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? Comedy? Kung fu? Horror? Outer space? Whatever the fuck Wild Wild West is aiming for? Weve got that shit in spades, partner. Check the list out in the next post!

Bear in mind, I made two lists. This is Westerns 1. Westerns 2 will be done in the future. Chances are, the movies you will be asking Stifled you moron, where is ____ are on that list.

I would like you nice folks to watch these movies and rank them from your favorite (1st) to your least favorite (30th). Feel free to include write ups as well. They can be as short or as long as youd like.

Send your lists to [email protected]

The deadline is June 6th, 2021. If more time is needed, Ill be happy to give an extension. But until then, feel free to discuss the list, show interest in participating, tell me to go to hell, whatever. Please enjoy!

NOTE: I am redoing the topic because I was able to add the True Grit remake to the list. The future Coen Bros project was divided up between Westerns and Crime films. The Ballad of Buster Scruggs will be added to Westerns 2 yay!

FYI, there might be better sites, but I find this one really great for telling me what's on what streaming service:

Bumps? We dont need no stinkin bumps!

(We actually do)
---

Sounds fun. I might give it a go.

---

A nice bump during AEW.

I wonder how many of these movies Hangman Page has seen?
---

on 5/30 now, about to wrap up the Dollars trilogy

---

Today I watched two movies on this list that made AFIs top 10 westerns of all time.

I thoroughly enjoyed one.

I thoroughly did not enjoy the other, to my surprise.
---

Evenin folks.
---

Imagine if the ending of Django Unchained had the power of Kenny Omegas exploding ring.
---

What do cowboys and wrestling fans both appreciate?

Dynamite!

Went to watch The Great Silence, and was immediately confused when I saw modern-looking cars

Turns out I accidentally downloaded the panned 2020 movie Before The Fire (originally titled "The Great Silence")

---

The Great Silence: Tokyo Drift
---

7 down, so as long as I get three more this month I'm still on track

Cat Ballou (1965)

I've heard that Jane Fonda was very upset that she had to play her character straight while Lee Marvin and the rest of the cast got to ham it up a bit. Here's the video:

https://youtu.be/bp7mDf53G_4

I have watched 7 movies thus far

I really want to believe that I somehow started out with the 7 worst movies in the project but I fear that is not going to be the case

Interesting. I mean...primarily her character is the straight man archetype while the others are supporting comedic foil. She had to have known that when she took the role. That said, I thought she had hammy moments too. Silly sexy Jane.

Haha I mean...if you dont like westerns, I kind of doubt youll like most of them. The 90s to present westerns will be more of your jam Im guessing.

If you need a good movie to fold laundry to, For a Few Dollars More is a winner.
---

13/30

Helps that I've seen a third of these right off the bat.

---

Yee haw bee hatches
---

13 down, and I saw my new last place this week

---

And when you take off her bra, she says yee haw.
---

My Hero Academia is a wonderful show.

Not a western though.
---

seen 12

I knew this list was incomplete somehow...

"Ya missed a spot."

---

Im guessing their version is far more watchable.
---

I just got this game called Luckslinger on the Switch. Its kind of like the hip-hop aesthetic of Samurai Champloo, only with spaghetti westerns. I highly recommend it.
---

2/3 of the way through!

---

Lotsa spaghetti (westerns)!
---

26/30 watched

Today I had a Bogart/Estevez double feature.
---

I think I just hit 21?

Blackjack!

I had a weird dream last night movies were available to watch on vinyl and I forced all of you to use vinyl for this project.

If the Man with No Name has a kid, would he name it? Or would it be No Name Jr?
