Glad to see people praising The Assassination of Jesse James... I was planning on watching it in preparation for RDR2, but I wasn't 100% sure until now.

Don't watch it yet...savour it for release week!

Old but gold...not to everyone's taste, but i can definitely see how R* have taken inspiration from the film!

I’ve just looked it up on IMDB and realised! I think all the talk of The Assasination of Jesse James was altering my perception...

Yep. That’s not Brad Pitt.

 

I’ll have to check out the film. There’s still time before ‘The day that all other entertainment dies’.

The Revenant. That’s not been mentioned yet. Good choice. The lighting in that film was epic- all natural light apparently.

Western movies back in the day were like Superhero movies nowadays. Full of cliche moments, bad stories and really boring characters. I really hate them.

But you can find a list of recommended movies by Rockstar right here:

I couldn't sit through those movies, but those Twilight Zone episodes are great.

but note that anyone suggesting "Wild, Wild West" will have their comment removed for abusive behavior.

 

Lol, back when actual human beings worked at Rockstar. Good times.

Hey thanks. I don’t know they had that list. And I like the superhero/ western analogy!

For a nice change of pace, why not also check out the 2004 historical movie The Alamo? It's about the famous siege during the Texas Revolution and stars Billy Bob Thornton as Davy Crockett. A really great movie, and has a similar tone to a lot of Westerns, being set around that same age.

I just watched the original 3:10 to Yuma. Quite enjoyable.  Haven't seen the new one.

I’ve watched the new one not the original. It was also enjoyable. Without giving anything away I wasn’t sure about the ending. I wonder how close it is to the original.

I'm watching Beyond the Law starring Lee Van Cleef.  It's a little campy, but a lot of fun so far.

An absolutely perfect movie to get in the mood.

I made this post in the mapping thread but I will re-post it here.
 

Spoiler

Is Valentine and its surroundings inspired by the Kevin Costner 2013 movie Open Range?

1. Check out the barn at the bottom of the street, the building in progress next to it, the law office building, the dirt main street and the very similar architecture.

2. The barn

3. The church at the back of the town, like Valentine

Unfortunately the town is a movie set.
The movie was filmed on location on the Stoney Indian Reserve in Alberta, Canada.

Just watched this movie. Totally badass from start to finish. Fascinating study on human nature as Gary Cooper tries to round up some deputies. Don't know why you'd spoil the ending like this though.
