I won't deny that the Dollars trilogy is terrific, but Once Upon a Time in the West is the best Sergio Leone movie, and Clint Eastwood's self directed westerns like High Plains Drifter are better uses of his particular acting style. I'll admit that most of my exposure to westerns comes from genre blending takes like Rodriguez's Mariachi films, From Dusk Til Dawn, or satires like Walker or Blazing Saddles. I never really watched any John Ford films apart from The Quiet Man, which isn't a western to begin with. Arc Hammer fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Nov 20, 2018 |

"Quick and the Dead is a cartoon western" is the best way to describe it. It is absolutely a Raimi film with his signature exaggerated reality going on. I didn't mind Sharon Stone in the film, but I think it wasted Russel Crowe's character. Thankfully everyone else going full ham makes up for it, and Leo dies.

Man From Snowy River is a great Aussie western.

Shanghai Noon and The Quick and the Dead are both good examples of pop westerns and I think the latter is underrated.

There's very little story to the Revenant which makes it hard for me to call it dumb since there's very little to criticise from an acting standpoint. Tom Hardy was great. I didn't like the ending, which I felt was the weakest part of the movie.
