OP WESTERN MOVIES<br />
Deans top 6:<br />
10 - (a flawed western) One Eyed Jacks, a 1961 film directed<br />
by Marlon Brando and was originally directed by Stanley Kubrick.<br />
Brando is the lead character and it also features Karl Malden<br />
and Katy Jurado.<br />
9 - The Magnificent Seven made in 1960 with a huge cast including<br />
Yul Brynner, Eli Wallach, Steve McQueen and Charles<br />
Bronson plus a ton more. Directed by John Sturges and also<br />
added to the U.S National Film Registry for preservation. As<br />
Phil says, it wasn’t originally a hit in the U.S until they changed<br />
the marketing campaign, which it then became a hit. Based<br />
on a Japanese movie - Samurai Seven, it’s not only a great<br />
movie but has a great musical score! (listen here : https://youtu.<br />

8 - Cowboys featuring Jack Lemon and Glenn Ford, the film<br />
is about a Chicago hotel clerk who falls for the daughter of a<br />
hotel guest and dreams about being a cowboy. The director is<br />
Delmer Davis.<br />
7 - Blazing Saddles - the 1974 satirical western directed by<br />
Mel Brooks and starring Cleavon Little and Gene Wilder ( who<br />
recently passed away) it’s a classic comedy that features a<br />
bunch of moments you have to see as they’ve now become<br />
classics!<br />
6 - High Noon directed by Fred Zinnemann in 1952 and starring<br />
Gary Cooper. Interestingly it’s almost told in real time - as the<br />
clock counts down to high noon. It’s the story of a town marshal<br />
forced to face a gang of killers by himself.<br />
phils top 6:<br />
For number 10, Phil has two pics:<br />
10 - The Oxbo Incident 1943, directed by William A. Wellman<br />
and starring Henry Fonda, Dana Andrews and Mary Beth<br />
Hughes. In 1988 this film was selected for preservation in the<br />
U.S National Film Registry.<br />
10 - The Professional directed by Richard Brooks and starring<br />
Burt Lancaster. It’s based on the novel by Frank O’Rourke - A<br />
Mule for the Marquesa.<br />
9 - 3.10 to Yuma (1957 version) with Glenn Ford and Van Heflin<br />
and directed by Delmer Davis. Based on a short story by<br />
Elmore Leonard, and has been remade in 2007 and it too, was<br />
selected for preservation by the U.S National Film Registry.<br />
8 - The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance made in 1962 and featured<br />
James Stewart, John Wayne, Vera Miles and Lee Marvin.<br />
Directed by John Ford it is also preserved in the Film Registry.<br />
The story is about the myth and the truth behind the myth<br />
7 - The Magnificent Seven - already mentioned by Dean.<br />
6 - Rio Bravo from 1959 features John Wayne, Dean Martin,<br />
Ricky Nelso and Angie Dickinson, it’s directed by Howard<br />
Hawks and is based on the short story by B.H. McCampbell.<br />
Unlike High Noon, in Rio Bravo the towns folk offer to help the<br />
sheriff but he declines.<br />
