What's your favorite western?

[VOX]

89. Sam Peckinpahs western films work for me...

“Ride the High Country” Awkard in parts, but mainly bittersweet and poetic.

“Major Dundee” Kind of a dry run for “The Wild Bunch,” doesn’t work well overall.

“The Wild Bunch” Forever the greatest “the-West-is-fading-out-and-so-are-we” western. misogynistic in parts; unforgettable images.

“The Ballad of Cable Hogue” Peckinpah with a lighter touch. A bit sexist but also very silly. Vastly underrated. Another top “the West is dying out” western.

“Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid” Drifts along lazily, something like a “European Western.” You can almost feel the New Mexican grit in your teeth. An incredible supporting cast that instantly evokes the old West, including Katy Jurado, Slim Pickins, Chill Wills, L.Q. Jones, Harry Dean Stanton, to name only a few.
