   I've just discovered "Westerns"
  Hello all,So I am laying in bed late at night flipping through the channels looking for something decent to watch, and this movie called "For a few dollars more" was starting, so I thought I'd indulge my curiousity. It featured some guy called Clint Eastwood, and had lots of bad guys running around on horses speaking out of synch, and robbing high secure banks guarded by some dozy guy eating a sandwich. The heros can apparently shoot stuff from near up to 2,000 feet away, and the piano player in the saloon somehow knows when to stop playing.Anyway, being primarily a sci-fi fan, I was laying there thinking - I LOVE THIS STUFF!!! I WANT MORE!So basically, I wanna get into this "Western" thingy. What are considered good Western movies. And do they all involve bad acting? heheheCheers!   
  Well if you've only seen that one then you've only seen a third of that trilogy!A Fistful of DollarsFor a Few Dollars MoreThe Good, the Bad, and the UglyI thought "Unforgiven" was also awesome.;  You'll get over it.   ;  2000 feet is possible, but probably very unlikely if using a pistol.  2000 feet = 666.6666666666666666666666666666666666etc yard, within range of a good rifle and shooter.But no, I know nothing about westerns.   ;Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is a great movie. It's a western, but not a spaghetti western if that matters.   ;  Some of my favorite westerns (mostly comedies):The Hallelujiah TrailWagons EastBlazing SaddlesThe Three Godfathers (John Wayne version)Paint Your WagonWestward the WomenThe VillainMaverick   ;Quote:Original post by SandbarAnd do they all involve bad acting?I thought High Noon had decent acting, but that's as far as I've ventured into Westerns.  I've always wanted to see more (High Noon is excellent), but never got around to it.;Quote:Original post by SandbarAnd do they all involve bad acting?Watch Tombstone and judge for yourself.   ;The Magnificent Seven;Quote:Original post by sanch3xWell if you've only seen that one then you've only seen a third of that trilogy!A Fistful of DollarsFor a Few Dollars MoreThe Good, the Bad, and the UglyI agree with these three(Man with No Name trilogy); although old, they remain extraordinarily good in a world of crappy movies.I second sunandshadows'Blazing Saddles and Maverick, although those are comedies, and may not be what you're looking for. If you do like Blazing Saddles, though, I recommend The Three Amigos as well. But first up, get the Man with No Name trilogy.
