Pressure Drop Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I've bought nearly every western on DVD or Blu Ray at some point, definite ones to watch would be : -Unforgiven -Once Upon A Time in the West -Dollars Trilogy -Quigley Down Under 3:10 to Yuma Assassination of Jesse James Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid The Outlaw Josey Wales & Pale Rider & High Plains Drifter -Django Unchained Also, the TV series "Deadwood", and to finish off with, some comedy - "Blazin' Saddles", "They Call Me Trinity" and "Trinity is Still my Name" Enjoy, I just watched Django/Hateful 8 last weekend, and Unforgiven last night. I will probably rewatch Deadwood next, which will take me nicely up to RDR2 release Onholidayinmyhead, Lonely-Martin and ¡MAYDAY! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasOdysseus Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 On 10/6/2018 at 8:32 AM, Typhus said: 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 know there have been a lot of Alamo takeoffs, but I did really enjoy this one. Long, lot of longer spool character development, but it's probably the best portrayal of the span and circumstances of the actual siege of the Alamo. 2 hours ago, Onholidayinmyhead said: Just watched Bone Tomahawk.

The Magnificent Seven The Searchers Wild Bunch Tombstone Rio Bravo The Shootist The Cowboys The Searchers For a Few Dollars More Good, the Bad and the Ugly Once Upon a Time in the West High Noon Open Range And who can forget Blazing Saddles??

Cutter De Blanc Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 This evening I watched Stagecoach, the 1939 film starring John Wayne. An absolute classic. I highly recommend it.

TexasOdysseus Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I have to say though that The Hateful Eight's cinematography, with the winter stuff, is especially good and I can readily see that being borrowed upon in the snow scenes we've seen so far in RDR2.

Lonely-Martin Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Some fine movies/TV listed here, really isn't much I can add, lol. Many all time favourites too, not just good, epic stuff. Do like 'em rough and tough, the more modern flicks are great for this, though as a genre, has a history of violence and machismo too, lol. I love it. (Just as entertainment of course). Can't knock Back to the Future III though, that and Maverick are great Sunday movies. BTTF does have a real innocence about it with a subtle undercurrent of sleaze and wretchedness. Griff was nasty, lol. Caught Tombstone on movies for men the other night, hadn't seen it or was a long time ago if I did and I forgot. But it was pretty damn good and along with RDR2 fever, had to play RDR naturally. Definitely recommend. For me, I'll be re-watching Deadwood. Such a great show, and in case folk missed it, does look like it's set to return. Get in! The Revenent and Tarantino's 2 are fantastic looking movies as much as good, and the scenery in HD is hypnotic sometimes, I believe I'll fail a few early missions just because I'm too busy looking 'over there' Can't wait now! How about City Slickers. For any GTA:O gamers, could treat this game as a sweet lil' retreat too. Classic times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can definitely see why a lot of people compare the Blizzard scene and the quirky nature of Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight...But consider this old time western as the setting to The Great Blizzard of 1899, the same year as Red Dead Redemption II The Great Silence I'll be watching a heck of a lot of old westerns come launch week!

BUT THE BENZ Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) not a movie, but something that COULD get you in the mood! My daughter chose this on her own, from a huge range of those comic books, a couple of weeks ago in the mall! it is a donald duck comic book full of western tales. the title translates "fistful of coins", a nod to the greatest "trilogy" ever fun fact: there is a story called "the rainmaker", maybe I will chose that name for RDO.

Cutter De Blanc Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Watched The Magnificent Seven last night. The one with Steven McQueen and Yul Brynner. A fun film, really good. I prefer the original Seven Samurai that the film was based on though, it had better characterization. I mean James Coburn's character in The Magnificent 7 only has 11 lines in the entire movie.

zainzombie Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 How come noone ever mentions The Revenant? It may not be a proper western classic but for its grittiness, wilderness, beautiful scenery and realism, I think its the best movie to watch again before RDR2.
