what "modern" western do you like best

I didn't mind 3:10 right up until the ridiculous final act

I love the Coen's remake of True Grit, and several of those are quite good, but only one is a bona fide all time great western in my eyes, and that's Unforgiven. Up there with the work of Ford, Leone, and Peckinpah. The next best film is a distant second.

This post sums it up pretty much perfectly.

 

[Dr.Mirakle32]

The Mask of Zorro

 

[karamazov80]

I noticed no "Young Guns" here. I bet someone would vote for it if it were listed. Same would go for Back to the Future 3.

Yep. I was quite enjoying myself...and then it went.....

 

[krec9]

Tombstone for me. Love that movie.

 

[Adolfo]

Glad Open Range got a couple too

 

[Devil_666]

Tombstone. The Unforgiven is a close second. 3:10 to Yuma (remake) would be third for me.

I didn't want to vote for this one:

So I edited the poll and voted for this one:

 

[Giant Chicken]

No love for Appaloosa?

I have seen all of the movies on the list. 3:10 is probably my least favorite. Appaloosa and Open Range are probably my favorites.

Has anyone seen the Japanese remake Unforgiven trailer?

[fistfulmetal]

Without a doubt its Tombstone.

 

[carbo-fation]

Appaloosa was great and the Japanese remake of Unforgiven actually looks decent. Will most likely check it out.

 

[Road Blaster]

Django Unchained by far.

 

[Reinhardt]

Easily Unforgiven, but 3:10 to Yuma, Tombstone, Django and Open Range are all fantastic.

 

[Invictus Sol]

Unforgiven by a landslide, for me. Loved how Eastwood demonstrated how bittersweet it was being the best-of-the-best as an old man, with lots to regret. A beautiful film. Can't imagine much will ever compare.

 

[The Iron Koob]

Ah crap I voted but I forgot about Appaloosa. Such an underrated film. Almost nobody knows about it. Anyway I voted for 3:10 to Yuma because I really enjoyed it and forgive me but I can't really remember unforgiven. Anyway, I'm writing a western novel. Here's hoping one day we add it to this list

 

[denryanj]

All good choices above. I have to throw in the recent History Channel Costner-Paxton miniseries Hatfields And McCoys. Even though it wasn't released theatrically, it certainly could have been.

 

[The Josh]

Tombstone is the top western for me. Even ahead of several John Wayne ones.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

Django Unchained was pretty good
