Pre-1980 Westerns

I dunno if it qualifies as a western, but I watched Rancho Deluxe last night and it was pretty fun for a goofy flick.
 
Watched The Secret of Convict Lake and Hombre, both great movies.
 
Would I be right that everybody thinks that Stagecoach 1939 was way better than Stagecoach 1966? Even with Ann-Margret?

Hombre has one of my favorite movie lines

Richard Boone pointing rifle at Paul Newman:


Boone “Well now, what'ya suppose hell's gonna look like?”
Newman: “We all die, just a question of when.”
 
I remember that scene, when he walks down to toss out the "money" at the end. Technically though, it doesn't really work as an answer to his question. :laughing

He's just assuring Richard Boone's character that he will find out for himself. :p
 
I liked Costner in Open Range and Mr. Brooks.

As for adding to the list of pre-80's westerns:
The Outlaw Josey Wales
"Diein' ain't much of a livin'"

Good scene. Same bad guy from The Untouchables..?
 
If it is, he (Billy Drago) didn’t get a credit for it.

One of my favorite Clint scenes.
 
His "good" character in the Good, The Bad and the Ugly wasn't exactly good, he just wasn't specifically evil. He didn't need to double cross the Ugly which is what caused them to go down their path to the gold.
 
Well, that's what was so great about The Man With No Name and the whole Dollars Trilogy, plus most of Clint's other westerns. There is no good. The world is not black and white and a lot of westerns come off as basically Disney princess movies because there is a defined good and bad; they're dumb and basically soap operas for dudes.

Another fucking great Clint Western is Hang 'em High.
 
I gotta step into my nerdhood and suggest that he is neither good nor evil. He is true neutral.
 
Watched Hondo the other night, super good. Loved the conversation about how to get a dog to sniff out an indian from a half mile away.
 
The McMasters features Jack Palance, David Caradine and....
for you yellow-fever bastards...Nancy Kwan - fuck yea bro! And she rips her top off :)
