Westerns Should There Be More.

[BloodyWolverine]

Does anyone else agree there should be more western movies done. I know they are not no real big special effecst fest but in my opinion i kinda miss the westerns. I grew up on John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, and Glen Ford westerns and lets not forget tv great show like Bonanza, The Rifle Man and Gunsmoke.
My point is that i for one miss older style movie making. I mean i know they don't make tones of money but look at Pirates Of The Caribbean. It braught back the swashbuckler movies we grow up on. I mean what woul be wrong with having more westerns done ment being released the big screen and not so much the Hallmark channel or made for video westerns. I say do more westerns and bring back more westerns. The older style movie making magic.
Speaking of can you guys name 10 westerns you would like to see remade.

 

[The Kid]

Yeah. that's a lot of bold there, pilgrim.

Well sure. I think hugh jackman has that clint eastwood look. If there's anything missing from tv and movies nowadays, it's a good ol' kick ass western.

Isn't that thar brad pitt makin one?

i don't know what I'd like to see remade, but I'd love a bonanza movie and a Brisco county Jr. movie

 

[Rezzo]

A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More and The Good the Bad and the Ugly should never ever be remade

Westerns can become popular again if they re-invent it. Back in the 1960s the western was almost dead, on the big screen anyway. Then, Leone & co re-invented the western and it became popular again.

Western is very nearly my favourite moviegenre. The Proposition last year was fantastic. It had something that all those Hollywood westerns don't have. It was filthy like a Leone movie. Sometimes westerns look too clean. This may sound like a strange complaint

And this year we'll get 3:10 to Yuma which looks great. I'm really hoping for a big revival.

Deadwood?

 

[A.J.Rimmer(BSC)]

I've thought for a while that the western would be the next big re-vamp, much like the semi-recent swords and sandals craze.
Just no bullet time please.

Hugh Jackman is Clint Eastwood's love child and deserves to be in
these films for me. Also if he was told to 'dance' and was shot at accordingly, he'd astonish everyone with his finely tuned stage dancing.

Would said cowboy films involve Red Indians in the traditional sense?
Would that be considered offensive to current Native Americans?

 

[Carmine Falcone]

cowboy films

Please! Call them westerns...

 

[tecnowraith]

Well since they are doing the Stephen King's Gunslinger series next year or 2009, we might see more westerns soon.

 

[Kevin Roegele]

There are enough westerns in existence that, if you watched them back-to-back, you'd die of old age before they finished.

 

[Joker]

Deadwood?

Canceled...and what Kevin just said is true, but about 90% of all westerns ever made are horrible...anything with John Wayne in it pretty much sucks...stuff didnt start getting good in the genre until the time Leone came around and at least tried to make how they felt accurate to the time (everyone's a bastard who's just out for themselves, etc.)...Deadwood was the next logical step in that evolution, but it's gone now...3:10 To Yuma with Bale and Crowe looks pretty good...

I personally think The Proposition was more of a Corbucci movie than Leone

 

[Whiskey Tango]

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.

Which is quite a title, and comes out in October if IMDB is to be trusted.

I'd like to see more new westerns. Open Range was fantastic.

 

[Carmine Falcone]

Yeah, you're probably right. It didn't have the huge Leone scale. I should have said that it reminded me of Italian westerns in general because of the credibility.

 

[BloodyWolverine]

John Wayne sucks in westerns please he was western. Thats like saying Matt Dillon or Ben Cartwright were bad tv western heroes. Sure Clint was great but John Wayne is the god father of westerns.
The Searchers, Red River, True Grit and many more are some of cinamas greatest westerns Joker.
You are intitled to an opinion ofcourse but you have no idea what a western leading man is. John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Glenn Ford and Alan Ladd were western plain and simple.

 

[Rob Lobo]

For all Spagetti Western fans, here's a great place for you tune in from the music of the movies. Enjoy

Wayne was awful, I'm sorry...all that "a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do, pilgrim" s**t was just so hokey and didnt exisit in the west. Any of the types of people John Wayne was supposed to have been portraying (gunslingers, even lawmen) would have shot you in the back as soon as look at you. Eastwood was the first guy to really get down the guy who doesnt give a crap about anything but himself, and aquiring money.

 

[BloodyWolverine]

Thats your opinion not mine lets agree to dissagree Pilgram.

 

[xwolverine2]

clint eastwood should be in one more western....
like harrison

 

[Motown Marvel]

oh f**k yes!

 

[xwolverine2]

i lost the thread and i dont know the name


??????????????????

I'm not a big fan of John Wayne either. It's too romantized (sp?). Italian westerns were actually a lot more realistic.

Eastwood was the first guy to really get down the guy who doesnt give a crap about anything but himself, and aquiring money.

um. . .that is not correct. Eastwood usually played the hero. The Leone pictures, Two Mules for Sister Sara, High Plains Drifter, Josey Wales, Pale Rider, and possibly Unforgiven featured Eastwood as a hero. He was just a more realistic hero than John Wayne.

Public service annoucement the movie Shane sucks, thank you

 

[Road Warrior]

Shane is actually a pretty good movie.
