      Once upon a time may be a worthy contender, but fistful and GBU are not on the same level

        Name better Westerns than Fistful and GBU.

          Just to name a few modern revisionist westerns. If you're a classic western gay, I'd bet there are a dozen you could name.

          Fistful is special to me, enough that I don't give a shit if it's a weeb ripoff. But it's not nearly on the level of HPD.
          GBU is a great movie that even someone with zero interest in the genre could love. But that's why it will never attain the level of true art.
          Once upon a time is the dago's magnum opus and may actually be the best Western. I just like HPD better.

              They're not though. The only thing the wop has over those two is Morricone.

        Explain the raping then. I can understand him being rough with the townsfolk because they didn’t help the sheriff while he was getting whipped but I don’t understand the raping.

          It's the same thing. The townsfolk didn't do shit neither when she was getting raped.

          It's not a big deal since women love it. Most of them can only cum from rape.

    Eastwood westerns are fricking dogshit. There, I said it. TGTBTU is the only good western of his.
    >I-I AKSHUALLY LIKE THIS FISTFUL FOR A FEW MORE DOLLARS MUCH MORE THAN GOODBADUGLY!
    No, you don't you fricking liar piece of shit. You slept through all three movies but pretend to like one of them more than the others to be quirky and unique. have a nice day.

      I thought For a Few Dollars More was far better than Fistful. Still haven't seen GBU yet.

      They aren't dogshit by any stretch, they're just overrated. Clint is cool, but too many people watch Clint Eastwood westerns before anything else and get the impression that the western genre is supposed to be about silent self-insert protagonists who just wander around being a badass and shooting people.

      Clint's worst western is still better than anything John Wayne's been in

        That's just simply not true. Clint lived in John Wayne's shadow until the man died.

    If you're being totally honest with yourselves the True Grit remake is the best western ever made and it's also more faithful to the book than the original. The OG makes Rooster the center of gravity for the production and the new one makes Maddy the center, which is what the author intended and the book reflected.
    If we're counting TV productions some of the later Matt Dillon/Gunsmoke movies were pretty fricking good and I'd also put Lonesome Dove probably at the top of all of them.
    Does The Wild Bunch count? If so that's gotta be the best IMO holy frick that movie is kino.

    By the way I'm and a heterosexual white cowboy that comes inside multiple non white women regularly and I also have blue eyes so I think I'm pretty qualified.

    Nah, too exploitive and mean spirited for me. For me, it’s either of the three:

    Fort apache
    And maybe wagon masters

    The best western ever made is the director's cut of Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid.

      I don't know what version I saw, but I didn't think it was that great. By then I had already seen Chisum and Young Guns, so the Billy the Kid story wasn't fresh to me

        I find the whole tone of the film to be amazing. It's all extremely bleak and depressing, I also love the Dylan soundtrack. It was a perfect swan song for the genre and an era.
        The directors cut repeats the opening flashback in the ending. I think this choice is very important and really seals the whole deal. There are some other differences, but that one us the most important to me. It's basically a proclamation of inevitability. The movie refuses to look away from what was established at the start,band reminds you of the fact that Pat Garrett doesn't get a happy ending himself.

          Stop saying this shit. Every movie is "the end of the genre" to you people.
