Poll at the OK Corral (Poll B)
Added 2023-04-04 05:16:35 +0000 UTCI'd like to welcome everybody to the Wild Wild West!
After Carly and I loved Tombstone so much and not getting as much Western as I want in Mando this season, we're doing it....Another Western Poll. There will be more, so don't worry if you're favorite isn't one of these!
THIS IS POLL B, ALSO GO VOTE ON POLL A, THE TOP TWO FROM EACH WILL FACE OFF IN A CHAMPIONS POLL!
Could be fun! Ends on Thursday at midnight MST
Ps. I have seen the newer True Grit, that new one with Chris Pine-Hell or High Water, and of course on the channel-Tombstone, Unforgiven, The Good The Bad and The Ugly and our winner from our last Western Bracket:MAVERICK!

2023-04-16 13:57:44 +0000 UTCI first ran across the channel in October 2021. The movie being reacted to was Casablanca and there were a few others in the offing. She was seeing others like Band of Brothers and others that were very appealing to me. I haven't been that interested in the ones that are current and can be seen on their own channel. Early on Patreon members could send a CD and it would be reacted to. I suspect that a lot of the older films were contributed by the higher tiered members. That was an attractive benefit. But pretty soon the membership became so large that Cassie couldn't physically keep up with the incoming contributions. This summer I will be retiring and moving to a fixed income and when my membership expires in November that'll be all for PIB except for YouTube. My ability to push for The Treasure of the Sierra Madre will be gone and I'll watch the ones I like.
Christopher Carr
2023-04-13 04:33:24 +0000 UTCThe demographics of this medium skews heavily towards younger people. And unfortunately, most don't care or are interested in anything that isn't recent or trending. Cassie herself has said prior to starting the channel she hadn't watched a movie older than the 90s. With few exceptions, the same can be said for many, many reactor channels.
Miles E Coburn
2023-04-12 14:32:46 +0000 UTCI don't think the average person in the PIB community has much awareness of some really great movies in the 50s and 40s. So much of those movies have become part of the lexicon of our culture. "We don't need no stinking..." just fill in the last word for your situation. That came from The Treasure of the Sierra Madre as well as other lines. The Searchers gets only 9%!? It is routinely rated as the best Western ever made! It gets 9%. If we can't do better than this the group is disappointing. Selection of a movie CANNOT be based on a popularity poll only. The giants on which the film industry is built will become vague memories. In terms beginning the group had promise but now it's mainly mini series and movies that late 80s and after.
Christopher Carr
2023-04-11 19:28:42 +0000 UTCI don't mean anything antagonistic by that; I like the movie, I just like playing with words and long ago I changed the name to amuse myself.

Dazman
2023-04-08 22:45:18 +0000 UTCuhm... no. They're among the best, but not the best. She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, The Searchers, Shane... The Tin Star was as good as was High Noon, as was The Gunfighter. My favorite western is probably still "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon". If she's going to react to "High Noon", she should make it a double-feature and also react to "Outland" the same day. I always liked Sean Connery better than Gary Cooper, anyway.
Jim Williams
2023-04-08 22:07:38 +0000 UTCI'm okay with the ORIGINAL Magnanimous Seven winning the poll, but I would have voted for The Searchers, which I like a lot better. Of course, I prefer politically incorrect to politically correct movies, so...
Jim Williams
2023-04-08 22:05:43 +0000 UTCblech. I hated McClintock, I hated Chisum. Two of Wayne's worst movies, IMO.
Jim Williams
2023-04-08 22:04:11 +0000 UTCCentennial would be such an awesome series for you to watch. Centennial is a real city in Colorado, but the story is fictional; an adaptation from a series of books.
Robert Nelson
2023-04-08 19:27:59 +0000 UTCIt was the Rain.
Larry Darrell
2023-04-08 16:49:52 +0000 UTCI'm all for a western poll every three or four months,perhaps 'Ambush' 'Westward the Women' 'Red River' 'Cat Ballou' 'Hondo' 'Shane' 'High Noon' 'How the West was Won',might all make it on future polls..or picks!ā”
Celeste McAllister
2023-04-08 16:21:16 +0000 UTCCassie has a copy of Red River in her collection,I sent it to her last November..
Celeste McAllister
2023-04-08 16:17:16 +0000 UTCI'm stoked that Magnificent Seven won!!! They were all good choices, though.
John Casamassa
2023-04-08 15:25:06 +0000 UTC| disappointed that neither poll contains High Noon Or Shanghai Noon, either... š
barnabas
2023-04-08 07:53:52 +0000 UTCGood point. High Noon and Liberty Valance are the two best Westerns made
Doug Cook
2023-04-07 15:56:02 +0000 UTCFor me, TMS has not dated well, I hope Cassie will watch Open Range also.
Joe
2023-04-07 15:12:33 +0000 UTCOpen Range is a modern classic, hope Cassie will watch it anyway. TMS is a fine movie, but typical Hollywood type Western of the time, and dated IMO.
Joe
2023-04-07 14:58:01 +0000 UTCSwitched my vote to The Magnificent Seven as TQATD clearly isn't going to win.
Richard Maurer
2023-04-06 17:28:07 +0000 UTCdisappointed that neither poll contains High Noon. Great movie, won 4 Academy Awards and among the first movies to be picked by the LIbrary of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry. Oh well, maybe next time. These are all good movies too though :)
Mike Carey
2023-04-06 16:52:21 +0000 UTCOpen Range!!!
Celeste McAllister
2023-04-06 15:39:02 +0000 UTCProbably the best acting by the Duke, outside of True Grit.
JW
2023-04-06 04:07:58 +0000 UTCOpen Range is an under appreciated film. A real gem. My second pick would be Pale Rider.
Brian Lowery
2023-04-05 23:47:31 +0000 UTCAgree 100% - Open Range is such a great UNDER-STATED story.
Terdell Ferguson
2023-04-05 21:07:04 +0000 UTCSome of us like Robert Mitchum more than John Wayne. Although I think this is his best film before the predictable persona and catch phrases. lol
Nolan Ryan
2023-04-05 20:01:50 +0000 UTCThis is a shame, because popcorn actually voted for open range.
Michael Lynch
2023-04-05 17:26:06 +0000 UTCOpen Range is a fantastic movie and the love story between Kevin Costner, and Annette Benning has a unique realness to it for the time period and their age.
Clifton Owens
2023-04-05 16:51:15 +0000 UTCMcLintock! its free on youtube with some favorites from A Quite Man* John wayne classic starring his son and Muareen O'Hara. Love what you do, Grand thanks to You and Carly!
Cojuancidence
2023-04-05 16:26:35 +0000 UTCTwo great suggestions. Red River was a true step forward for Wayne as an actor, and Clift was excellent, too.
Terry Wood
2023-04-05 14:22:17 +0000 UTCSearchers is the greatest Western ever made and you will love Open Range, but The Magnificent Seven is classic and lots of fun so I chose Magnifcent 7. I think you and Carly would enjoy it the most of all of these.
Timothy Williams
2023-04-05 12:11:35 +0000 UTCAhhh. I see
nick bell
2023-04-05 10:55:14 +0000 UTCThis is just the preliminaries where the top two from each poll join in to a Final Four of Westerns. Then things will get interesting.
Mike LL
2023-04-05 10:54:52 +0000 UTCHere is a shoutout to a couple of other Westerns that are poll worthy. Red River (1948) with John Wayne, Montgomery Clift, and the ever good looking Walter Brennan. Destry Rides Again (1939) with James Stewart and Marlene Dietrich (this is who Madeline Kahn was imitating in Blazing Saddles) about a lawman who won't wear a gun.
Mike LL
2023-04-05 10:53:22 +0000 UTCCmon everyone. Make it a tie so she has to watch both
nick bell
2023-04-05 10:21:58 +0000 UTC@Jon- ' ...YouTube comments, so always be sure to leave your ideas there' No. That is why I pay to be here.
Mike Lemon
2023-04-05 09:18:17 +0000 UTC'There will be more, so don't worry if you're favorite isn't one of these!' There are only 10 spots, not every movie ever made can fit on that list.
Mike Lemon
2023-04-05 08:45:37 +0000 UTC1. how about Little Big Man, Dustin Hoffman, 2. Tom Hanks in News of the World, 3. 100 rifles, Raquel Welch, 4. Red Sun, Charles Bronson, 5. a million ways to die in the west, Seth MacFarlane, 6. Wyat Earp, Keven Costner, 7. 2 Mules for Sister Sara, Clint Eastwood. a few really good westerns not on the list.
zynjams
2023-04-05 07:45:16 +0000 UTCAmen. Possibly the best western ever made imo. Its at least in the top 3
Rodger Johnson
2023-04-05 07:10:14 +0000 UTC@ Jason - well said.
Richard Maurer
2023-04-05 06:09:35 +0000 UTCAs far as the type of story Cassie and Carly would love, definitely Open Range. Not even close. They would absolutely love that one. Plus they're in love with Kevin Costner.
JSharp
2023-04-05 06:08:16 +0000 UTCThat is not necessarily a good reason to vote for it.
Richard Maurer
2023-04-05 06:07:07 +0000 UTCI agree with you but I am always trying to get any reactors to do The Outlaw Josey Wales. So many great one liners.
Captain Caveman
2023-04-05 04:32:22 +0000 UTCHow is The Searchers not winning? Cassie has yet to touch any classic westerns and that would be a great place to start. (Canāt do that without John Wayne.
Mr Trick
2023-04-05 03:53:48 +0000 UTCDefinitely Magnificent Seven.
TheCaptain359
2023-04-05 03:38:06 +0000 UTCMy top 5 Westerns Magnificent Seven 1960 True Grit The Good, The Bad and The Ugly 3:10 to Yuma 2007 Winchester 73 Most Westerns after 1990 are very meh.
Joseph Rardin
2023-04-05 03:29:25 +0000 UTCThe Big Trail is good as well.
Joseph Rardin
2023-04-05 03:22:58 +0000 UTCWhat!? Were you born after 1989? š¤š
Joseph Rardin
2023-04-05 03:19:29 +0000 UTCI've been patiently waiting for her to watch Magnificent Seven for a year now.
Joseph Rardin
2023-04-05 03:10:18 +0000 UTCGood question.
Jason Chirevas
2023-04-05 02:18:27 +0000 UTCNo, itās not. Weāre not here to service Cassie any more than sheās here to service us. Cassie has said from the outset PIB is about expanding her horizons. I wouldnāt even make the argument OPEN RANGE wonāt do that, but the āvote for what Cassie will like bestā philosophy is not why weāre all here. Itās also, frankly, boring and a little insulting to Cassie, as itās led, in part, to a lot of banal, milquetoast choices here.
Jason Chirevas
2023-04-05 02:17:34 +0000 UTCWhereās Once Upon a Time in the West?
Rosario Cicero
2023-04-05 02:13:11 +0000 UTCThe Searchers is, quite simply, the best Western ever made.
Brian O'Grady
2023-04-05 02:06:24 +0000 UTCAfter Good Morning Vietnam, Red River (1948) or Rio Bravo (1959) wouldāve been cool to watch. For Walter Brennanā¦ you know.
Larry Darrell
2023-04-05 01:13:46 +0000 UTCI agree as well.
David Thibodeau
2023-04-05 01:01:35 +0000 UTCI guess she'll have to come back to Shane. ;-)
Stick Figure Studios
2023-04-05 00:58:05 +0000 UTCWell.... If you vote for open range, and it wins, That means magnificent seven would come in second behind it and maybe she'd watch both! šš
'Pappy' Johnston
2023-04-05 00:27:27 +0000 UTCNonsense.
Jason Chirevas
2023-04-05 00:23:42 +0000 UTCVery emotional movie; seeing how they treated such a sensitive topic in the 50s was shocking both in how raw it was but also how filtered.
alex
2023-04-04 23:53:52 +0000 UTCOpen Range is soooo good. Plus it will open the door to Star Wars Andor as Diego Luna, who plays Button in Open Range, also plays Cassius Andor and is such a great actor. And Cassie, you're going to have to decide and just pick one (or have a poll of just his movies) if you ever want to watch a John Wayne movie and experience the GOAT. Don't see his movies ever winning internet polls. We lost him way too long ago and his legend is sadly fading.
David Collins
2023-04-04 23:49:05 +0000 UTCThe Searchers is the best film of the bunch by far, but I think it's a little bit too emotional for her to watch.
alex
2023-04-04 23:48:28 +0000 UTCPale Rider is my choice as I always liked the original The 7 Samurai more than The Magnificent 7. But you can't go wrong with Open Range either.
Adino1
2023-04-04 23:16:26 +0000 UTCI switched my vote to Open Range from... The Quick and The Dead (many good choices here)
Mannygogou
2023-04-04 23:11:33 +0000 UTCThe remake belongs on the of pile of unnecessary remakes that plague hollywood these days.
Richard Maurer
2023-04-04 23:00:50 +0000 UTCWyatt Earp came out around the same time as Tombstone. A lot more background into Wyatt. Stars Kevin Costner, Gene Hackman, and Dennis Quaid as Doc Holiday. You should really watch it, even if you do not do a reaction to it.
Robert Nelson
2023-04-04 22:57:22 +0000 UTCIt's hard to take you seriously but I'm trying.
Richard Maurer
2023-04-04 22:56:47 +0000 UTCI wonder if Cassie will ever watch the notorious western, Heaven's Gate (1980)? A film so notorious because it cost so much to make, bombed so badly at the box office that it financially ruined the studio that backed it. The very same studio that made the Rocky and James Bond films, United Artists.
JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS
2023-04-04 22:47:59 +0000 UTCAND, its got Alan Ritchson in case anyone else thinks that Cassie and Carly would absolutely love the Jack Reacher series.
Uncle Phoenix
2023-04-04 22:29:30 +0000 UTCHas anyone else noticed that Popcorn hasnāt watched āThe Wedding Ringerā, and itās not available on the Popcorn Request page. :-(
Uncle Phoenix
2023-04-04 22:25:36 +0000 UTCMagnificent Seven, please. It has the same director (John Sturges) as The Great Escape. He should be better known as one of the great directors. The Searchers is great, and you should eventually see that, too.
Tom Holman
2023-04-04 22:00:57 +0000 UTCFair enough. I guess it is your unofficial trilogy after all. Your prerogative to decide what goes in it.
Stick Figure Studios
2023-04-04 21:41:21 +0000 UTCThanks for that!
Richard Bourne
2023-04-04 21:36:55 +0000 UTCThere were four movies in the original series. Return of the Seven (1966) only Yul Brynner returns in the first sequel. Guns of the Magnificent Seven (1969) George Kennedy is recast in the Yul Brynner role! The Magnificent Seven Ride! (1972) whole new cast starring Van Cleef. Remake of the original was 2016.
Mike LL
2023-04-04 21:33:01 +0000 UTCThe original, the American remake, then the parody. It's the complete halflife of a cinematic trope. The newer Magnificent 7 didn't add anything new to the conversation. Also I think Three Amigos is a much better film.
Neill Shaughness
2023-04-04 21:29:47 +0000 UTCI didn't think it was that bad. I enjoyed it myself. Definitely the weakest of those three, but still doesn't it feel like a more fitting final entry in that trilogy than THREE AMIGOS?
Stick Figure Studios
2023-04-04 21:27:13 +0000 UTCThis is true! Amazing absence of dust!
Mike LL
2023-04-04 21:26:03 +0000 UTCI'm not sure about the way you put that, but I'm on your side. Robby R. Open Range might not be the best movie, but it would be the movie that Cassie (and Carly!) would like the best! Isn't that what this should be all about?
Mike LL
2023-04-04 21:24:14 +0000 UTCI really did think that when I saw Open Range in the movie theater. "Man, those gunshots are LOUD!" Thunder, too!
Mike LL
2023-04-04 21:21:45 +0000 UTCThat's fair, I just usually figure most people see that as kids, but it's definitely a strong part of the tradition.
Neill Shaughness
2023-04-04 21:20:16 +0000 UTCForgot about A Bugās Life.
Larry Darrell
2023-04-04 21:17:50 +0000 UTCI don't recommend the new Magnificent 7 in any capacity
Neill Shaughness
2023-04-04 21:12:42 +0000 UTCI'm voting for it as well. I liked OPEN RANGE and wouldn't be too upset if it won, but I think Cassie needs to watch more classic westerns.
Stick Figure Studios
2023-04-04 21:12:01 +0000 UTCHow old are you Casey? I bet you prefer the remake.š¤¦āāļø It will win the poll š„³
John Cranberry
2023-04-04 21:08:29 +0000 UTCI don't think so. Not even close really. Little Bill was not an outright villain. He was more complex than that. Yes, he was an authoritarian, but he had his own personal moral code and he really felt that he was doing the right thing. He was just trying to keep law and order in his town but he did it ineffectively and his failure resulted in havoc. Herod didn't care about law or order or any kind of morality. Right or wrong meant nothing to him. He was on a power trip and he reveled in the chaos he created. He was an outright villain with no redeeming qualities at all. You could hardly find two antagonists played by the same actor who are more dissimilar.
Stick Figure Studios
2023-04-04 21:07:25 +0000 UTCAgree 10000 %
Bill Maurer
2023-04-04 21:06:50 +0000 UTCOpen Range was filmed in Alberta, Canada as well
Bill Maurer
2023-04-04 21:06:15 +0000 UTCOpen Range is the best of these. I would also add the remake of The Magnificent Seven with Denzel Washington and Chris Pratt is superior to the original. I was shocked when my dad told me he thought that, and after contemplating on it for a while, I think I agree.
Terdell Ferguson
2023-04-04 21:06:09 +0000 UTCI would think the recent MAGNIFICENT SEVEN remake would be the third entry in the trilogy.
Stick Figure Studios
2023-04-04 20:57:51 +0000 UTCThe Searchers is a top 10 film of all time, not just Westerns. John Ford directs and John Wayne stars. The film has a subtle plot point thatās obvious but so many miss. Itās a commentary on racism disguised as a Western revenge film. One of Wayneās best performances. John Ford also directed The Quiet Man.
Terry Wood
2023-04-04 20:50:20 +0000 UTCAlready did. I figured Cassie would like Open Range the best.
Rick Williams
2023-04-04 20:36:50 +0000 UTCThe Searchers and Magnificent 7 are great classics.
Rick Williams
2023-04-04 20:35:41 +0000 UTCAll good movies. Open Range has a romance that Cassie and Carly would like.
Rick Williams
2023-04-04 20:33:28 +0000 UTCThere is a little know 1972 movie "The Magnificent Seven Ride!" starring Lee Van Cleef. Not a big budget movie, but still pretty good and follows the story of "The Magnificent Seven" for the most part with a few changes.
Richard Bourne
2023-04-04 19:48:52 +0000 UTCIt's hard to take a movie as unexceptional as QatD seriously.
Dave Sees Movies
2023-04-04 19:46:12 +0000 UTCCassie and Carly loved Tombstone. They'll love another comic book western. The Quick and The Dead.
G
2023-04-04 18:35:04 +0000 UTCSurprised to see The Magnificent 7 pull ahead of Open Range. If it's close near the end I may change my vote from QatD to Magnificent 7.
Richard Maurer
2023-04-04 18:19:42 +0000 UTCI think I'm on the wrong spaceship.....
Jon Freezin-Rain
2023-04-04 18:12:15 +0000 UTCQatD, like all Raimi's movies, isn't meant to be taken all that seriously, certainly not as seriously as you people are taking it. It's meant to be a bunch of cool gunfights with a little bit of story behind them - which is exactly what it is. . Your last name is pretty cool too, Bill.
Richard Maurer
2023-04-04 18:11:32 +0000 UTCOpen Range has Kevin Costner, beautiful NON DUSTY cinematography, and a love story built in ta' boot! So vote OPEN RANGE for Cassie.
'Pappy' Johnston
2023-04-04 18:10:34 +0000 UTCMy only regret is that SILVERADO is not on either list.
Steven Perez
2023-04-04 17:54:46 +0000 UTCGreat point, not so sure about Three Amigos. But Magnificent 7 is straight out of Seven Samurai
Bill Maurer
2023-04-04 17:51:24 +0000 UTCGood movie, doesn't come close to The Searchers or even Magnificent 7.
Bill Maurer
2023-04-04 17:50:39 +0000 UTCIn this poll, Wayne has 4 out of 20 of the Top Westerns and you can make a case for adding El Dorado, Man who Shot Liberty Valance and True Grit https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/best-western-movies-cowboys-b2242813.html
Bill Maurer
2023-04-04 17:46:58 +0000 UTCI strongly recommend seeing Seven Samurai before Magnificent 7. I usually advise people to treat Seven Samurai, The Magnificent 7, and finally The Three Amigos as a trilogy
Neill Shaughness
2023-04-04 17:18:02 +0000 UTCI think what we learned in the Roger Moore Poll, is that there is a Silent Majority.

Robby R
2023-04-04 16:31:56 +0000 UTCI'd say Robin Hood is the best Kevin Costner movie but that's an Alan Rickman movie that Kevin Costner is in! ;) :D
Hondo the Cat
2023-04-04 16:22:20 +0000 UTCWorst movie on this list by leaps and bounds
thomas king
2023-04-04 16:11:31 +0000 UTCI love "Silverado." Loooooove it. But I'm not sure it's a good movie.
Dave Sees Movies
2023-04-04 16:08:36 +0000 UTCWhat's to get? It post-AoD and pre-Spider-Man when Raimi was figuring out what to do and more or less getting nothing right, aside from maybe "A Simple Plan." "The Quick and the Dead" has a limp screenplay and all Raimi's directorial flourishes just make the limp stuff between action set-ups stand out. Barf.
Dave Sees Movies
2023-04-04 16:07:41 +0000 UTCBetter than all but one.
gary crow
2023-04-04 16:06:48 +0000 UTCNot surprisingly, the two best in that group are winning right now. For future polls, let me recommend Big Jake -- my favorite John Wayne western, and The Wild Bunch -- one of the best ever.
Bruce C Snell
2023-04-04 16:05:30 +0000 UTCBest Western ever made and one of the greatest films of all time. I agree
Bill Maurer
2023-04-04 16:04:18 +0000 UTCShane is a great movie. Stood the test of time and is still awesome to watch.
Bill Maurer
2023-04-04 16:02:46 +0000 UTCBest Western ever made and one of the greatest movies of all time. It only went on to inspire the likes of Spielberg and Scorsese. But, what do they know
Bill Maurer
2023-04-04 16:01:19 +0000 UTCMy favorite movie in this lot (not the best) is "Pale Rider," but as it has no legit shot at winning, gotta go with the western with the loudest SFX ever: "Open Range."
Dave Sees Movies
2023-04-04 16:00:45 +0000 UTCBingo !!! It's not a real Western, it's what the 1990's thought a Western should be. If it wasn't for a young Leo or Russel Crowe (before they made it big), no one would have heard of this movie
Bill Maurer
2023-04-04 15:59:16 +0000 UTCNext western poll, I have a suggestion. Two Mules for Sister Sara Clint Eastwood and Shirley Maclaine. I think it's a western the girls will like.
Powers209
2023-04-04 15:57:41 +0000 UTCClint Eastwood's best Western and possibly best movie he ever was in.
Bill Maurer
2023-04-04 15:57:28 +0000 UTCI love Sam Raimi: Evil Dead series, Spiderman 1 and 2 (not so much 3), A Simple Plan and Oz. QatD is just not that good a movie, my opinion, and a bad western. It is a 1990's version of a Western should be. Just my two cents. Nice last name.
Bill Maurer
2023-04-04 15:56:51 +0000 UTCI don't know how you got that impression at all... But I guess we all see different aspects. Which is fine! I saw they really liked it...
Jon Johns
2023-04-04 15:56:48 +0000 UTCSo many of these films came from YouTube comments, so always be sure to leave your ideas there, and also up vote your choices on the suggestions app! There are not a lot of westerns in the top 25 there.

Matthew S Graham
2023-04-04 15:40:03 +0000 UTCOpen Range is such a great movie. A little slow early on, but the climax is worth the ride! Plus I know you girls LOVE Kevin Costner ;)
Paul Mellette
2023-04-04 15:39:16 +0000 UTCAll of the above are winners..
Celeste McAllister
2023-04-04 15:27:18 +0000 UTCAll the directors of above films were inspired by 'The Searchers', starring the #1 box office draw for more than 40 years John Wayne and it's legendary director John Ford...This time we will get a real western not a reboot of a 1960's TV series..
Celeste McAllister
2023-04-04 15:25:18 +0000 UTCThis was a tough choice for me. Both The Searchers and The Magnificent Seven are so iconic and classic but they both have a lot of backstory to learn. I voted for Open Range this time.

Lana Gorgeous
2023-04-04 12:13:07 +0000 UTCWith the greatest of respect, True Grit (remake) is one of the grimmest Westerns ever made. I've watched enough of Cassie's reactions to know that some of the darker movies aren't really to her taste but she watches them for us anyway. True Grit is just... on another level. Can we at least pair it up with Paint Your Wagon to restore her mood afterwards?
Hondo the Cat
2023-04-04 12:08:22 +0000 UTCNot even..The original Magnificent 7 was terrible. Typical Cheesy 1960 Film with terrible acting, sound and cinematography.
Casey Nicholson
2023-04-04 11:39:16 +0000 UTCPersonally, The Quick and the Dead would be my last pick on this poll - cheesy, unrealistic plot, and terrible acting - I don't know how anyone could think it even deserves to be on the poll,... it's flashy and violent and totally unrealistic as a western. It mocks the historical west.

Jason Chirevas
2023-04-04 11:22:29 +0000 UTCEither of the Magnificent Sevens pale in comparison to the original film on which they were based, Akira Kurosawa's masterful "Seven Samurai," which is universally regarded as one of the greatest films in all cinema history. For some reasons films in foreign languages are rarely covered by youtube reactors. I suppose it's because American audiences (and I suspect the vast majority of reactors' viewers are American) mostly don't watch foreign films. I put it down to our generally insular culture.
Elliot Nesterman
2023-04-04 11:21:09 +0000 UTCThe magnificent 7 has to win this. Has everything and all the classic old school stars. Seven Samurai for the win!
rakesh
2023-04-04 11:19:07 +0000 UTCBig vote here for Open Range. The other contender is a western remake of a Japanese samurai film that I'm one of the few who think is overrated. But Open Range you'll love.

Michael Lynch
2023-04-04 10:49:49 +0000 UTCHands down, the best reaction of all these movies would be Open Range. Some of the other movies might even be better MOVIES, but Cassie and Carly would both LOVE Open Range. I have to vote the best REACTION over the best MOVIE.
Mike LL
2023-04-04 10:36:35 +0000 UTCThere are so many posts in favor of Open Range. It has my vote. I don't understand why it is not ahead since it has the most posts in favor of it.

Chad Bailey
2023-04-04 10:32:33 +0000 UTCYou spoke too soon, before Mag 7 pulled ahead. Mag 7 is a fine movie and Western, Open Range would be so much better as a reaction vehicle for Cassie and Carly. They both would LOVE Open Range.
Mike LL
2023-04-04 10:31:05 +0000 UTCRight on!
Mike LL
2023-04-04 10:28:17 +0000 UTCIt is the Cassie and Carly movie of these two polls. They both would love it and it would be a very entertaining reaction.
Mike LL
2023-04-04 10:24:15 +0000 UTCOPEN RANGE is one of my all-time favorite movies. Action, romance, and one of the best showdowns in Western cinematic history. I predict that you and Carly would love it.
Steven Perez
2023-04-04 10:22:53 +0000 UTCHaha, I've seen one of these, heard of two.
YodatheHobbit
2023-04-04 09:59:47 +0000 UTCFair. I didnāt want to go with the other end of the spectrum, like āSupport Your Local Gunslingerā or āPaint Your Wagonā, but I wasnāt sure how far to go. Cassie is definitely putting on her big girl pants for this channel, sorry if I jumped the gun though. The old Clint Eastwood stuff (High Plains Drifter, Fistfull of Dollars, etc) can also be intense. Another seriously good Western from the 70ās is āLittle Big Manā (Dustin Hoffman, Faye Dunaway, Chief Dan George, Richard Mulligan). It walks that delicate balance between comedy and tragedy without screwing up either.
Gary Trousdale
2023-04-04 09:46:07 +0000 UTCThe original Magnificent Seven was my Dad's favorite. It is a great movie!

2023-04-04 09:23:58 +0000 UTCIf you do the original Magnificent Seven make sure you do the new version too some time. Denzel and Chris Pratt are awesome in it. Everyone is. Too many people to name.

2023-04-04 08:02:25 +0000 UTCDefinitely seems to be a recency bias in thesee polls given that the two westerns leading were made post-2000. I'm not opposed to OPEN RANGE winning. It's a good flick, but I'm going with the original MAGNIFICENT SEVEN.

Robert da Spruce
2023-04-04 07:47:32 +0000 UTCWauw, five amazing westerns - "The Quick And The Dead" is a huge personal favorite - Sam Raimis cool style of directing combined with a stellar cast and fantastic music. But my pick is "The Magnificent Seven" - the 60s version is a impressive ensemble piece of wonderful actors and the story is just as good. It was inspirered by the japanese movie "The Seven Samurai" by Akira Kurosawa...

2023-04-04 06:55:57 +0000 UTCBasically the same character as Unforgiven.
Bill W
2023-04-04 06:54:50 +0000 UTCYes thatās another reason Cassie might love/hate Hostiles. I was suprised with Unforgiven to its good but as someone new maybe start with the spaghetti Westerns of the 50s/60s even I found Unforgiven a bit dark. Itās a great film but like you said sheās new to the Western genre.
Scb333
2023-04-04 06:46:53 +0000 UTCExactly. If she really does appreciate Westerns sheāll love it but for now yes a bit too intense for her lol.
Scb333
2023-04-04 06:42:39 +0000 UTCPeople have to remember WHO they are recommending a film to. The fact that so many were recommending "Unforgiven" to someone who had never seen a Western movie and had no grounding in the history or genre as her FIRST FILM shows that people only think about what THEY like, not what is appropriate or enjoyable to see someone react to.
Sean Novack
2023-04-04 06:38:24 +0000 UTCAgreed. Hostiles is like Unforgiven in the same way as it should be watched much, much further down the list of Westerns. Cassie is still in the 101 Class, and Hostiles is a little too Advanced.

2023-04-04 05:51:03 +0000 UTCI got the impression that they didn't like Tombstone all that much. Guess I was wrong. Open Range has to be the winner. Love the interaction between Cosner and Duvall.

2023-04-04 05:48:41 +0000 UTCInteresting, I was just thinking about Open Range and thinking that it would be a great one for Cassie to view. One of Kevin Costner's best performances, and you can't go wrong with Robert Duvall or Annette Benning.
Jim Finley
2023-04-04 05:40:45 +0000 UTCThe biggest problem with both polls is that there are so many fantastic westerns that itās impossible to compile a reasonably sized list, or even two or three, that wonāt inevitably leave off movies that deserve to be included.
