Back To The Future 3 is a top 5 Western all time

r/

I believe it’s up there with Tombstone, Unforgiven, all the Dollars Triliogy, and every other great Western. Mad Dog Tannen is a legitimate psycho as much as the other legendary bad guys

    It’s a pretty good movie, which deserves more credit, but let’s not go overboard here.

    Look, it’s a great movie and I’ll watch it any time I accidentally come across it on TV (yes, I’m old), but it’s not even in the top 5 Westerns.

    Downvoting because I agree. But honestly I’m not sure if I’ve seen more than 10 western movies in my life.

    Nonsense! In addition to the ones you mentioned that are, yes, much better there’s Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Django Unchained, Blazing Saddles, City Slickers, Once Upon a Time in the West, Magnificent Seven, Hateful Eight, True Grit, Wild Bunch…

    I think it can be in YOUR top 5 Western movies. Not sure if it is objectively a top 5 Western movie by any stretch…which makes your opinion unpopular…so…good post?

    Walking around like that you’re liable to get shot. Or hanged. What idiot dressed you in that outfit? You did.

    Who would have thought the worst back to the future movie is up there with the good, the bad, and the ugly. Learn something new everyday I guess.

    Have you seen the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly? It’s one of the best movies I’ve ever seen, much less Western.

    The Searchers, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, High Noon, Tombstone, and…Back to the Future III?

    u/Educational_Tell2228, you look like somebody just walked over your grave.

    I’m not much into Westerns. I love Back to the Future 3. It is the best western ever made. Like the hotel. I also really like Blood Meridian and am halfway through it.

    When I was younger it was my least favorite of the 3 by far but over time it grew on me big time

    Haha that’s funny. I like it.

    I remember being in third grade and my mom dropping me off for my first date ever. At the AMC South Miami for that movie.

    Oh PUH-LEEZE🙄
    BttFIII is a great movie, but it’s NOT a top 5 Western…and the OP knows it.
    They’re just saying it to get people to react.

    Great one, this one had me think about it for a minute. I never thought of Back to the Future 3 as a western and more of a sci fi but really what makes it so great is that it’s both and for that its a damn good western. It wasn’t until firefly that I remember seeing it again.

    All this proves is that you havent seen enough westerns

  28. strolpol Avatar

    It’s a great movie but it’s really not a western in any sense but as a visual parody. None of the usual themes or tropes are present beyond those specifically referencing the genre like the whole thing with the stove body armor

    Oh man. You can say that after you’ve seen

    • The Searchers
    • Red River
    • High Noon
    • Dances With Wolves
    • The Man Who Shot Libery Valance

    And if you still the feel same, upvote from me. But you need to see those first.
