The Big Picture From the earliest examples of the genre that made it such an icon of American cinema to the gloriously gritty films that came out of Europe in the '60s and '70s and even the insightful and revisionist spins of the modern-day, Westerns are rife with defining masterpieces that are the embodiment of genre perfection, like The Searchers. Likewise, there have been plenty of disastrous flops that have been well covered as well, like The Ridiculous 6.
Release Date July 8, 1971 Cast Warren Beatty , Julie Christie , Rene Auberjonois , William Devane Runtime 120 minutes Writers Edmund Naughton , Robert Altman , Brian McKay , Robert Towne , Joseph Calvelli 9 'City Slickers' Directed by Ron Underwood Part of the allure of Western cinema is the escape and adventure that it presents to so many. Few movies have embraced this wonder quite like City Slickers.
Release Date September 6, 2007 Cast Russell Crowe , Christian Bale , Logan Lerman , Dallas Roberts , Ben Foster , Peter Fonda Runtime 117 Writers Halsted Welles , Michael Brandt , Derek Haas , Elmore Leonard 7 'The Shootist' Directed by Don Siegel From pioneering Western adventures like Stagecoach to rousing pictures like Rio Bravo and even contemplative revisionist masterpieces like The Searchers, John Wayne’s career is emblematic of Hollywood’s triumphs in Western film-making.
A fun-fueled adventure of reckless comedy, bombastic action, and a twisty and enthralling story, The Mercenary is a sublime example of how much sheer enjoyment the Western setting can offer. However, its utter perfection must be challenged, considering Corbucci released Compañeros just two years later, also starring Franco Nero, which excels as the perfect marriage of Western tropes and buddy-comedy.
