The Outlaw Josey Wales has been my favourite movie since I was a kid, and the book it came from Gone To Texas is also up there as one of my favourite books.
If Kevin Costner is such a stickler for accuracy in Open Range, why was his character Charlie able to fire 16-17 rapid fire shots from one single-action, six-shot pistol in the finale?
Belt-fed. If you look closely, you can see the ammo belt flapping in the breeze (only kidding). Same thing in "Tombstone" during the O.K. Corral shootout with Doc Holiday.
According to the Jesse James Birthplace Museum and Home in Kearney, MO, the movie, "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Bob Ford" is as about as accurate a movie portraying Jesse James as possible and depicting the events leading up to the assassination. Also, Jesse James in buried in Mount Olive Cemetery in Kearney, MO. Bob Ford is buried in Richmond, MO. Cole Younger is buried in Lee's Summit, MO. Frank James is buried not too far from Jesse but forget where. Jesse James home where he was shot is up in St Joseph, MO, and you can see parts of his original coffin inside the museum and other artifacts.
I've seen the interview where Clint Eastwood talks about Josie Wales I believe it's in the special features of the DVD he never said he rented the movie he said he saw the movie again he owns copies of his movies what do you think Clint Eastwood doesn't own his own movies? This is an AI channel and like AI it's all hyped and they get things wrong all the time
My favorite John Wayne movie was the Shootist. Not sure of any historical accuracy but I really enjoyed it. Wayne’s movies were notorious like many of the older westerns for out of time props such as 1892 Winchesters in the 1880s, buscadero holsters in the 1870s , P08 Luger pistols in the 1890s etc. but many of these were merely because that’s what the prop companies had available. Many of the modern westerns are pretty authentic in clothing accessories and weapons at least.
The Shootist was poorly adapted from a book. If they had stuck to the book, you would not like John Bernard Books, Or Guilium. They were very nasty people.
It falls into the category of Neo-Western. Like Hell or High Water, Sicario, Rebel Ridge, The Book of Eli, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada & Logan... -to name a few. Same basic constructs of a classical western, but without specific location or time setting constraints.
The Revenant was too far afield from the real story of Hugh Glass. Anyone who has read the true story of his life is probably disappointed in the movie version. In this case as in many others of the Old West, the truth is stranger (and more entertaining) than Hollywood fiction.
The “true story” of Hugh Glass in and of itself is held amongst historians to be mostly fiction especially the more “entertaining” parts. Most of his story which originally was passed through word of mouth is thought to be heavily embellished, and none of it was ever verified by Glass himself. The first ever written account was published in a literary fiction journal 2 years after the Ashley Expedition.
2010 version was obviously better. Better acting, cinematography, directing, hell the costumes were better. Just a great movie. Don't deny reality just to be loyal to ol John Wayne. Tell me me, in what way was the old version better? Leave the nostalgia behind.
I had to mention Cold Mountain an epic filming of the book of the same title by Charles Frazier. Arguably, Director Anthony Minghella's best movie. The Civil War drama (western) was highly praised but does not seem to be mentioned much a good 20 years after its release. Rene Zellweger was unrecognizable in it. Her best performance?
@@null6634 This is not an argument. You noticed I did point out "Civil War drama" in my comment. You may agree the great movie Glory is a Civil "War" drama with no "western" themes. Cold Mountain without being just a war movie involves families struggling to keep the "farm alive" which is one of a handful of "western themes", in general. There are also land barons in Cold Mountain (military or not) which is also a western theme. Sure, N Carolina is the South, but, the west of 1865 was not as far west (so to speak) as it is today. Kansas and Missouri were considered west not midwest. All that said, the fact Cold Mountain takes place in Smokey Mountain (thinking landscapes, mountains and old west themes) region near Tennessee border may be the reason Cold Mountain did not make this western adaptation list. Yes geographically speaking N Carolina is literally not the west. But does that mean Cold Mountain is not a western in spirit (theme)? But, like some country music offers the Country-Western distinction, or Texas-Country moniker, Cold Mountain deserves a storyline-theme distinction ... besides being simply pigeon-holed a Civil War drama. It does seem to be a book turned movie Western and Civil War drama; a representation of a land (in the Western World) wild and corrupt in search of a civilized existence.
I love the Coen Brothers. And the movie isn't bad by any measure. But it certainly doesn't blow the original "True Grit" out of the water. Both are excellent movies in their own right.
It's so true Casey Affleck is only in the movies cuz he got his foot in the door from his brother I don't even understand how this guy gets into movies he sucks he is just terrible on the screen. Good call
The Coen's was much closer to the book, a better screen play and did a much better job of showing what life was like in that time period. Plus the acting was better in the remake.
@martyyoung3611 Damn, you're right and I knew that, just didn't spot my cock-up before posting. Call me a putz and thanks for the correction. A great book and terrific adaptation.
Never understood why The Searchers is so highly regarded. As I get older I don't like "John Wayne" movies as much. The original True Grit was good, though. Duke does not act like, well .. the Duke in True Grit. But, John Ford's best western (I think of the Hotels every time I say "best western" 🙃😉) is My Darling Clementine. My Darling Clementine appears to be criticized too much because the history is a bit altered with the gungfight at OK Corral historically inaccurate ... despite Ford TALKING to Wyatt Earp before making the movie. Strange. But the cinematography is iconic helping to shape the legend of a period in time. The film is a lesson in not only how to make a western but how to watch one. Interesting comments about The Coward Robert Ford. I have not seen all of it. Most underrated western in my mind: A small but exciting and detailed western called Barbarosa. Directed by Australian Fred Schepisi (A Cry in the Dark; Roxanne) Barbarosa (1982) stars Willie Nelson (about as good as I've seen him, acting) and Gary Busey as the innocent, on the run farm boy who befriends the outlaw(?) legend. Both are up to their necks in feuding families of their making. Acting legend Gilbert Roland appears as a Mexican patriarch in the middle of one of the feuds.
I love The Searchers, but you're right....John Wayne and Ford westerns really do suffer from golden Age Hollywoodisms and don't "hold up" with the unneeded comic relief and corny endings. Like the addition of the Goofy Mose Rocking chair character played Hank Worden, who was a beloved character at the time, but to me is as ridiculous as Step N' Fechit was in movies of the same period (unneeded and out of place comic relief) . And also the overly sappy Hollywood ending, which is why up until the late 60s and 70s the saying the "Book is always better than the movie" really held true.
@@androlibre9661 True -- sappy Hollywood ending -- points, indeed. This being a book adaptations topic, Thomas Berger(?) wrote the book, for the should be more well known(?), "Revisionist" western Little Big Man, that mixes humor with some stunning doses of savage violence. Just thought the Dustin Hoffman, Arthur Penn directed (some think a gem) film worth ANOTHER reminder/mention. It really does seem like it is not/seen talked about enough as a great western.
This is a great list and thank you for the video. The 1st 5 are awesome, Shane and Outlaw Josey Wales are classics that stand the test of time. The 2nd True Grit made me realize that John Wayne deserved the Oscar for his True Grit because he carried that movie. The 2nd had a lot better supporting cast, with a couple of exceptions. (Dennis Hopper & Robert Duvall) I loved Open Range, excpt for the ending. Westerns end with the hero kissing the girl or riding off in the sunset, Cosner tried to do both, which hurt the movie. No Country for Old Men was a waste, the only thing it had going for it was the cat & mouse between the 2 main characters and then we didn't get to see the final showdown and the movie hints the Mexican Mafia killed the one guy. The whole "can't stop the tide" emotional melodrama is lost on my older generation. The Jesse James movie looked boring to me, so I never saw it and I was severely disappointed in The Revenant. Tom Hardy was the best actor in the movie but you couldn't understand half of what he said.
I take issue with only two of the movies mentioned. No country for old men wasnt a western and the Brad Pitt Jesse James movie was underated because it deserves to be.
All but one of the Films are great as said in the video: The Assassination of Jesse James. It's just a really bad movie. I also watched it twice. It has great acting and music, but the pacing is terrible and the depiction of events is just boring. Leaving the glorification of James and the villification of Ford aside (that was to be expected given the title), all the good ingrediants were made into an uninteresting and daunting movie. What a waste.
Some of these are amongst my favourite movies of any genre, The Outlaw Josie Wales Free Range The Searchers Not seen Shane or Appaloosa Didn't think much of little big man I think the remake of True Grit was ok, but over rated, but I think much of the Keon Brothers work is over rated, the original is ok, but its a very different movie to the remake. No country for Old Men is good. Can't believe the Unforgiven is not on the list. If I had to pick one to watch again now, it would be Free Range. Perfect Western, and I love Duvall. both versions of 4:10 from Yuma are good too, also not on the list. I wouldn't call the Revenant a "Western", its more of a frontiersman survival story, and Tom whatshisname just mumbled his way through it like most of his roles.
The remake of True Grit was much like every movie remake - OK………….. unless you had already seen the original. Its only improvement was to replace Glen Campbell with someone who could act with more skill than a small town kid in a high school play. Campbell was a very good singer and guitarist. But, the talented man was in way over his head. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying
You pick 3good movies, the searchers and the outlaws Josie Wales and Shane 2010 true grit was garbage. The first one was better with John Wayne in it. The others are garbage.

It won an academy award but it's probably one of the worst movies in the last century.
Jeremiah Johnson is another great movie 🍿
One of the best
Just saw it on tv the morning I saw this comment, coincidentally enough. Jeremiah is almost a perfect movie ... except for mountain man Will Geer laughing and leading the runaway "Grizz" straight into his own cabin to show the "Skinner" what ...? how impractical it is to destroy your very own cabin for comic, head scratching, camera shaking (you know cause the bear is knocking around inside where, apparently, Jeremiah is "skinning" the grizzly. yep that is the bear meat cooking on a stick over a fire! In the very next scene!) Ha Ha!? For a movie that is SO realistic that scene is ridiculous.
Was it a Book Though?
@ it’s credited to two different books Crow killer and mountain man.
Much, much better than the Revenant.
1999s Ride WIth the Devil should be on this list. As far as book adaption go its one of the BEST. Criminally underrated movie
Ang Lee directed. I remember seeing Ride With the Devil. BUT nobody talks about it. The long haired bad guy was chilling (see I forget the actor's name ... but only saw him in a couple things I also can't recall).

You have to imagine that he reloaded his weapon. They just didn't show it. You can't be too literal.
BINGO
Do they also expect us to believe that Charlie and Boss ate two or three meals a day, but never pooped? They were never shown doing it.

Robert Mitchums " The Wonderful Country" stays with the book.
