Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

[Sgt.Rock]

So I just watched this movie fairly recently and I've gotta say, it was pretty good.


Though the part that really stuck out for me was the train explosion scene (second one). When I first watched it, it seemed pretty realistic and a little big for the scene, but it turns out (after a little research) that, on their budget, they only had one take for the scene, so they used way more explosive then what was needed just to make sure. It's pretty funny knowing that the actors actually got knocked off their feet in that scene.

I've never got to see it, while I know it's a classic. I think I might have to get a hold on it somehow

 

[Cleveland Steamer]

one of my top 5 fave movies ever. Has to be the longest "chase scene" in a movie also...if you don't count The Cannonball Run or the entire Smokey and the Bandit trilogy.

Great movie, tried to watch it before bed the other night but fell asleep. And I could not stop laughing at the part with the dynamite on the train.

What about the original Gone in Sixty Seconds?

 

[Shadrach]

Great movie with great actors. I watched it many times when I was a kid.

 

[Ska Wars]

Classic film, and the last lines are genius

While we're on the subject, can you name more good Wild West films?

Unforgiven, probably one of the best western movies of all time. Directed by Clint Eastwood to boot.

 

[Sgt.Rock]

Definantly "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly", it's got Clint Eastwood and some good music (you'll recognize it right off the bat). It's one of the most classic Wild West movies you can watch.

You can't leave out "Bullet", that was the first chase scene to not use sped up film to project speed.

 

[dogbadger]

Of the lone gunslinger style you can't beat the dollers trilogy, including the aforementioned 'the good,the bad and the ugly' which is one of the greatest films of any genre.

High plains drifter as a slightly lesser known clint western- its brilliantly funny, dark and unsettling.

'Once upon a time in the west' is another epic with the classic morricone soundtrack, it's great if you can handle it's length and slow pace; the diaglogue-free opening credits alone were nearly 20 mins or something stupid. One of the best villians going.

Unforgiven was an instant classic- a great homage older westerns yet it included mythbusting that fleshed out the characters brilliantly.
If you like you 'gang' style western then one film stands head and shoulders above the rest for me- Sam Peckinpah's "The Wild Bunch"
It's just top in every department.

Unforgiven
The Wild Bunch
Fistful of Dollars
The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly
For A Few Dollars More
Fistful of Dynamite aka Duck You Sucker!
Open Range is mainly slow but has a badass shootout at the end
Once Upon a Time In The West

 

[Murphy]

Yeah, the Dollar movies rock. Check out Yojimbo too. It's the movie A Fistul of Dollars ripped off. Basically the same plot but with a ronin ex-smurai instead of a lone gunman.

Epic westerns:
The Big Country
The Searches
Once Upon a Time in the West

Fun flicks:
Django
The Magnificent Seven (ripped off Seven Samurai)
Rio Bravo
The Great Silence
Pat Garret & Billy the Kid

You can't leave out "Bullit"

fixed.

 

[Switchblade]

Little Big Man.

I vote for this one, classic movie and one of my favorites

I love the scene where the indian shows off "I have a wife and three horses" and dustin Hofmans respons "I have a horse and three wifes" pwned!!

 

[Ska Wars]

If you're after a western that's a bit difference check out The Proposition.

Got all the staples of the classic westerns but set in the Australian outback. Well worth a look but incredibly violent in places.
