Josey Wales is my personal Eastwood favorite. A Few Follars More is my favorite of the trilogy. Then I’d say Pale Rider comes in after those. Very different type movie though.

Have y'all seen Shane with Alan Ladd (1953)? Before my time but one of the classic old Westerns. The Pale Rider screenplay closely follows the Shane script, although the bad guy was a cattle baron, not a miner.

"Shane, come back!" as he rides away at the end.

I have but it’s been a while since I’ve seen it. It’s an old Louis L’Amour book right?

Unforgiven is head and shoulders above Tombstone, and I love Tombstone.

Split on this one.
Unforgiven was my pick for a single viewing. A movie with heavy action or comedy is easier fo me to watch multiple times.
Think Unforgiven was heavy on build-up with most of the action at the end. Tombstone seemed to have a bit more action throughout.

'Who done its', I could never watch more than once. After I knew, it was just over.

Val Kilmer as doc holiday may be the best match of actor to character in history. Should've won an oscar.

Never any doubt who played that role.

I have to put thought into who played Doc in 'Wyatt Earp' -Quaid.
Just no comparison.

Kilmer was superb, but my favorite character interpretation is Peter O'Toole as Henry II in Becket, with Sir Richard Burton as Thomas Becket. And then O'Toole reprised the role in The Lion of Winter opposite Katherine Hepburn as his imprisoned wife, Eleanor of Acquitaine and Air Anthony Hopkins as one of his sons, Richard the Lion-Hearted. It was Hopkins' movie acting debut. Both movies are play adaptations, so there is not a lot of action and few characters, so the focus is on the characters and the acting. O'Toole is one of my favorite actors of all time. One of the so-called 'Hellraisers', that group of British actors from the '60s/early '70s who were in a perpetual state of drunken stupor, even while acting. O'Toole, Burton, Richard Harris, Peter Lofton, Oliver Reed, and his buddy Keith Moon of The Who.

Yeah. The actors in the Costner Wyatt Earp movie were crap compared to the Tombstone cast. Top to bottom.

In no particular order:

1. The Bridge on the River Kwai
2. Lawrence of Arabia
3. The Departed
4. Cast Away
5. Inglorious Bastards

Just because no one has mentioned these.

One of mine too. As I noted, pretty much any movie with O'Toole or Burton.

Also Patton, The Dirty Dozen, A Bridge Too Far, Guns of Navarrone, Twelve Angry Men (the original), The Caine Mutiny.

Edit: Forgot to mention Zulu, The Wind and The Lion, and The Man Who Would Be King.

I’m gonna put Legends of the Fall in the group too. Fantastic movie.



And if you ever watched the movie Willow with Val Kilmer, Lord of the Rings stole a lot of stuff from that movie. I like the Lord movies but they took a lot of characters and ideas from the movie Willow.
