Working on a video edit for classic and popular Westerns. What would you add to this list I have so far?

Is this a Western?

My father’s headstone.

Ordered this autograph from Richard Boone on eBay and it came in today. I highly recommend Have Gun, Will Travel if you’ve never watched it. It’s my favorite western show, even above Rawhide and Gunsmoke.

If you enjoy comics. This was a phenomenal story. Great world building and nice thriller. Could not put it down. Finished it in a few hours. If you like the last stand trope. It could do real well as a movie too.

What is the best streaming service for movies in the western genre? Prime Video seems to be hit or miss, very few John Wayne or Clint Eastwood classics (other than McClintock, which is everywhere).

Where do you all find your best streamable westerns?

My favorite quote from Lonesome Dove, one of the best movies of all time. My sister and me used to watch it all the time with my papa and I still watch it from time to time. This is from the part where Lori is upset that Jake won’t take her to San Francisco and Gus stresses to Lori that the best way to live is to be satisfied and take enjoyment from the little things in life. It’s great advice and I just wanted to share with y’all. Have a great day and God bless!

or a moment in any Western that just filled you wirh sorrow when you saw it?

or even you shedding a tear due to how powerful it was?

thank you guys in advance 🙏 this is one of the best communities i have gotten to be a part of. friendly, respectful, and knowledgeable, i have learned / found so many new things because of you guys.

Today I was faced with the question of whether Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron is a western. I'm inclined to say no, but I'm not sure why, other than that it's an animated kids' movie and that feels like something different to me. Are there other animated movies that sit close to the western genre? Or western films directed at kids? Or do those things disqualify a film from being a western?

I got sucked into Rory Calhoun day on Grit. He was in some damn fine Westerns. Currently watching Dawn at Soccoro. Is Rory underrated in the Western genre?

Did they ever make a movie, El Paso/ Marty Robbins? Love that song.

Just watched this hidden gem. Has Burt Lancaster's grin ever been more menacing? Gary Cooper's swagger more cynical?

Why isn't Vera Cruz more popular? I can certainly see its influence on Peckinpah and the Spaghetti Westerns that were to come, as it's full of amoral characters, backstabbing violence, and a mean streak that runs right through to the end. It probably deserves a reappraisal, especially since Cooper's ex-Confederate gentleman turned mercenary and Lancaster's despicable yet alluring outlaw play off each other so well. Not to mention it being filled with a stable of Western character actors that I'm sure we all love — Charles Bronson, Jack Elam, Ernest Borgnine, Cesar Romero.

Am I the only one who thinks High Plains Drifter is one of the worst movies ever made? Even if you disregard the rape scene (which by itself is awful enough to ruin the movie), I think it’s completely unwatchable because it’s so bad in so many ways.

Didn’t have much going on tonight and I figured I get started on another film on my 25 Westerns in 2025 list.

About 30 minutes in and it’s brutal but I’m really liking it so far. I’ll come back later once I finish this

I believe my favorite is My Darling Clementine.

I think The Searchers is the greatest American film of all time. But might not be in my top 3 favorite Ford’s.

I said some stuff on here in the past. I didn't like the Channing Tatum part. I thought he did okay on my fourth watch.

Is there a go to streaming service for westerns? I try to use the free one and avoid subscriptions ( Pluto, prime, fawsome) just wondering if there are any subscription based ones that are worth it.

After watching For a Few Dollars More on Prime a few weeks ago, a different movie played afterwards that isn’t in my watchlist. It was a spaghetti western, and a character in the movie was wearing Eastwoods wool vest as his main wardrobe piece, but Eastwood did the guys voiceover. Anyone know what movie I’m talking about? I’ve been researching too, but figured someone one here might know right away. Thanks!

It's been a long time, so I can't say with any certainty how old it already was at the time, save that it was in color.

As I recall it, there were three main characters, one of who was a hotheaded young man whose father is murdered by one of the villains. In the climax of the first part, during a long-distance shootout with the villain, the guy does a memorable oath/prayer, elaborately cursing himself if he should fail to carry out his vengeance.

In the second part he mostly missed out on the climax, save that he came in when one of the villains was dangling off a cliff. The young guy casually shot him in the hand to make him drop.

This being such an old memory, I'm kind of curious to check this thing out again. Do these two scenes ring any bells?
