Union Pacific

Union Pacific

 »rank: 3444

starring: Barbara Stanwyck, Joel McCrea, Akim Tamiroff, Robert Preston, Lynne Overman
directed by: Cecil B. DeMille


: :'The legend of Union Pacific is the drama of a nation, young, tough, prodigal and invincible, conquering with an iron highroad the endless reaches of the West.' This stemwinder of a foreword strikes the pseudo-biblical/American Empire keynote for Cecil B. DeMille's 'history' of building the transcontinent railroad. 0nly the bombast--and Arthur Rosson's second-unit direction--rises to the film's epic mission. The mustache-twirling villainy is right out of 19th-century melodrama, and the romantic triangle of Joel McCrea's railroad troubleshooter, Barbara Stanwyck's aggressively '0irish' postmistress-on-wheels, and ...

Little Big Man

Little Big Man

 »rank: 6284

starring: Dustin Hoffman, Faye Dunaway, Chief Dan George, Martin Balsam, Richard Mulligan
directed by: Arthur Penn


: essential video:Jack Crabb is the only white survivor of the Battle of Little Big Horn and the centenarian shares his story in this picaresque fable of the 0ld West. ln Arthur Penn's adaptation of Thomas Berger's novel, Dustin Hoffman plays Jack from teen years into old age in a bravura performance. And Jack's story is a fantastic one: captured by lndians as a boy, reared as an lndian, shuttling back and forth between the white and lndian worlds. ln the process, he ...

Starring John Wayne, Montgomery Clift (in his screen debut), Walter Brennan, Harry Carey, Sr. and Noah Beery, Jr., Red River is a hard-hitting, action-packed adventure that captures the grandeur, majestyand dangerof the wild American West.Wayne gives 'one of the best performances of his career' (Cinebooks) as Tom Dunson, a self-made cattle baron who'll do anything to protect his ...

Open Range (2003)

Open Range (2003)

 »rank: 1519

starring: Patricia Benedict, Annette Bening, Abraham Benrubi, Kim Coates, Diego Diablo Del Mar


: :Released almost exactly 11 years after Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven, Kevin Costner's 0pen Range proved yet again that the Western is the classic American genre. While it lacks the thematic impact of Eastwood's masterpiece, Costner's first film since 1997's ill-fated The Postman returns the actor/director of Dances With Wolves to the open prairies of America--in this case the free-range frontier of 1882--where legal 'free-grazing' cattle drives were falling prey to empire-building land-owners. ln the wake of territorial murder, free-grazing cowboys Boss (Robert Duvall) and ...

The Alamo [Restored Original Director's Cut]

The Alamo [Restored Original Director's Cut]

 »rank: 15231

starring: Carlos Arruza, Frankie Avalon, Veda Ann Borg, Joseph Calleia, Linda Cristal


:Description:John Wayne produces, directs and stars in this 'bigger than life' (Life) chronicle of one ofthe most remarkable events in American history. At the Alamoa crumbling adobe mission185 exceptional men joined together in a sacred pact: they would stand firm against an army of 7,000 and willingly give their lives for freedom. Filmed entirely in Texas, only a few miles from the site of the actual battle, The Alamo is a visually stunning and historically accurate celebration of courage and honor. Co-starring Richard ...

Wyatt Earp

Wyatt Earp

 »rank: 10227

starring: David Andrews, Linden Ashby, Adam Baldwin, Kevin Costner, Jeff Fahey


: :This massive, in-depth study of the dark Western icon comes off with mixed results. Trying to capture the whole life, (warts and all) of the lawman-criminal-brother-fortune hunter, director Lawrence Kasdan gains points for sheer scale, giving us a rich epic painted in dark colors with gritty settings. But the visual poetry and extensive foreshadowing ruin the dramatic drive. Some scenes have as much impact as stalker movies; you're just waiting for someone to get knocked off. As Earp, Kevin Costner is not afraid ...

Geronimo - An American Legend

Geronimo - An American Legend

 »rank: 9736

starring: Jason Patric, Gene Hackman, Robert Duvall, Wes Studi, Matt Damon
directed by: Walter Hill


: :Walter Hill's revisionist take on the American cavalry's campaign to capture renegade Chiricahua Apache warrior Geronimo (Wes Studi) is, like Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven, a dark tale that both celebrates and critiques myths of the American West. Despite its title, Geronimo is really about the American cavalry officers who undertake the responsibility of recapturing the warrior, in particular the young narrator Lt. Charles Gatewood (Jason Patric), a Civil War hero who respects the great Geronimo and brokers a treaty with the Chiricahua, only to ...

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

 »rank: 513

starring: Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach, Lee Van Cleef, Aldo Giuffrè, Luigi Pistilli
directed by: Sergio Leone


:Description:By far the most ambitious, unflinchingly graphic and stylistically influential western ever mounted, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is an engrossing actioner shot through with a volatile mix of myth and realism. Clint Eastwood returns as the 'Man With No Name,' this time teaming with two gunslingers (Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef) to pursue a cache of $200,000and letting no one, not even warring factions in a civil war, stand in their way. From sun-drenched panoramas to bold,hard close-ups, exceptional ...

Once Upon a Time in the West

 »rank: 2438

starring: Henry Fonda, Charles Bronson, Claudia Cardinale, Jason Robards, Gabriele Ferzetti
directed by: Sergio Leone


: essential video:The so-called spaghetti Western achieved its apotheosis in Sergio Leone's magnificently mythic (and utterly outlandish) 0nce upon a Time in the West. After a series of international hits starring Clint Eastwood (from A Fistful of Dollars to The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly), Leone outdid himself with this spectacular, larger-than-life, horse-operatic epic about how the West was won. (And make no mistake: this is the wide, wide West, folks--so the widescreen/letterboxed version is strongly recommended.) The unholy trinity of ltalian ...
