once upon a time in the west leaves no doubt of its being the best western of all time. The actors and storyline are the best I have ever viewed.

Hi, Please help. I'm looking for the title of a movie that was show at the drive-in around 1953. I dont remember much except that the Indians would hide in the ground and jump out to attack the cowboys with tomahawks hitting them in the chest. They would then go back into the ground and wait. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I really dont think Tombstone is overated if anything i think its become an all time favorite movie for many. I love a respect all movies that everyone has mentioned because ive seen them all aswell. One question though? When you or anyone say a movie i overated what exactly are you rating? Come on!!! If you are really a western movie fan or a movie fan in general, you would know that 99% of a good movie becoming an all time great is thank's to the actor and the angel they carry when born with this talent to entertain us and make us follow them and love them. So they are who make movies great. Some of you know what im talking about when i mention an angel that not many actors are born with that some people fight to find that angel and achieve it, and other look for it all their lives and never find it. Ok changing subject Tombstone one of my all time favorite movies, look at all the great elements it has. Val kilmer, Kurt Russel, Bill Paxton, Sam Eliott, Billy Bob Thorton, I know for a fact that in one point of our lives we bumped in to a bully in school and would have loved to have said at least one of Val Kilmer's unforgetable lines and become a hero at least at that moment when everbody present would of heared… Or in Appoloosa when Viggo Mortensen calls guy out of bar to settle score out in the dirt road and does that incredible pose in dual close to the end of movie, A director can only direct so much but the actor makes the scene unforgetable. Dont overrate movies just because it becomes a rumor that a movie is overrated, Look at the movie alone or with someone who you can trust and that wont make fun of the emotions an actor makes you feel and then judge for yourself and remember if the scenes makes you cry gives you goosbumps or just makes you want to jump out of seat and start jumping like if you were the caracter that actor is potreing, those are the actors with an angel who make it happen for us and everytime you watch them in any movie you will always find something different the actor improvised for himself from all the experience he has, and we will say WOW we didn't catch that first time around, when an actor does that he or she is great!!! I would love to mention all my favorite movies and actors but for all us real movie fans there will always be an opportunity for someone to say "Who wants to play for blood" and i will say "Im your huckaberry" lol That'll be the day? Hahaha… Well thank you guys for reading. TTYL

I was shocked that SILVERADO was not in your list-I would have had it in the top ten! I'm 70 years old and have seen a lot of western movies all the way back to those Jonny Mack Brown serials.
SILVERADO had an unbelievable cast, a decent plot, good characters and some of the best western movie music written-almost Aaron Copeland like.
As I recall, when the movie came out in 1985 the reviews indicated that it brought back the westerns to the theaters.

I had recent opportunity to review your 100 greatest westersn of all
time, and have the following comments:

(1) I can't understand how you could have left the movie "
"Silverado" (1985) off the list. It was a western that contained
so many great elements of the best westerns of the 1930's and
1940"s. As a 62 year old who grrew up on these movies (starting
in the 1950's with the western roundup and western prarie theater
on New York channel 13), I did not expect my favorates, the Three
Mesquiteers (Stony, Tucon & Lullaby) to make the list. But such
movies as "Johnny Guitar" and "Ruggles of Red Gap", while good
movies, are at best the pimple on the posterior of Silverado

(2) While "High Noon" is a good movie, it does not come close
to the level of action and western style as such movies as
Stagecoach, Red River, or the Magnificent Seven. You may
want to rethink your pecking order

Seems like the film mentioned about money hid in a church was "thunderbolt and lightfoot" with Clint Eastwood and Jeff Bridges.
