MCCABE AND MRS MILLER This wasn't on a list yet ??? A great movie and there is no reason it doesn't qualify as a "Western". One of the first Westerns I remember (other then Shane) where the West is dirty, muddy and makeshift. I also like how realistic and clumsy the gunfights are portrayed. I can watch McCabe once a month.EL DORADO -more realized then Rio Bravo -Mitchum's performance of the alcoholic sheriff is outstanding (deeper then Martin's) and Ricky Nelson couldn't act worth a bean. Mitchum and Caan's character (with his sawed-off shotgun) tip the scales quite a bit for Dorado over Rio. I'll give Jill St John and Angie Dickinson a draw. It's kind of fun that they are both basically- the same movie.
ONCE UPON TIME IN THE WEST (Leones greatest Western and Morricones greatest soundtrack)
RED RIVER
ONE EYED JACKS
SHANE
THE BIG COUNTRY
THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE
THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY
...and any post Leone, Eastwood directed Western usually has too much rape, torture, whipping, sadism and gratuitous violence to be deemed as a "good movie" - in my opinion.
