West are at the top og my list, just was not sure if they made Bat's criteria as Searches seemed to be maybe 10 years after the Cival War. Then again Hell on Wheels is only a few years after?

Oh well let's roll with great western's period and let the Ranger do his own fucking recon.

I'm going to read the book now Turd, thanks.

Don't know if it fits the era, but Appaloosa is a fucking great recent western.

Come on guys. While a lot of those are fine westerns, a lot of them are plain old westerns.. Dig deep!

The Wild Bunch, The Proffessionals, Joe Kid, Big Jake, etc are what I'm looking for. In order to open this up, feel free to mention retro-westerns based in non western locals.

The Good, the Bad, the Weird, would be a great example of a recent korean retro- western.

"White Son of the Desert" is an example of a Soviet Russian western made in 1970.

Terrible movie. I own it on DVD, but can never finish it.

The good,the bad, the ugly
Fist full of dollars
For a few dollars more
Once upon a time in the west

Are Sergio's best work

I really liked, "My Name is Nobody"

It comes at the end of the west era.

The Cowboys
Big Jake
Unforgiven
Rustlers Rhapsody (for a laugh)

Also, Tom Selelck did some pretty good westerns for the Hallmark Channel
Remake of Monte Walsh was good as was Crossfire Trail (both in your time period I believe)

Best Western EVER! 1865-66

Bounty Hunter:"Man's got to make a living."

Josey Whales: "Dieing ain't much of a living, boy."

The scene where he makes peice with the Commance' chief is the best explanation of how men should be towards one another. "Know that my words of life are true because my words of death are true."
" There is iron in your words of death, therefore their is truth in your word's of life."

Indeed Darth. That scene is one of the manliest things ever put on film!

Also, of course the greatest line:

"Yeah, well, I always heard there were three kinds of suns in Kansas; sunshine, sunflowers, and sons-of-bitches"

Agree, and fucking dumb ending to boot.

1889

There Will Be Blood was set in 1910 or so.

The Ballad of Cable Hogue:

A eulogy to the west. Unusual film for Sam Peckinpaw. Very little violence, a good story, gentle humor. And, I mean, if you want to get all symbolical about it: Cable Hogue dies at the end, run over by one of them new fangled automobiles.
