He Sees You When You're Sleeping. He Knows When Yo
With 3:10 to Yuma being released this friday, and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford coming just a few weeks later, I figured it's about time to start a thread to honor one of the first truly American Genres, that of the mythical West. Cowboys and Indians... Sheriffs with Six-Shooters... These are some of the best archetypes in Film...
So what's your favorite Western? Are you a John Wayne kind of guy, or do you think that Eastwood is the champion of the Genre? Do you prefer the contemporary westerns (Unforgiven, Tombstone), the early westerns (anything before Sergio Leone), or the Spaghetti Westerns (Sergio Leone and his contemporaries)?
I still really need to see Once Upon a Time in the West and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid... Other suggestions?
