He's just a bitter person because we share different beliefs. So he attempts to belittle me.

"You're so... so... so... bitter!!!" - my friends

"Okay, I admit it. It's because I share different beliefs with a guy on the internet. His name is OlympicOscar."

Well shit...

Fuck me then. I guess "The Outlaw Josey Wales" gets taken off my list.

Yes, and Open Range too. Oscar's never even heard of that one and without knowing a single thing about it, vehemently contends that it's "not even close" to meeting his requirements. Sorry, but you'll have to take them both off your list, Otis.

No it's not. 2 pictures I mentioned received the Oscar for Best Picture. The other Django Unchained, had repeated nominations. The movie you mentioned does not appear in any critics list of best westerns ever made.

I go to the movies twice a week (not Netflix). I'm an avid moviegoer and I never heard of this film. I'm sure there are others I've never heard of either. But if I've never heard of it, there is no way it's one of the all time greats.

Some of the other movies people mentioned I've at least heard of even though I may not have liked them. But that's personal choice.

Well - now you've heard of it.

And - you are seriously cheating yourself if you don't watch it.

But he's okay with "Unforgiving" so keep that one on your list.

Didn't even notice. :L

"I've never heard of Open Range but I guess you guys can watch Unforgiving."

Embarrassing. :L

It won the Oscar for Best Picture. Pretty classy western.

Oscar says it is, Otis. And he obviously knows what he's talking about. :L

Django is too new to rank. Don't know how film historians will rate it. Certainly a great western.

Next thing you know, I'm going to learn that the original Stagecoach actually sucked.

That's fine. I can deal with that.

What problem do you have with Unforgiven? Best Picture isn't good enough for you? Very few westerns have ever won that.
