      I love Longriders with the Quaids, the Carradines, and..someone else. Very raw = very entertaining.

        LONG RIDERS ain't offbeat. Mebbe the best take of the Jesse James legend, though.
        Another offbeat Western not really liked is BILLY TWO HATS.

          it's fairly mainstream, the long riders, but it's offbeat as it seems like a bunch of progressive hippies who went back in time to be cowboys.

            How about another pair of Nicholson westerns: The Shooting and Ride in the Whirlwind? The Shooting, especially, is very off-beat.

              Another pair of Brando westerns worth checking out are "One Eyed Jacks" and "The Appaloosa", both under-rated at the times of their releases.

                recently saw "The Appaloosa". slow-moving for the most part, but very enjoyable. definitely under the radar and definitely worth checking out

                    slow moving? says you. it's a perfect film. marlon brando is mesmerizing in this film.

                      there you go. i just watched the appallosa and i was blown away by marlon brando. every single thing he does is perfect and in character in this film. he gets every single body movement, facial expression, way of talking, voice emotion, voice inflection perfect. i've never watched or seen anything like it in acting and i've been watching movies my whole life for over 30 years and 2000 movies.
                      its like he's possessed in this film. i couldn't take my eyes off him for one second. he inhabits his character. also, he never overacts, it's the most subtle acting. he's completely convincing, he is the character.

                        El Topo! I'm not sure if you'd call that a true western, but it does have a western-type theme. Vaquero-type Mexicans riding horses with six-shooters killin' people.

                          Bad Company (1972)
                          Dirty Little Billy (1972)

                          • While I prefer PAT GARRETT & BILLY THE KID, this is still a hella interesting take on the legend of Billy the Kid.
                            The Culpepper Cattle Company (1972)
                            Doc (1971)
                          • Forget MY DARLING CLEMENTINE or TOMBSTONE, this is the best take on Doc Holliday I've ever seen.
                            All of these are odd, outstanding, and morally ambiguous revisionist westerns!

                            All of Clint's Dollars trilogy were hated by critics on initial release.

                            Great Northfield Minnesota Raid

                            Valley of Gwangi
                            Lonely Are the Brave
                            Dirty Dingus Magee
                            Firecreek
                            The Wrath of God
                            Ravenous
                            Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean

                            Hawmps!

                                  i just watched this film a few days ago for the first time and i just watched the hunting party a few weeks ago for the first time. both are classic films. wtf? why did they get low rated?
                                  what? were they too gritty for the pansy assed critics?
