The good, the bad & the ugly. You've got Eastwood directed by Leone, flanked by Van Cleef and Wallach. Score by Morricone. Doesn't get better than that.

Picked Unforgiven but it's a deconstruction of the genre so it kinda doesn't fit.

I'll go The Good, The Bad & The Ugly but Josey Wales is up there.

I can't pick one, if I did, i'd just think of one of the others and think it was better. It would be either Pale Rider, Outlaw Josey Wales, Unforgiven or high plains drifter. I was never too crazy about the italian ones for what it's worth, just never got the fuss over those, i should probably give them another chance.

High Plains Drifter.
A western ghost story of sorts.

 

[TJ Dillashank]

My Pick: The Good The Bad & The Ugly

G B U is tied with sister Sarah but I feel Sarah needed some love

Unforgiven

I like how it’s a depiction of over the hill gunslingers and the whole outlaw era basically being over and now you have a bunch of great gunslingers of the past being almost myths(William Munny) or going around commercially selling their tales like English Bob.

Roger Ebert’s review of the film kind of open up that perspective of it and I like it. No other movies of its kind and it was the perfect finale for a western legend like Clint.

I actually see parallels of that with how you see Italian and Irish mobsters going on show to show telling their tales. Guys that are supposed to be in witness protection because they have decade long contracts on their head showing up on high profile sets clearly not fearing for their life. Former hitmen going on mainstream platforms talking about murdering dozens of people as if it was just the times. It tells you the mob days as we know it from the movies are well over. Scorsese should probably make a Mob movie equivalent to Unforgiven

Scorsese did, it was The Irishman aka I Heard You Paint Houses (much better title imo). Never has mob life looked so unfulfilling and empty. All about aging and death.

High Plains Drifter.

Yeah it kind of makes a good trilogy with the 80s version (The Wraith) and the 90s version (The Crow).

 

[Streeter]

Unforgiven for best 20 minutes

Outlaw Josey Wales is best movie

 

[JangoMike]

Dollars Trilogy . . . But also, i cant choose.
