Favourite Western? So many to choose.

Post by Greatkudu »

I am a big film buff, but have a real passion for Westerns, I love the classics with The Duke etc, but also the Spaghetti Western to pioneered by the late great Sergio Leone, Fist Full of Dollars was a game changer with Clint being an anti hero, not good or bad but in between, my Fave at the moment is probably Pale Rider a fucking sublime piece of work, Westerns or films do not get much better than that IMHO.

Yes two great films and Jack Palance had a real menace as a villain that has never been equalled, love Lee Marvin to. Lt Kudu.

It could be the memory of my Dad taking me the cinema.
But loved it.

High Noon a stone cold classic. Also never tire of High Plains Drifter.

Not a stereotypical western but my favourite Leone/Morricone film, A Fistful Of Dynamite.
