If you enjoyed High Noon from the movie club, or looking for westerns recommendations in general, these are a few I recommend:


I mentioned this one in the movie club thread. It's from 1950, so it can be a bit hokey at times. Gregory Peck is on the run, but has to make a quick stop in town to see an old flame. Don't worry, he has plenty of time.

In the late 50s, Budd Boetticher directed a string of westerns starring Randolph Scott and this one is probably my favorite. Richard Boone, better known as Paladin from Have Gun Will Travel, plays the villain.


Lee Marvin won an Oscar for his performance in this western comedy. Nat King Cole appears throughout the film in like a Greek chorus framing device.


If you're looking for a violent spaghetti western, then The Great Silence is one of my favorites. I was stunned by the ending the first time I saw it.

There are plenty of great westerns out there. The problem is there are thousands of westerns, and probably 95% of them are terrible.

The True Grit remake is really loving good. The original is pretty decent, but it's an example of when the remake outshines the original.

Criterion Channel added The Quick and the Dead. Not based on the Louis L’Amour novel. Definitely worth a watch if you haven’t seen it. Sam Raimi really went overboard on the Sam Raimi style with this film.
