Is The Searchers Your Favorite Western? You're Not Alone

searchers560.jpg

How do you decide what's the greatest Western in the history of Hollywood? Maybe you're a fan of the Duke so that narrows your choices. But you'll still need to decide among The Searchers, Stagecoach and The Shootist. (So far most people are voting for the first one.) Now if you're more of an Eastwood fan, then you'll still need to pick between Unforgiven and A Fistful of Dollars.

Rank your favorite in the AMC Westerns poll. And if you need to brush up on the genre, check out The Shootist this weekend. For a full schedule of the movie on AMC, click here.

Much as I love The Searchers, I'd rank One-Eyed Jacks with Marlon Brando, Karl Malden and Katy Jurado right behind it.

The Good the Bad and the Ugly, hands down is my all time favorite western movie. That Mexican stand-off is my favorite movie seen. The great music and tense anxiety that builds up until the epic end with pistols are drawn and fired and the grand finality of it all. Reminds me of one of my other favorite Akira Kurosawa samurai movie Sanjuro the with the sword draw at the end.
