Just got done watching Blazing Saddles and Support your Local Sheriff and started to think, what are your favorite Westerns, be it comedy or drama. (Or musical for that matter.)
My List:
5)Support your local Sherriff - Good clean fun.
4)Hondo - A filmed Louie, enjoyable enough.
3)Shane - One of the great classics.
2)Silverado - Really fun to watch.
1)Blazing Saddles - Skewers near perfect.
Yours?
Well, I’m pretty much a Clint Eastwood western fan but I like most westerns as long as they don’t have ‘The Duke’ in them…for some strange reason I can’t stand John Wayne. (tar and feathers aisle 3!)
My favorite western by far is ‘The Outlaw Josey Wales’…after that come:
Unforgiven
High Plains Drifter
Pale Rider
Hang 'em High
Fistful of Dollars
etc…etc…with Eastwood movies then;
Lonesome Dove
American Outlaws(Kind of a new movie, watch it if you can)
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Barbarosa(with Willie Nelson)
The Magnificent Seven
Blazing Saddles
Support Your Local Sheriff
They Call Me Trinity(for a bit of comedy)
They Still Call Me Trinity
-K
Man, this isn’t even my thread…but I’d love to know what westerns I’m missing. I for one am going to check out ‘Hondo’…even if it is a John Wayne movie.
Hombre–gosh, I wish Elmore Leonard was still writing Westerns! This is not only my favorite Western, but one of my favorite movies of all time.
Invitation to a Gunfighter–Yul is magnificient and the ‘pronounciation’ scene is just…just…nifty!
Support Your Local Sheriff
El Dorado
and almost all of the Clint Eastwood Westerns, although I don’t like him in any other movies.
Definitely Support Your Local Sheriff
The following are essential:
Stagecoach
She Wore a Yellow Ribbon
Fort Apache – should be less obscure than it is; not only a great look at military life, but it sympathizes greatly with the Indians. Henry Fonda makes a great villain, too.
Support Your Local Gunfighter
Support Your Local Sherrif
Big Jake
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Silverado
Rio Bravo
True Grit
BTW, I absolutely HATED Shane. Not that you should care…
Red River
My Darling Clementine
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence
Ride the High Country
The Wild Bunch
among others…
They Call Me Trinity is Trinity Is Still My Name, according to IMdB - I was looking because the title you mentioned sounded too much like They Still Call Me Bruce, a Bruce Lee parody. 
The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw - Comedy starring Kenneth More and Jayne Mansfield.
By the way, I meant to ask this and forgot - what’s the thread title mean, exactly? It’s eluding me… 
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
The Magnificent Seven
Blazing Saddles
…
9203941205) Paint Your Wagon (blechblechblech!!!)
Oh, and dan, I think the thread title is supposed to be an attempt to write down the opening singy-thing to The Good, the Bad …
You mean the Morricone bit? You know, that’s what went through my mind, too … I’ll be doggoned.
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Love that movie.
I’d add For a Few Dollars More and Cat Ballou, alothough pretty much any Sergio Leone (and even some of the blatant knock-offs) get my vote. Gotta love that sun-drenched, parched amoral feel to everything…
Doh! You’re right…and I’ve got it sitting right down with the rest of my DVD’s.
I’ll also throw in ‘The Apple Dumpling Gang’ just because Tim Conway and Don Knotts are hilarious.
I’m purely an Eastwood Western fan… ok I love Toombstone too
To the ones already mentioned, I’d to add:
The Professionals with Lee Marvin, Burt Lancaster, Jack Palance, etc.
Bite the Bullet about a grueling cross-country horse race, with Gene Hackman and James Coburn.
I guess I like end-of-an-era movies; both those take place early in the 20th century.
John Wayne:
McClintock Funny, good natured.
Fort Apache If a frontier cavalry fort didn’t look like this, it should have.
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
The Cowboys A rare chance to see Bruce Dern playing a psychotic low-life. (Okay, that’s not so rare.) But a really entertaining movie, with good performances by young actors, and one of Wayne’s most sympathetic roles. (No matter how much I disagree with his political views – which were mainstream conservative for their time – I can’t help liking the guy.)
The Shootist Wayne’s last movie, and one of Wayne’s best performances. Also has Lauren Bacall, James Stewart, Richard Boone and a young Ron Howard.
Jimmy Stewart:
How the West Was Won; actually this has everybody in it. Big, sprawling epic, great soundtrack.
The Naked Spur Jimmy Stewart is tough as nails in this, and it’s a good psychological story.
Early frontier movies:
Jeremiah Johnson Great movie about surviving and making a home in the wilderness. Robert Redford, and Will Geer. (In one scene Will Geer, laughing like a lunatic, lets a bear chase him right into the cabin, which is a big surprise for Robert Redford. Geer says, “You skin this one, pilgrim, and I’ll go get another!”)
The Mountain Men with Charleton Heston and Brian Keith. Got bad reviews, not many people saw it, but I always liked this movie. Beautiful scenery, plenty of action.
A comedy that hasn’t been mentioned: The Frisco Kid, with Gene Wilder and Harrison Ford.
And of course High Noon.
It’s the theme to The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. You know, the whistle (thwiliwiliwil) followed by the harmonica (wahwahwaaah)? Narile just spelled it out.
I love Jeremiah Johnson and think The Frisco Kid was a hoot! Thanks for reminding me of them.
Once Upon a Time in the West. I’ll watch it whenever it’s on. Hank Fonda is one of the coldest badasses ever in this flick.
