Whats the best western you have ever seen,and why.  for me..heres a little clue    da da de da  de de da de da.

Magnificent 7.

Great actors, story (OK it was from the 7 Samurai) and the best music score ever.

 

Plus the fact my first job was as a trainee projectionist and I saw it 14 times.

Re: The best western you have ever seen

Not just my favourite western but my favourite film of all time  -  `Once Upon A Time In The West`.


Sergio Leone`s masterpiece starring Henry Fonda, Jason Robards, Charles Bronson and Claudia Cardinale. Beautifully shot, slow moving with a great storyline. Includes for me the most chilling scene of all time. I won`t tell you what it is in case you haven`t seen it but all these years later it still sends a chill right through me. Another great moment is when you finally discover why Charles Bronson has come to town. For an actor who normally plays a good guy, Henry Fonda sure plays a baddie brilliantly.


And it`s this film that has the best music score ever by the renowed composer Ennio Morricone.

Yep, have to agree,it was very very good.  Loved the harmonica score, when the lamp in the cantina show's Bronson's face.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.


Two great actors with a slice of humour thrown in for good measure.


And perhaps not the ending you want.

More beans Mr Taggert?

I'd say you've just about had enough!

There's a film that will NEVER get remade!

Re: The best western you have ever seen

Has to be     The Searchers   or   The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance  or  Shenandoah  perhaps .....How The West Was Won  maybe ?    Yes

 

I love all the spaghetti westerns as well. (Clint's ones)

(Django and the Bud Spencer efforts were good fun too, though not my favs)
