True grit with John Wayne!
get off yer horse and drink yer milk and all that stuff, they don't really make these types of films anymore.

Does Westworld count? I know it's sci-fi but hey it did feature Yul Brynner and he was a great actor and did star in quite a few westerns. I don't particularly like Westerns to be honest and I know people rate John Wayne but I think he's irritating and certainly not the best actor. As I kid I do remember programmes like Rawhide, Bonanza and Paint Your Wagon mind you Lee Marvin was another guy I couldn't hack.

I dont really have a favorite western. I like them but dont watch them enough to give you a name but i do love Clint Eastwood.

I don't know the titles.

I used to watch 'em as a kid when they used to be on channel four, i still do sometimes. I like the films clint eastwoods in but i personally don't like him or his acting. (i've always thought he was other rated)

The movie i liked the most he was in. for all i know it could be the above. (i really don't know)

But he goes and has a shoot out with a few other cowboys as they try to rid the place of the crook's. i forget the rest so it's probably not much help. hehe=)

For me it would be a toss up between El Dorado and Rio Bravo. Both are John Wayne movies and they both have very similar story lines. One though has Robert Mitchum and James Caan while the other has Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson. I have both here and I enjoy putting them in and watching. They have parts in them that just make me grin.

Now with Clint I have two favorites with his westerns. Two Mules for Sister Sarah. Funny western with him and Shirley MacClain. If you haven't seen it I'd highly recommend it. The other is Paint Your Wagon. Now this one is very different. It's a musical with Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin. It's one where you can't tell too much about it but if you get a chance to see it you will laugh. Funny movie with some great songs in it. Yes Clint Eastwood sings and he has a decent voice in it.

I absolutely love the movie Tombstone. Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday was truly amazing. I also enjoyed watching the first Young Guns movie..didn't care for the second one. Clint Eastwood was awesome in the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. I have seen it so many times. I usually watch it everytime they play it on tv.

I used to watch lots of Westerns - I have seen all of the ones mentioned. Could not quite work out the Spaghetti ones though. Especially the gunfight with the watch playing that seems to take forever.

If it counts as a Western, I think the best is 'The Alamo'. It has such feeling, great stars and a haunting tune.

The monkey film title is 'Every which way but loose' it was an orangutan in it.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is my favorite western, jimbo. I like all of Sergio's spaghetti westerns, even without Eastwood. What was the name of the one with Charles Brosnan?

As far as 'newer' westerns, I liked Silverado (Kevin Kline) and Unforgiven (Eastwood) and although this doesn't qualify as a western but does have horses in it, I liked The Jack Bull (John Cusack.)

Every Which Way But Loose and Any Which Way But Loose are the two Eastwood 'monkey' movies.

I think my all-time favorite western would have to be The Sons of Katie Elder. I love John Wayne and the way the sons get along reminds me of my kids.
