So, you only got through the opening credits then

Somehow no one mentioned A Fistful of Dynamite (Duck, You Sucker) with James Coburn.
Or The Treasure of Sierra Madre with Bogart.

Two that I enjoy watching.

The Outlaw Josey Wales, 1976, Eastwood stars and directs.
Geronimo: An American Legend,1993, loosely based on events leading up to the 1886 surrender of Geronimo.

This isn’t a western at all — but has similar themes of exploring new territories, showing an enormous amount of grit and toughness.

Watch “Endurance” on the Disney channel

I'll check that out. Thanks.

Bud Spencer and Terrance Hill...

Oh gosh...

Lots of westerns suggested and good suggestions too.

I'll offer non westerns films.

Humphrey Bogart: Certainly The Maltese Falcon. To Have and Have Not. There others but the titles escape me.

Journey To the Center of the Earth. The one from IIRC 1959 with James Mason, Arlene Dahl, Pat Boone.

The remake (2008) with Brendon Frazer is pretty good, too.

Forbidden Planet.

Little Shop of Horrors.

Young Frankenstein.

Whole bunch of older horror movies: Dracula (with Belo Lugosi), Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, Wolfman, Invisble Man, Dr. Jykell Mr. Hyde. Werewolf.

The Blob. (1958 and 1988 are the ones I remember seeing.)

The Body Snatchers (1978) but I think there is one the came before and another one that came after (1993?). I know I saw the 1978 film.

Maybe too intense/unsuitable for younger viewers: Carrie. The Exorcist.

The Superman movies. And Batman movies. I've not seen all of them but the first couple of both series were good.

The Great Escape.

I could go on but I'll stop.

The Cowboys - Bruce Dern became known as "the man who killed John Wayne". Dern was the first to kill Wayne in a western. He said he received a lot of hate mail about how they allowed Wayne's character to die.

Jubal - Good storyline and an equally good cast, that also includes Charles Bronson in his fifth year as an actor.

Perfect thank you - will watch tonite!

Not a traditional western, but was enjoyable. Also, has Omar Sharif, but I feel the Pinto Horse is the actual star of the movie.

Good one. Haven’t thought about that movie for years. Will have to watch it again soon. Thanks for making me remember.

Was looking through old dvd's, and I immediately thought this one deserved a mention in your thread. It's not a traditional western, but it does have a good storyline and a good cast.

[floridaorange]

Yeehaw - thank you! 🤠

[floridaorange]

This has some very good acting in it, the pace is slow, which I really like because it allows for the story to unfold. Maybe most importantly, my kids and wife can watch it too, which is tough to find these days.

Quiglley Down Under - Tom Sellick

[floridaorange]

One of the best

Watched "A Fist Full of Dollars" the other night, first time I sat through a Spaghetti Western start to finish. Thought it was a good movie, interesting characters, both sides,
and the middle (Clint) being on the bad side at different times through the move.
Plan to watch all of the Spaghetti Westerns. Certainly his other good/great westerns are
"The Outlaw Josey Walles" and "Hang 'Em High" (where the Blazing Saddles hanging scenes and Hedley Larmarrs office is taken from). Either of those two movies are ones where I stop channel surfing if they are on.
