Board 8 > Board 8 Ranks Westerns: Sign Up/Info Topic

(+) Yeah! (+)

Howdy! Invisos MCU topic was a huge success and brought in a lot of new rankers to submit lists along with the Gauntlet Crew. Im hoping that trend will continue with the next list, Westerns! It will be hosted by me, StifledSilence.

Now your gut reaction might be that Westerns are all one-note, shoot the natives, white dudes in hats kinds of movies. In some cases thats definitely true. However! Westerns can also bend genres and show surprising versatility. Strong female leads? Strong black leads? Strong Hispanic leads? Lotsa spaghetti? Kung fu? Horror? Outer space? Whatever the fuck Wild Wild West is aiming for? Weve got that shit in spades, partner. Check this list out:

Westerns 1 (30)

Stagecoach (1939)
My Darling Clementine (1946)
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948)

You tell 'em I'm coming, and hell's coming with me!

Bone Tomahawk is on the list so obviously I have to be in.

That's why there's a little over 3 months to complete it! I've only seen 5/30 before

If you've seen half already, that's only 5 films/month

Would To Hell or High Water be considered a 'modern western'?

This topic just made me think about that question I had since seeing the movie in 2016.
If so I petition it being in topic 2.

Haha I meeeean Westerns 2 is a killer list as well. For example, I split the AFI top ten westerns of all time between the two lists.
