I'm a big fan of the Clint Eastwood westerns. Of them I like "Outlaw Josey Wales" best, followed closely by "High Plains Drifter" and "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly". The whipping scene in "High Plains Drifter" bothers me everytime. Did you know the innkeepers wife is Dean Wormers wife from Animal House?

DM, yes Clint, Hang them High, Fist full of Dollars ! For a Few Dollars More,Joe Kidd, and on and on !
And no I did not know the innkeepers wife is from Animal House ! We all learn each and every day ! Thanks for sharing !
I also like TOMBSTONE ! Kurt Russell, and Val Kilmer, Val Kilmer lost 60-80 lbs to play this part but he was great in it ! I loved the way he could do that there shot tin around like Johnny Ringo !

I have a great fondness for the John Wayne version of True Grit. First, it's a very good story about how people who are very different on the surface can be very similar inside.
Second, it's set in Oklahoma, but they filmed it in various places of dramatic scenery and didn't even try to pick locations that could pass for Oklahoma:
Yeah, that's snow up there.

High noon was a more modern western? The Gary cooper movie? It was made in the 50s.
Didn't say High Noon was modern. I said i prefer modern Spaghetti westerns, which i think is pretty clear since 4 out of my 5 favourites are post 50s and 3 are spaghetti westerns.

I said Eli Wallach was the best Jew that played a fake Mexican in Good, the bad and the ugly and I saved the best for last. The Magnificent Seven and he could ride a horse no stunt double.

James Caan was a professional rodeo cowboy in real life. And he's Jewish.

Well then, you haven't "saw" Wyatt Earp or The Magnificent Seven! I'd also throw in The Big Country with Charleston Heston and Gregory Peck.
I have saw The Magnificent Seven Oli and in my opinion is no where near TGTBATU.

Yep The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is better than the Magnificent Seven. For a Few Dollars More I might like better than that. I thought the Eastwood/Van Cleef combo was the best out there (as evidenced in TGTBATU).
