Greatest Western of All Time - Elite Eight

I like Eastwood a hell of a lot better, but the real argument for the Duke's films is that John Ford directed some of them.

Actually, I think The Outlaw Josey Wales is one of the better westerns, and is generally underrated.

Agreed!

Where else can you get things like:
"Fletcher, there's an old saying: To the victors belong the spoils.
There's another old saying, Senator: Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining. "
and
"Now remember, things look bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. 'Cause if you lose your head and you give up then you neither live nor win. That's just the way it is"
and
"I didn't surrender, but they took my horse and made him surrender. They have him pulling a wagon up in Kansas I bet."
and of course!
"Get ready, little lady. Hell is coming to breakfast!"

Seems like my predictions are mostly coming true. Now if Once Upon a Time in the West can get a few more votes. Sorry John Wayne fans, the dream ends here.

OUATITW and the Searchers - both out!

Great Odin's Raven, there's some educating to be done somewhere [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

One seeds all the way, foolz!


Does this mean that I have very 'classical' Western tastes, that Swede set up a kickass seeding system, or both?

Voting for one seeds doesn't mean you have "classical" western tastes... in fact it probably means the opposite.

Holy moly, I just checked this contest for the first time, and it looks like High Noon, The Searchers, and The Wild Bunch are all going to be shut out of the final four. I shouldn't be surprised with all the high schoolers running around, but that's a damn shame.
