This ain't about a hotel.

I've been on a western movie kick and have watched about 20 in the past couple of months including the Dollars trilogy, Django, High Noon, and Rio Bravo.

What are yr faves?

I love High Noon and Django (as you can tell by my avatar)

Just watched Westworld last week. I loved it - especially because I think Yul is awesome.

I haven't seen Dead Man in a long time. I like pretty much every scene with Lance Henrikson.

I think this is generally the standard that all others are compared to.

I need to see the Wild Bunch - I never seen any Pekinpah - just the Monty Python parody. I'll get that for the weekend.

Wow, yeah, its one of my favorite films, also about "High Noon", during the AFI's 100 greatest films, they said "High Noon" is the most watched film at White House movie night. Both Bushes and Clinton consider it one of thier favorite films.

"Once Upon A Time In The West" - Sergio Leone's greatest film, in my opinion.

Django

Ignore all the 'sequels' (even the official one), but the original is fantastic.

I still insist that Firefly is a "western" at heart, but other than that it's not something that I ever really got into.

all of the Leone films were great, but the rest of the genre really never appealed to me. I think it's from spending so much of my life in Texas / Oklahoma.

I get a western flick driving down the freeway.

High Noon and the Wild Bunch are going to have to make my netflix queue now. I'm going to trust "y'alls" opinions and give it another chance.

Django for me too! It has a unique mood, set in that muddy, windy town. And the final shoot-out is great too.

Django Kill! If You Live, Shoot! (though not an official sequal; they just called it that to get attention...) is good, and bizarre. The opening scenes are as good as Django's. Alex Cox used to always namedrop it on that BBC2 show.

Also, I like another Western with 'Django' in the title which is shown on the Movies For Men channel in the UK, where Django comes back as a ghost. I think it must have influenced Clint to make High Plains Drifter.

Away from Django, etc, and the obvious Leone ones, I like McCabe and Mrs Miller.

How about "Django The Bastard" - directed by Sergio Garrone, who later went on to direct the notorious "SS Experiment Camp".
