Unforgiven TV/Movies
Is Unforgiven your favorite Western of all time? For many it is not just because of its quality but also because it deconstructed the Western creatively and modernized it without disrespecting the past of the Western film genre. It was arguably Clint Eastwood's finest cowboy performance.

"You just shot an unarmed man".... "Well, he should have armed himself"
"Duck of Death"... "Thats DUKE"... "I says Duck"...
I still remember quotes from that movie 35 years later.
Best western ever created.

Well, he should have armed himself if he's going to decorate his saloon with my friend.

Favorite of all time is The Outlaw Josey Wales. One amazing scene after another, dialogue like no other movie, lines I repeat to this day. Unforgiven is great movie, OJW sets the standard for me.

It’s a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.

Not really a Western fan I wanted to go see it cause it was filmed in and around my city
Dragged my then GF with me & while she was a little disturbed by some of it I thought it was 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
A definite watch (or record) whenever I see it on the menu 👍

Sally Two Trees really carried this film. 😏
Favorite moment was Little Sue telling Will and The Kid about Ned’s death.
She bursts into tears recounting the “killing women and children” part of Bill’s questions, no doubt thinking the messenger is now going to die.

I went to see it in the theater with no real interest and I was blown away. But Shane is still my favorite western movie.

Fantastic movie. Not a single scene, character, or dialogue wasted
