Scoot McNairy recommended The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) in Movies (curated)

"I grew up watching western films, and for someone to slow down the pacing to a sort of a western drama — I just thought was so incredibly well done. The acting in it was absolutely phenomenal. The cinematography of it was beautiful. The tone, the production — just everything about it. Go down the list of everything about all the departments of a film and I feel like everybody nailed it on that one — just knocked it out of the park. It’s just such a beautiful piece of film to watch. Sometimes I like to just play it in the background with the volume off — just to be looking at the imagery of it. Oh, man. Watch it with the lights off. It’s awesome."

Outstanding western starring and directed by Clint Eastwood. The American civil war transforms ordinary farmer Josey Wales into a ruthless, deadly gunfighter - but when his side is defeated, is there any chance he can leave violence behind and find a new life?

Made just as the western was going out of fashion as a genre, there's a strikingly elegiac quality to this film - it includes all the requisite action and violence, but also considers wider issues about what it means for people to try and live together. Brings real heart and soul to the slightly cartoony character Eastwood played for Sergio Leone. In some ways this is a very serious film, but it also works superbly as a piece of entertainment.

Leone's direction makes a 3 hour movie leaving you wanting more (5 more)

Genre-defining

A writing masterpiece with one of the greatest endings you will ever see

That haunting, dramatic soundtrack

Clint (Blondie), Van Cleef (Angel Eyes) and Wallach (Tuco) put in stunning performances

Dramatic, brutal, and riveting.

The greatest western of all time, with or without spaghetti!
