I love Westerns and I love Gary Cooper, but I'm not a fan of that movie.

The miniseries Lonesome Dove has been mentioned and I think that's about as good as stories and performances get.

Dances With Wolves and The Outlaw Josey Wales are great, great Westerns, IMO.

My favorite comedies are Dumb & Dumber, Christmas Vacation, Caddyshack, and Midnight Run.

Couldn't care less about musicals or sci-fi

I'm a huge fan of Westerns as well. There are so many great John Wayne films (John Ford) and Clint Eastwood Films, the list of great western actors is endless. Lonesome Dove is my favorite but it's a Mini-Series so I don't think I can count it as A FILM, per say. You know, I might actually have to go with Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid as best Western Film. JMO of course.

It's been on a number of lists already but The Shawshank Redemption is one of those movies I've never been able to fully get on board with. Don't get me wrong, it's good but I think it's a little overrated. Despite its length, I actually enjoy The Green Mile more.

I can appreciate that view about High Noon.It is not a typical western movie.John Wayne thought that the movie was "un -American".Cooper's marshall character made a big impression on me growing up(along with Peck's Atticus Finch).

 

[Fizziksman]

The Godfather, and Grave of the Fireflies

that was a great fricking movie did you cry? i know i did.

 

[Rynie]

I was all about the cheesy 80's ninja movies. Still have some on VHS. Sho Kosugi was the man!

 

[67CowboysFan]

Comedy - Christmas Vacation
