I voted Clint Eastwood. Lee van Kleef is runner up. But as I hate to say it, Kevin Costner is the only one that really knows how to ride a horse....

 

Clint Eastwood takes the cake....I've been a big fan for years...

I love that part in "A Fistfull Of Dollars" where he's talking to the five guys about his mule needing an appology...hahahaha...

"Ya see, my mule, he don't like people laughing, gets the crazy idea they're laughing at him....now, if you all just appologize, like I know you're going to..."

Hahahahahahahaha/......I'll never get sick of that scene.

Cheers,

Rem.

 

Sorry guys, but I feel your all wrong, Clint is good I'll give you that but he takes a back seat to the "Duke" no matter how you slice it.

 

Gotta give it to The Duke, watch alittle bit of "She wore a yellow ribbon" this weekend... chit and im 19, how many kids my age actually watch old westerns? lol

 

There isn't a bad john wayne so my vote goes for the duke

 

I reckon so...

I voted Clint. Unforgiven and Outlaw Josey Wales are 2 of my favorite Clint movies. I do like the Sergio Leone flicks too. But some other "honorable mention" westerns:

High Noon - Gary Cooper
My Darling Clementine - Henry Fonda
Shane - Alan Ladd

And the Duke in The Cowboys and True Grit, great movies. Guess I'll be hitting the video store.

Re: I reckon so...

I hope I don't get flamed for this but what about Woody, from ToyStory. Just wondering.

 

Re: I reckon so...

I voted for John Wayne. But Clint Eastwood is a close second. My favorite cowboy movie is "The Outlaw Jose Whales.

 

Re: I reckon so...

Where the dog is spit on the head and where the old lady makes him swallow....

 

Re: I reckon so...

Had to vote for the Duke for obvious reasons, but Clint is definitely a very close second.

However my favorite western is Tombstone.

 

Re: I reckon so...

Anyone seen open range? i've seen peices of it on TV, HBO, Showtime, one of them... Seemed kinda dry to me...

 

Re: I reckon so...

Is that the one with Kurt Russel as Wyat Earp? Or am I way off? From that version I like the scene were Wyat is threatened by someone with a revolver and he just takes it by the barrel and hits him on the head with the grip.

 

Re: I reckon so...

That sounds more like Tombstone to me than Open Range. Open range is about a couple or a small handful of free range cattle dudes who are taking a lot of crap from people in a town or something and they stand up to 'em...

 

Re: I reckon so...

Nix thats Toumstone. I really like the job that Val Kilmer did as Doc Holliday. I think that it was the best portrail of Doc Holliday ever.

 

Re: I reckon so...

Way better than the version with and Kevin Costner and Dennis Quaid...

I think Bad Girls is my choice #3. But that's mainly looks, to be honoust...

 

Re: I reckon so...

yea val kilmer as doc holliday was killer....

I also liked Tom Berringer in "Last of the Dogmen" more like a modern day cowboy....

Or Antonio Banderez as Zoro...

and who can forget Clint Eastwood as "The outlaw Josey Whales" That is my all time favorite western....

 

Re: I reckon so...

also liked Tom Berringer in "Last of the Dogmen" more like a modern day cowboy....

Yea I forgot all about that film. It was very good, and sorta differant from the regular cowboy movie.

 

Re: I reckon so...

In reply to:

also liked Tom Berringer

not something you hear everyday

 

Re: I reckon so...

Beringer does make some good movies like Sniper, and the one where he's a teacher in a real bad school. But he also makes an awefull lot of B movies to. So I can see where your coming from.

 

Re: I reckon so...

The Substitute is the Tom Berrenger movie you are thinking of. Treat Williams is now doing that role. Berrenger also did Rustlers Rhapsody. That was funny.

I placed Yul Brenner up on the list only because of two movies; West World and The Magnificent Seven. Anyone remember West World?

 

Re: I reckon so...

Yea the Magnificent Seven was a great movie. Charles Bronson was great in it to. He played a good tough guy weather it was as a gangster,cowboy or cop.
