- Let's take a look at some little or less known westerns that somehow have been forgotten in time and collecting dust. Reach into the back of the cupboard and dust off some of these lost gems. Clearly not entirely forgotten.
The Western, followed by viewers of all generations, depicts adventures in the Old West and the challenges of Frontier life, one of the most loved of all genres.

Great list of classic westerns. If you could add a couple others, how about 1968 'Villa Rides' and a really forgotten great one, 1972 'The Culpepper Cattle Co.'.
I have mentioned them in other videos I made. Take a look in my channel. Thanks
I just re-watched for the first time in 44 years, the Long Riders. A great film! I would include in this list, Will Penny and The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid. The Beguiled with Clint may not exactly be a Western but I think it should be included. It's a intriguing film.
The Outlaws was a science fiction/western where some outlaws in the 1870s were escaping from the law and were struck by lightning. They woke up to find they were in the middle of Dallas Texas in the 1970s. This was a short lived tv show.
Will take a look, thanks
@@famouspeople63 It was a short lived TV series from 1986. Rod Taylor starred.
Of these, one of the best known (and one of my favorites) is My Name Is Nobody. I can rewatch that anytime!
What's sad is that so many older films (regardless of genre) are forgotten by most post Boomers. B&W are especially unwatched. A shame, because most of my favorite films are B&W classics. Young folk are often surprised by the wit and acting in these older films (rather like in older folk, once you get to know them!).
Major Dundee, enjoyable movie. The Long Riders might be one of the best versions of the James story (more than 25 movies have been made of the Jessie James story) and it includes the song "I'm Just a Good Ole Rebel," so that's a plus. My favorite Italian Western (not a big fan of most of them, too much melodrama and all those comic ultra close-ups of eyes shifting and mouths chewing on cigars) is Man of the East. Ulzana's Raid is definitely an overlooked movie, excellent work and Lancaster does a superb job acting in it, good script.
Thanks for your thoughts
Here are a few of my favorite forgotten westerns: 1: Drum Beat: Alan Ladd versus Charles Bronson. 2: The Texan: Gary Cooper and Fay Wray. 3: To The Last Man: Randolph Scott, Esther Ralston and ( yes Shirley Temple). 4: Six Black Horses: Audie Murphy versus Dan Duryea ( my favorite Murphy film). 5: The Man From Colorado: Glenn Ford, William Holden.
Thanks for the list, familiar with some but not all.
Six Black Horses, great one.
All five movies I picked had a star in the Western Performers Hall of Fame, so they should be worth watching by all western fans.The most obscure is The Texan ( 1930). It was remade as Branded with Alan Ladd. My personal favorite of the five was To The Last Man ( 1933). Besides Scott and Temple it had Buster Crabbe and John Carradine just starting out, and a shocking death scene you will not see repeated in a Western until the 1960’s
Major Dundee and Ulzana's Raid are in my top 10 of greatest Westerns. For me they're cut above the other films on this list. Ride Lonesome is a personal favourite.
i agree with Major Dundee and Ulzana's Raid........ two of my personal favorites
Burt Lancaster and Charlton Heston, how can you go wrong?
Major Dundee and Cavalry Charge combined inspired a play pattern for my son. He had Union, Confederate, and Cowboys against Mexican Army and Native Americans! Both sides had cannons, but the Union also had 5 Gatling Guns!
Ulzana is possibly the 1st Hollywood film to comment on the Vietnam War
Arguably, yes.
Yes, only as a metaphorical statement. The non western Limbo1972 can claim to be the first. And it is difficult to believe how any spaghetti Western could be underrated. Apart from one or two. t,hey are awful.
No. The first one was THE PROFESSIONALS. Then SOLDIER BLUE and LITTLE BIG MAN.
Great list. Each one has their perks. There was only one "official" sequel to Django. The distributors used Django in the title of dozens of SW films to cash in on the Django name. Most did not even use the name Django for the main characters name.
A few more forgotten western comes to mind "The Grey Fox" 1982 star Richard Farnsworth director Phillip Borsos ,Then there`s a trio of TV western`s Tom Selleck starred in after "Quigley Down Under" they are "Last Stand at Sabre River" 1997..director Dick Lowry / "Crossfire Trail" 2001..director Simon Wincer / "Monty Walsh" 2003..director Simon Wincer , all are dam good westerns , Another Good but forgotten Tv western is "The Outsider" 2002.. director Randa Haines stars Tim Daly , Naomi Watts , John Noble & the Carradine Brothers Keith & David ....
Thanks for a worthy list
Yeah them Tom Selleck westerns were darn good ones. I would of like to seen him continue doing western movies as he always fit the part, much like Eastwood.
Crossfire Trail is excellent, direction and acting (Lamour's story, so the writing is outstanding too) both, and definitely overlooked. Seen it many times. Lots of little patches of good humor too. Just a little joy of a movie.
Thank y'all, enjoyed it deeply. Never found a Major Dundee uncut version . He watched confederate p o w s and no criminals...The Long Riders had the bad luck to appear with Star Wars at the same time. Cole Younger wore a kind of bulletproof vest made from different layers Buffalo hide. He was hit between 11 and 17 times. We never forgot Ulzanas Raid. All the best. Ludwig
Thanks
From what I've read, Charlton Heston had to finish directing Major Dundee because Peckinpaw just left the production to get drunk.
Long Ridders has some of the most brutal gunfights in cinema. Graphicly showing the James Younger gang getting shot to pieces in Minnesota.
Peckinpah was a notorious drunk
I read Heston's autobiography years ago. If I remember, he pretty much deferred his salary so Peckinpaugh wouldn't be fired. I don't remember anything about Chuck taking over for him.
I started to watch the film in grade school (!) not long after release. Some technical issue left it unfinished.
The film has a terrific supporting cast, just outstanding.
It's one of a handful of US movies to deal in any way with the French incursion into Mexico. The others I'm aware of are "Juarez", "Vera Cruz" and "Two Mules for Sister Sara."
Two interesting facts about Peckinpah: His uncle ( Roger) was a World Series winning manager with the Washington Senators. One person who despised Peckinpah ( and vice versa) was Maureen O’Hara.
When the Indian chief looks upon the dead soldiers and says,"Who will they send against me now?" Then the movie title shows up, Major Dundee, that is a thrilling moment. But then, instead of Charlton Heston Jim Hutton is the one that actually takes him down.
Actually it was the bugler played by Michael Anderson Jr. who took him down.
@@daleupthegrove6396 It has been a long time since I watched that movie so obviously I forgot. Thank you for correcting me.
What about "A Stranger in Town", and it's 2 sequels???😮
Glad you included the long riders but again you left out Soldier Blue which flopped in America due to the subject matter.
I have that in some of my videos, have a look in the channel
A lot of action but the film hit the Nam nail too hard. It is not on much.
Budd Boetticher’s surname is pronounced “Bett’-uh-ker.”
Thanks for the correction
I remember my kid brother coming home after Major Dundee, and saying, “Too much sex.”
Those were the days!
