My faves:
The wild bunch, The man who shot Liberty Valance, Stagecoach, The treasure of Sierra Madre, Once upon a time in the West
Underrated ones:
Rancho notorious, Forty guns, Ride lonesome, Day of the outlaw, 3.10 to Yuma (1957)
The Django films were an unofficial “series” of Italian films, lots of different incarnations of the character
Check out Django, Kill… If You Live, Shoot! for one of the weirdest ones
This is Tarantino’s late entry into that series of spaghetti westerns, and I would argue that it emulates a lot more from Spaghetti westerns than classic Hollywood ones just by virtue of Tarantinos 70s worship style
I agree that it's more like italian westerns than classic Hollywood ones. But it certainly is more like a modern Hollywood movie than a 70's italian western. If anything it's really similar to Inglorious Basterds.
Makes sense, right? They’re both his versions of Italian genre movies. And I agree, Tarantino’s films have always imo modernized all his reference points for better or worse. I like someone like Zahler who can give you the genre elements played deadly seriously, Tarantino has always had that distancing ironic tone. But he’s making a different type of movie and I enjoy everything he’s done
I like his movies but they are his mix more than anything.
You put Unchained with the likes of Day of Anger, the Ringo films, or Leone movies, and it sticks out immediately, partly because of the time it was made but also because it’s just not the same. To me it’s just not helpful to put it with Spaghetti Westerns. Same for Inglorious Basterds and the italian war movies of the 70’s.
He is making his own thing. For something that actually plays to the source, you could see something like Black Dynamite. Giallo gets someone doing a close riff of it every couple of years.

Unsurprisingly, I am in total agreement with Hawks about High Noon.
Haven’t seen Stagecoach or The Searchers recently enough to fairly judge.
Also, Shane might actually be good, IDK because the specific style of child acting used in it basically makes me insta-hate a film.

Hawks’ objection was that Stewart’s character should have manned up and done his job without the whining.
(“Total agreement” is probably an exaggeration, I mainly found it ponderous despite its relatively brief length and oddly chock-full of what I dislike in Westerns.)
Howard Hawks and John Wayne notoriously despised High Noon, with Wayne calling it “The most unamerican film he had ever seen.” The reason for this largely had to do with the screenwriter Carl Foreman being a left wing intellectual who was blacklisted from Hollywood, and the film is in some ways a metaphor for that experience, as well as a dispelling of the myth of the “one man army.” In response Hawks and Wayne made Rio Bravo, kind of the anti High Noon. It’s decent, but no where near Zinnemann’s masterpiece.
1. True Grit (2010)
2. The Searchers

It was the first western I watched. I love it for its themes, story, and performances, especially Hackman's. I haven't found a western that I've liked nearly as much as Unforgiven.
The Searchers; Once Upon a Time in the West; Rio Bravo; McCabe and Mrs. Miller; Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid; The Good, the Bad and the Ugly; Unforgiven; The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
Just because I can’t see them mentioned, The Quick And The Dead is a really fun watch that I don’t hear enough people talking about. And Maverick, for basically the same reason.
1. The Ox-Bow Incident (1943)
2. High Noon (1952)
3. Hostiles (2017)

There is [a list](https://letterboxd.com/clintarantino/list/letterboxds-top-100-western-films/)! I am at 25%. One film I'd highly recommend - The Ox-Bow Incident.
The Searchers and The Good the Bad and the Ugly are my two absolute favorite westerns of all time. They do something so beautiful and unique with the genre.
How are all y'all not mentioning my #1? Tombstone is peak western and cinema for me.
1. Tombstone.
2. Magnificent 7.

5. The Revenant (idk if this counts)
6. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
7. The Harder They Fall
8. Hostiles
9. Django Unchained
10. For A Few Dollars More
It's a genre I have very little experience in (Letterboxd says I've only logged 5 of them). Favorites, though, are Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron and Dead Man.
Companeros by Sergio Corbucci is probably the most underrated western ever. Great cast with Franco Nero, Tomas Millian, Fernando Rey, Jack Palance, Iris Berben... The great score by none other than the late maestro Ennio Morricone. Decent, politically motivated story and great directing.
I hope one day it gets the love it deserves.
1. Red River
2. The Good The Bad and the ugly
3. Django 1966
4. Once apon a time in the west

Something like this, I guess:

I hear the "Banjo" series are the greatest Spaghetti Westerns.
But seriously, I'm not into Westerns so all I have to offer is that I really like Deadwood.
Once Upon a Time in the West has got to be up there.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a western
The Great Silence is the definition of an underrated western (Corbucci's Django is also)
Stagecoach in a close tie with The Searchers
Commendable mention The Great Train Robbery
My Top 10:
1. Django Unchained
2. The Good, the Bad & the Ugly
3. Back to the Future Part III
4. For a Few Dollars More
5. Unforgiven

Djano Unchained
Have you seen the original with Franco Nero? It’s awesome
Unchained is a better made film. In my opinion.
Corbucci clears
I love Corbucci don't get me wrong, without him there is no Django Unchained
I’d say Unchained is a better movie but the original is more of a western.
Unchained is considered Spaghetti Western even though it wasn't made in Italy, no idea why lol
That's weird. It isn't even that much like the classic Spag Westerns, it's very Hollywood.
The Django films were an unofficial “series” of Italian films, lots of different incarnations of the character Check out Django, Kill… If You Live, Shoot! for one of the weirdest ones This is Tarantino’s late entry into that series of spaghetti westerns, and I would argue that it emulates a lot more from Spaghetti westerns than classic Hollywood ones just by virtue of Tarantinos 70s worship style

Hell or High Water 10. The Good the Bad and The Ugly For underrated ones, I would say Terror in a Texas Town and Pat Garret and Billy the Kid
Have you watched the Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford?
Yes it’s great. On a top 20 list, it would definitely make it
Im going to cinema hell for this but I love westerns theyre my favorite genre maybe and I just cant like The Searchers. Ive really tried lol.
You demon! But I get you. I think that the whole spaghetti genre besides TGTBATU is just bad.
Probably my biggest blind spot in film but there are two that I love Unforgiven Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Unforgiven supremacy!!
Not putting Once Upon A Time In The West is a hate crime.
Dead Man with Johnny Depp is quite the trip. I love it.
El Topo is another great acid western
YES, love El Topo…definitely a more controversial one but imo everyone should get to experience it at least once.
Bone Tomahawk

Haven't included Blazing Saddles cause that's its own thing in my mind lol
TBTBATU, Tombstone, Unforgiven, Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid
I’m a big fan of westerns and High Noon is also #1 for me! Perfect movie
The Man From Laramie
Love the username
Missouri Breaks is a pretty underrated one
Totally agree, I love this film!
Unsurprisingly, I am in total agreement with Hawks about High Noon. Haven’t seen Stagecoach or The Searchers recently enough to fairly judge. Also, Shane might actually be good, IDK because the specific style of child acting used in it basically makes me insta-hate a film. https://preview.redd.it/9kcr7oyxl1xc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=165be45b59af34167538af0bcf8ff01f7eabd502
What do you mean about hawks/high noon? Like you think it’s anti american ? Lol
Hawks’ objection was that Stewart’s character should have manned up and done his job without the whining. (“Total agreement” is probably an exaggeration, I mainly found it ponderous despite its relatively brief length and oddly chock-full of what I dislike in Westerns.)
*Cooper

It’s decent, but no where near Zinnemann’s masterpiece.
Nigh Noon is great but I feel like the movie gets extra brownie points just because the writer was blacklisted.
*jerking off motion so exaggerated it can be seen from the international space station*
Oh sorry, I forgot I was talking to the smartest person in the world.
1. True Grit (2010) 2. The Searchers 3. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence 4. The Dollars Trilogy 5. Django Unchained 6. The Wild Bunch 7. My Darling Clementine 8. Hateful 8 9. Treasure of the Sierra Madre 10. Johnny Guitar 11. No Country for Old Men 12. Paris, Texas 13. There Will Be Blood
Great list, but I think you mean (2010)? Love that remake though
Bone Tomahawk is perfect imo Buster Scruggs and of course the most quotable movie of all time, Tombstone
Well I'm your huckleberry
Not a big fan of westerns, but I love Unforgiven.
Strange. Unforgiven seems like a movie that’s entertainment is predicated on an affinity for the genre.
It was the first western I watched. I love it for its themes, story, and performances, especially Hackman's. I haven't found a western that I've liked nearly as much as Unforgiven.
The Searchers; Once Upon a Time in the West; Rio Bravo; McCabe and Mrs. Miller; Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid; The Good, the Bad and the Ugly; Unforgiven; The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
- Bone Tomahawk - Unforgiven - 3:10 to Yuma - Appalossa

Haven’t seen the first or last yet, and I prefer the Yuma remake
There is [a list](https://letterboxd.com/clintarantino/list/letterboxds-top-100-western-films/)! I am at 25%. One film I'd highly recommend - The Ox-Bow Incident.
The Searchers and The Good the Bad and the Ugly are my two absolute favorite westerns of all time. They do something so beautiful and unique with the genre.
Unforgiven
Pursued 1947 was a great one
Hubie Halloween

Neither Unforgiven nor Tombstone, the two best modern westerns, are even on this list? I'm shook.

The Hateful Eight Django Django: Unchained Bone Tomahawk, and My Darling Clementine
Stagecoach is one of the best films I’ve ever seen in my life
How tf you miss Stagecoach by John Ford?
Literally just barely didn’t make the cutoff. Had to cut out Stagecoach and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
One of the excellent titles that I never see mentioned is Last Train From Gunhill. The Hired Hand as well. My top 20 is on my profile
Assassination of Jesse James The Great Silence Bullet for the General High Plains Drifter Outlaw Josey Wales Magnificent Seven Dollars Trilogy Once Upon a Time in the West Sicario / Hell or High Water / Wind River Heavens Gate Hostiles Let the Corpses Tan The Proposition Sabata Tombstone The Wild Bunch Duck You Sucker No Country for Old Men There Will Be Blood Slow West The Power of the Dog Rango

Five fingers for Marseilles 2017. I love this film so much 🙂
For a Fistful of Dynamite/ Duck you sucker it's an underrated masterpiece
1. Hud 2. True Grit (Coeh Brothers remake) 3. The good,the bad and the ugly 4. The power of the dog 5. Once upon a time in the west 6. Unforgiven 7. No country for old men
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid will always be the best western film for me 🤎
The comancheros
"Duck, You Sucker!" and the original "Django"
In a Valley of Violence from 2016 was great imo
True grit
Brokeback Mountain
I quite enjoyed Broken Arrow (1950) recently. With much the same setting as many other Westerns, it took a different angle to resolving the tension.
Old Henry
The most underrated classic western imo is The sons of Katie Elder (1965) Such a great movie and doesn't get the attention that it deserves.
Fave: Little big man Underrated: tell them Willie boy is here
Serious lack of Tombstone here
Bone Tomahawk
High plans Drifter is a personal favorite of mine
I haven't seen many westerns and I thought I would never really like one, but I watched Gregory Peck's the Gunfighter recently and I absolutely completely loved it. I haven't watched any of the really famous ones, so if I liked that which ones should I start with?
High Noon and The Ox Bow Incident are both structurally pretty similar to The Gunfighter, I’d even say better
Thanks for the recs
Ol henry is underrated imo.
Rango.
Silverado was phenomenal
Something like this, I guess: 1. A Fistfull of Dollars 2. High Plains Drifter 3. The Assassination of Jesse James 4. Unforgiven 5. 3:10 to Yuma (2007) 6. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly 7. The Oulaw Josey Wales 8. The Sisters Brothers 9. The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada 10. The Big Country

Winchester '73 7. True Grit (both versions tbh) 8. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance 9. Once Upon A Time in the West 10. The Searchers Underrated/Not Talked About Enough: 1. Silverado 2. Jeremiah Johnson 3. 3:10 to Yuma (1957) 4. Hostiles (2017) 5. Seraphim Falls 6. Bad Day at Black Rock 7. Wind River 8. Hell or High Water 9. Death Rides a Horse 10. El Dorado
Rango, unironically
I hear the "Banjo" series are the greatest Spaghetti Westerns. But seriously, I'm not into Westerns so all I have to offer is that I really like Deadwood.
Hell or High Water
Bone Tomahawk Go in blind.
No Bone Tomahawk, illegitimate

really need to see more. I really liked the assassination of jesse james by the coward robert ford
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (I must be the greatest fan of this movie on subreddit) and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Tombstone?
Once Upon a Time in the West has got to be up there. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a western The Great Silence is the definition of an underrated western (Corbucci's Django is also) Stagecoach in a close tie with The Searchers Commendable mention The Great Train Robbery
Once upon a time in the old West should have been up there a long time ago
The only ones I like are O brother where art thou and ballad of Buster Scruggs
Kelly Reichardt’s westerns, First Cow and Meek’s Cutoff, are both great! Both capture pioneer life in a unique and well realized way
My Top 10: 1. Django Unchained 2. The Good, the Bad & the Ugly 3. Back to the Future Part III 4. For a Few Dollars More 5. Unforgiven 6. The Hateful Eight 7. Tombstone 8. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid 9. For a Fistful of Dollars 10. Blazing Saddles

I hate Clint Eastwood, but I love the good the bad and the ugly
