Guys, I found it. I found the worst movie on Netflix.

Hidden Strike. Jackie Chan and John Cena.

John Cena was all I needed to hear. Fuck that Chinese worshipping guy.

Its a dying genre but as a fan of western movies old and new ( manifest destiny and western expansion fascinates me ), other than a few, I can't sit through most John Wayne movies. He may have been cool but really wasn't that good of an actor, IMO. Clint Eastwood is the GOAT.

I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve sat through unforgiven from start to finish.

It was the first Western I could watch, and when I did, I started watching the old ones. To me Unforgiven is a standard. I doubt I would have watched any of it wasn't for that movie.

I never really watched the old westerns until fairly recently, because new movies generally suck. I appreciate them more now.

I'm a super fan of the man with no name trilogy, especially the Good, Bad, and the Ugly. But yes, also, Unforgiven is legend.

Also, a big fan of Tombstone.

That's because John Wayne was really a Green Beret.

Haven't seen it and won't. Mentioned earlier in this thread but I have a general aversion to Jake Gyllenhaal movies.

You know what really threw it for me? Was all of the people marching in formation on the air field to random locations. I can overlook everything else. And I'm not kidding.

I started appreciating Westerns retroactively after I watched Unforgiven. Tombstone is a great movie, I've read quite a bit about it, it is extremely factually accurate. I even liked Young Guns. Then I started going back watching the older westerns, and I do dig the Clint Eastwood flicks more than the John Wayne westerns.

Does "honorary" really count, tho??

Despite growing up in the 80's I've never seen The Lost Boys. That is some campy, peak 80's shit right there.

Not a single Eastwood western approaches The Searchers.

Extraction 2: No build up, straight into the mission. "Hey your ex wife needs you to rescue your nieces and nephews from a Georgian prison"... extraction.

Also the dipshit son who somehow wants his dad who beats his mother is a bit annoying, but hey who doesn't love a fork in the road.

I remember a weird soundtrack that badly wanted to be 80's cool.

The Searchers and The Cowboys are two really good Duke movies.

Absolutely, but it was fantastic in it's own way.
