Need Western Movie Suggestions - Non Mainstream

[bmhiii]

I need some suggestions for western movies that aren't the normal mainstream ones. Got all the John Waynes, Clint Eastwoods, Tom Sellecks (I think), Silverado. Also got a good amount of the old ones but have some room there to expand. Best I've seen lately is Appaloosa....

Anybody out there got any titles for me?

 

[calmex]

I suppose you've seen Leone's "Once Upon a Time in the West?"

 

[redlevel]

There are a bunch of good, old Westerns with folks like Charlton Heston, Glen Ford, and Henry Fonda, just to name a few. Will Penny is the name of one of the Heston films. There are a bunch of them that are really worth watching.

Non Mainstream?
How about Blood on the Moon with Robert Mitchum?

 

[7003006]

Man from Snowy River,although it's set in Australia is a very good movie and inspite of the accents it's basicaly a western.

 

[longhorn too]

"Tom Horn" starring Steve McQueen

 

[35Rem]

"Ride the High Country" has a Remington model 8 (autoloader) in it. Kinda neat.
Jimmy Stewart made a lot of good ones.
"Evil Roy Slade" is a silly one, has the dad from the adam's family is the main guy in it.

"100 Rifles" wasn't terrible. has Burt Reynolds, Jim Brown (football player), and <drumroll> Raquel Welch. She looks good as ever, so it makes up for Burt Reynolds...Ha Ha!

"The Hired Hand" Peter Fonda, Warren Oates
"Monte Walsh" LEE MARVIN version. I love Tom Selleck, but some movies DON'T get no better!

Glenn Ford made a bunch of great ones that I can't name. Who can name the one where Ford is a reformed gunfighter that Broderick Crawford comes gunning for??

 

[haggis]

"Valdez is Coming" with Burt Lancaster. It has one of my favorite dialog exchanges.

El Segundo - "You hunt buffalo?" (commenting on Valdez' skill with a Sharps)

Valdez - "Apache."

El Segundo - "When you do that?"

Valdez - "Til I know better."

[Marshwheeling]

One-Eyed Jacks

 

[max]

I have always liked The Magnificent Seven.

 

[HOUSTON RICK]

Non-mainstream western = 'The Legend of Evil Roy Slade' or "Little Big Man"

 

[VAdoublegunner]

Warlock (1959)

Henry Fonda, Anthony Quinn, and Richard Widmark. Probably Quinn's best role in a western. Even has Deforest Kelly. Often overlooked in many western collections but one of the best of the 50s.

 

[David LaPell]

Warlock with Henry Fonda
Desperate Trail with Sam Elliot
You Know My Name with Sam Elliot
Monte Walsh
Crossfire Trail
Last Stand at Saber River
Shane
Winchester 73
Mr. Horn with David Carradine
The Sacketts
High Times
The Shadow Riders
Riders of the Purple Sage

Thanks, folks, some good ones listed.

Lee, one of my favorite Glenn Ford movies is "The Sheepman". Excellent.

When I said "non-mainstream", I didn't mean weird...

Just looking for some I ain't thought of...

And don't say "Brokeback Mountain" or whatever "it" was...

Keep 'em coming!

Well, I guess it depends on how non mainstream ya wanna get, but here is a Japanese movie I recently watched:

Plot Summary for
Tampopo (1985)

In this humorous paean to the joys of food, the main story is about trucker Goro who rides into town like a modern Shane to help Tampopo set up the perfect fast-food noodle restaurant. Woven into this main story are a number of smaller stories about the importance of food, ranging from a gangster who mixes hot sex with food to an old lady terrorizing a shopkeeper by compulsive squeezing of his wares. Written by Reid Gagle

Tampopo, a widowed noodle chef, is helped to become a first class chef by truck driver Goro and friends. Food is the theme throughout this movie and it includes novel uses of food as erotic toy. Written by Andrew Mossberg

It is actually a pretty good movie!

 

[red14]

A Man Named Horse was good, second one was good, third one, not so much.

I liked Jeremiah Johnson, too!

"The Last Hunt" is correct. Also had Stewart Granger.

I watched Pale Rider again tonight. Knew it was a "Shane" remake but didn't realize it had a little Josey Wales in it. The girl falling for the guy and almost "getting into trouble" with a bunch of guys surrounding her ala Sondra Locke....

I think all 9 people that ever saw Monte Walsh (Lee Marvin) are here on this forum? Hugely underrated movie and performance IMHO. McCabe and Mrs. Miller (Julie Christie almost makes up for Warren Beatty). The already mentioned "Valdez is Coming", "Ulzana's Raid" too, if you like Burt Lancaster (which I always have!) I see Warlock made the cut! Comedy/drama "The Cowboys" (Glenn Ford & Jack Lemmon). "The Cheyenne Social Club" comedy/drama if you can suspend your disbelief about Jimmy Stewart running a chip shop and Henry Fonda being reluctant about using it's services?
Tom Horn (McQueen, what else do you need to know? And the stunningly beautiful Linda Evans).
The list goes on and on!
Great link on the westerns by year!

 

[Peter J.]

I'd suggest "McCabe and Mrs. Miller" and "the Missouri Breaks" with Marlon Brando and Jack Nicholson

 

[redlevel]

One of my all-time favorites is The Professionals with Lee Marvin, Burt Lancaster, Woody Strode, Robert Ryan, Jack Palance, Ralph Bellamy, and the stunning Claudia Cardinale.

I just might watch it again tonight.

"100 Rifles" wasn't terrible. has Burt Reynolds, Jim Brown (football player), and <drumroll> Raquel Welch. She looks good as ever, so it makes up for Burt Reynolds...Ha Ha!

I loved that movie. I saw it in the theater when I was in grade school. At the time, I was fascinated by Fernando Lamas shooting through multiple Yaqui Indians with his Colt .38 auto. I was also fascinated by Raquel Welch's "lungs"! When I saw it again as an adult, I started noticing things like the Garands carried by some of the soldiers in the Mexican Revolution. Years later, I saw it dubbed into Korean on TV in Korea. Korean film dubbers think that every man should sound like Orson Welles, and every woman like Jennifer Tilly. It was hilarious!

You want "non mainstream"? How about "Johnny Guitar" with Sterling Hayden and Joan Crawford? Sterling Hayden and Mercedes McCambridge both HATED Joan Crawford! It must have been like shooting a film on location with Hillary Clinton! It's a perfect over the top '50s western.

The first great non-mainstream Western that came to mind for me is

The Grey Fox (1982)

 

[35Rem]

Alias Jesse James
A Bob Hope western- Funny Stuff.
Bob is an insurance salesman that accidentally sells a life insurance policy to Jesse James, then is charged by his boss with not letting anything happen to him. Pretty funny movie.
