In reply to the discussion: What's your favorite western? [View all]mahatmakanejeeves
(61,243 posts)2. So much excellence.
When westerns are rote (think of an endless stream of Randolph Scott westerns), they're "meh." When they're good, they're great.
I have "The Wild Bunch" in my DVD player now. I've seen "Once Upon a Time in the West," for which I voted, a bunch of times. I never did get the DVD.
I've seen "The Searchers" a couple of times. I don't get it yet. So many people like it, that I must be wrong. Maybe after another viewing I'll see what all the brouhaha is about.
Thanks for the poll.

While I do like Robert Duvall, I don't think TV mini-series belong in the poll as choices

McLintock. Personally, not big western fan, but my late wife loved this and we watched it often.

The Maverick movie was one of the best treatments of a TV show I can think of, western or otherwise.
