Underated westerns
- Thread starter brupsu
- Start date
This is not what one would typically think of as being a western, but Hud is really a very fine movie which holds up brilliantly.
Almost anything Newman did was top shelf.Cool hand Luke IMHO was top twentyThis is not what one would typically think of as being a western, but Hud is really a very fine movie which holds up brilliantly.
Also underrated is Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. IMO it is the equal of The Wild Bunch.

Shane? Or is that not underrated ya sodbusters?
Tombstone. Even though we all love it, it’s still underrated.
The Wild Bunch, Cat Balou and Heaven's Gate are all great movies. (Heaven's Gate was panned initially but is now considered a classic by some critics. It is imperfect, admittedly). May I suggest the Criterion Channel. They have a group of movies called Western Noir that is really good and fits the definition of Underrated.
I think this is pretty much considered to be one of the greatest westerns ever. At the very least, I think it is.
I don’t like Westerns. But I love ‘Unforgiven’ - go figure.
The Outlaw Josie Wales.......most Clint Eastwood films are great
I saw The Outlaw Josie Wales 3 weeks ago. Very good film. I agree Clint Eastwood was the bomb in these movies. I will throw in Winchester '73. Also the Horse Soldiers with William Holden and John Wayne. Left Handed Gun with Paul Newman. High Noon with Gary Cooper and Grace Kelly. Gregory Peck in The Gunfighter.

I agree on Little Big Man. Very good movie...and funny too.
Recent: Open Range. Best gun fight ever. And that's saying something.

Charles Bronson - Red Sun
Charles Bronson - White Buffalo, except don't look at the snow when the white buffalo is charging you can see the RR tracks.

A newer one that doesn't get a lot of attention, but that I thought was really good was Appaloosa with Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen. Great performances by both with a lot of dry humor.
There is a movie that I have loved since watching it as a kid...."Draw," starring Kirk Douglas and James Coburn.
Thank You. I was about to google Charles Bronson movies. That one is very good. Oddly enough Bronson could pull off playing an American Indian.
