Topic	Board 8 Ranks: Westerns! The Official Results Topic
StifledSilence 08/03/21 8:46:00 PM #36:	You were close. It was a John Wayne movie... #29. Stagecoach 164 points CoolCly 17 Pokewars 21 Inviso 22 Johnbobb 23 Stifled 26 Karo 27 KBM 28 Very poor plot synopsis: Imagine there are a bunch of people trapped in an elevator. Now imagine the elevator is using Super Nintendo Mode-7 and is being pulled by horses. For good measure, imagine the horse-drawn elevator being attacked by a tribe of Native Americans for reasons no one will bother to explain very well. Oh, and this one dude on the elevator with you is a wanted criminal, but pay that no mind. Hes a GREAT GUY. Why it was included: Believe it or not, Stagecoach was a big deal when it came out. Westerns were considered a sort of b-movie type of entertainment around this time. Then Stagecoach came along and people started taking them more seriously. Along with the genre itself, director John Ford, and star John Wayne also got huge career boosts from Stagecoach. As if that werent enough, Stagecoach was also an originator of the toss a bunch of people with different personality quirks together in a tight space or bad situation trope found in many movies, including a few others on this list! This is also probably the most stereotypical western kind of western on the list with outlaws, battles with the Natives, horses, the cavalry coming to the rescue, saloons, frontier scenery porn, and more all crammed into one movie. For better or worse, I am definitely doing my job showing you folks the history of the genre. What Stifled thinks: Despite the low ranking, I actually quite enjoyed Stagecoach. It suffered from the treatment of Native Americans as a group of feral wild animals out for blood, of course. And I could care so less about Ringos tacked on bullshit at the end of the film. But the chemistry between the cast was quite good. The excellent battle on the moving stagecoach was the best part of the movie, and should have served as the climax, save for a small scene or two afterwards. Forget saying it was good for its time, that sequence was good for any time. I was impressed. Also, any Disneys Robin Hood fans out there probably noticed the voice of Friar Tuck was the driver of the stagecoach! --- Bear Bro The Empire of Silence <cite>StifledSilence posted [p:956751344] in Board 8 Ra...
