Western thread

What are your favorite westerns? What are the best westerns?

I haven't watched many westerns so I will just use an image of one I saw recently and enjoyed.

John Wayne's True Grit > Jeff Bridge's True Grit desu

this plebbery is why i rarely bother to come into western threads anymore. real westerns are maybe the most poetic genre, spaghetti westerns are a crass parody. no major objection to their existence but it kills me when people laud them as their favorite westerns.

if anyone wants to talk about actual westerns, i rewatched my darling clementine recently. as good as i remembered, was a different version though, he kissed her on the cheek at the end which was odd. that was the actual release version i believe, what i'd seen before was a "restored" version closer to john ford's original cut. idk if there were other differences i missed. ending still killed me all the same.

I remember the Jeff Bridges' one getting a ton of acclaim, but all I remember is being extremely underwhelmed. At no point did it feel like any character showed any kind of resolve or grit. Obviously, the plot itself suggests this, but the why the Bridges' one was shot and acted made it all feel a bit like a lark in the woods. Maybe I have to rewatch it.

>made it all feel a bit like a lark in the woods

What does this boomerism mean? Are you Norm Macdonald?

1. Reddit spacing
2. While I'm not that versed in the earlier, Ford-style western, it's rather absurd to talk about the poetry of the Western and then dismiss Leone's work. Having grown up in Colorado, the mythic west was always more interesting to me anyways, because even Ford's was an exaggeration. The real west was in turns boring and deadly and most of all--lonely.

but DUDE, it was so COOL when Clint Eastwood’s KILLED all those guys really fast. This is what I, a reddito- I mean spaghetti western fan care about in the western genre

>real westerns are maybe the most poetic genre
Youve probably only watched the "classics" of American Westerns and you have never seen the bulk of the shit produced by Hollywood. From musicals, to straight up white dudes wearing stereotypical wigs with red paint. Most American Westerns were pulp garbage entertainment similar to the shit Disney sharts out every 2 months.

>spaghetti westerns are a crass parody
That statement is full of ironic nuance. Not sure where to begin... Lets just focus on the fact that you should probably look up what parody means and stop using words you dont fully understand.

>if anyone wants to talk about actual westerns, i rewatched my darling clementine recently.
oh nono no nono... BWAHAHAHAHAHAH

It's kinda like a twee larp, think about a meadow lark flitting about and singing and absent minded song. Also, fix your spacing newfag.

How old are you, newfag?

imagine being this much of a faggot

imagine being so devoid of the slightest hint of intellectual capability to even begin to form a coherent counter-argument after having been btfo back to the alabama shithole, where your syphilitic whore mother shat you out in a barn 15 years ago.

You have to go back

All this bellyaching about post formatting is pathetic. What have you got to prove? That you've pissed more time away on a Bhutanese cross-stitching listserv than the next man? Fuck off retard.

Who are those guys?

Different sites have different cultures. If they're using the formatting from somewhere else, they'll be bringing the same ideas. Newfags suck because they don't bring anything new.

So I noticed your cringe as fuck image, reverse-searched and it turns out you got it from Reddit L M A O. Pack it up boys, we’ve solved the mystery of why spaghetti western fans are so retarded.

C O P E

a paragraph break is not reddit spacing you boob. is closer but it's all sophistry anyway. as for your point #2 if you consider leone's western mythologizing and ford's to be equivalent you're just weird.

I don’t have to though, I have solved the mystery of why people on this board have such shit taste that they lap up spaghetti garbage and I’ve found the answer. Thank you for that.

Like recognizes like.

Just accept the fact that you were caught and move on

The Wild Bunch is an amazing film and one of my favorite westerns. Such a great plot that really reaches the climax in the end.
