Although I have liked at least one movie in every genre we have watched this year I would have to say that my favorite is the Western. Before taking this class I had never seen a western and had a very negative opinion about them. I thouhgt that it was kind of a washed up genre that could never really be entertaining to me, but after watching My Darling Clementine and especially after watching Once Upon a Time in the West my opinon of the western totally reversed. Once Upon a Time in the West has been my favorite movie we have watched all year. I really liked how it combined sick gun slinging action with sweet characters. I have even rented two westerns outside of class since watching these movies in class.

I like the sick gun slinging action too. Except I would disagree about Once Upon A Time In The West being the best movie of the year, I would say Groundhog Day. But, I still agree that the western was the best genre.
Cj I definetly agree! Can't always judge a book by it's cover. I was like,"Hey, nice little genre". Westerns are really underestimated.
Cj, I totally diagree with you. I hated westerns and they are really boring. Your examples are weak and you did a bad review....
ps, I hate you
I agree with you. because I never watched a Western movie either, and I thought that it would be boring. but I would agree that it was the best genre.
CJ i am in the same boat you are in!!!! I also had a pesamistic attitude toward the western genre as a whole. However after watching these movies my opinion flipped and i actually enjoy watching movies of western genre descent.
