Sorry if I am repeating something that might have been here before but, I was just wondering what your favorite NON-John Wayne Western is?

As usual, I can't name just one favorite. I have several non-Wayne westerns that are favorites. In no particular order, they are: "Ulzana's Raid", "Monte Walsh", "The Stalking Moon", "Gunfight at OK Corral", "The Gunfighter", "Will Penny", "Culpepper Cattle Company", "Broken Arrow", "Naked Spur" and others. Westerns, per se, are my favorite genre.

Upon reflection, I can think of numerous other westerns that would have to be included on my "favorites" list.

"Shane", "The Ox-Bow Incident", "Ride The High Country", "Bandolero", "The Big Country", "Pale Rider", "The Man From Laramie", "The Magnificent Seven", Dances With Wolves", "Open Range", "Jeremiah Johnson", "Tombstone", "Duel In The Sun", "Last Train From Gun Hill", "Union Pacific", "My Darling Clementine", "There Was A Crooked Man", "River of No Return", "Western Union", "The Bravados", "The Unforgiven (1960)", "Quigley Down Under", "Tom Horn", "3:10 to Yuma", "Lonesome Dove", "Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid" and "The Outlaw Josey Wales".

Well, you did ask. (HA)

I must agree with others, I don't have just "one" favorite non Duke western. I have several. From the golden era(1970 and earlier) there is High Noon, The Magnificent Seven, Winchester 73, Once Upon A Time In The West, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, 3:10 to Yuma, just to name a few.
And from the newer era( 1970 to present) The Outlaw Josey Wales, Silverado, Quigley Down Under, Dances With Wolves, Tombstone, and Open Range. Its hard to pinpoint just one.

Hi

When you look at the previous lists it just goes to show how popular the western genre was, and hopefully may be again.

Certainly my list would include Winchester 73, The Gunfight At The OK Corrall, The Magnificent Seven, Ride Clear of Diabalo with Audie Murphy and Dan Duyrea (The best of both Worlds) and the films father Destry with James Stewart and La Dietrich) also a lot of the old cavary pictures with Jeff Chandler and Ronald Reagan, and then you have to include Randolph Scott and Glenn Ford. And not forgetting Gregory Peck.

Perhaps it might have been easier to ask which westerns didn't you like, but then you start another list.
Red Garters, Lust in the Dust (sorry Duel in the Sun), The Oklahoma Kid

oh my.

I think my favorite is Shane.

I think my picks would be Broken Arrow, Shane, Drumbeat, Winchester 73, Duel in the Sun and My Darling Clementine!!! I think these films kind-of Date me. Chilibill

Oh and "High Noon" a great film with the Coop!!!

Mine would be Shane, High Noon and The good the bad and the ugly.

A special mention also to The Magnificent seven while its not as good as the above movies its a lot of fun and iconic in its own right.

I like so many Westerns that it's tough to just choose one, especially when it has to be a non-Duke Western! I'll just name a few:

Bend of the River-- Plus every other Anthony Mann/James Stewart collaboration!

Gunfight at the O.K. Corral-- First time I ever saw Burt Lancaster, I was 13 and he impressed the heck out of me! So much authority in the way he moved and acted.

The Outlaw Josey Wales-- Quotable from start to finish.

High Noon-- A classic in every way, even if it is a bit "creaky" at times.

Man Without A Star-- Little-known Kirk Douglas Western with ichard Boone as a great bad guy.

I too thought Burt was great - he was right up near the top of my favorite actor list. In fact, I just realized I forgot to put another western starring Burt in my favorite western list and that was "Lawman".

as i have been told by some it is classed as a western then my pick will have to man from snowy river just have to support our movie makers
cheers smokey

Hi

I liked Burt Lancaster particulary in Vera Cruz with Gary Cooper, and in the Hallalujah Trail which although it was a piece of nonsense it did show Lancaster off as a good comedy actor.

This is too difficult for just one, but I will list three:

Duel in the Sun, My Darling Clementine, and The Westerner with Gary Cooper and Walter Brennan. I think Walter Brennan won an Oscar and he deserved it.

Ride the High Country. I've read that Wayne wanted to be in this film but Peckinpagh wouldn't cast him because no actor was his equal and the two leads needed to be on a par as were Joel McRae and Randolph Scott.

Lets see..how about

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
The Magnificent Seven
Silverado
Tombstone
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Lonesome Dove
Winchester '73

Hello All -

Besides many of those mentioned in the other posts on this subject, one of my favorite non-Wayne westerns would be "The Professionals." Not only is it a good character study of the protagonists, but also a rip-roaring actioner. Lee Marvin and Burt Lancaster play well off one another, while Jack Palance is no slouch either. And who can forget Claudia Cardinale as the requiste eye candy.

Cheers - Jay
