Week 1: Top 250 Highest Rated Westerns

Trying my first movie challenge this year, not sure if or how long it’ll last but I’ll certainly try my best to do this because one, it’s not all that intensive, and two, there’s no way I could ever stop loving this genre. The Tin Star is a fantastically written and shot western drama that focuses on Henry Fonda’s former-sheriff-turned-outlaw helping Anthony Perkins’ young and newly appointed sheriff learn the tools of the trade, and through those first 40-45 minutes that’s about all this was. With this second half, if you told me it threw you off or you didn’t like it I couldn’t blame you because it’s different to the first in so many ways, but for me I’m a big fan of where this story went, even if the conclusion didn’t blow my socks off. This watch also serves as my introduction to Anthony Mann, and if this considerably lesser known pick compared to a lot of his other westerns is any indicator of how I’ll fair with the rest of his work I’m very excited to see more this year. It’s hard not to start with the Elmer Bernstein score, every time I see this guy’s name in the credits I’m ready for something great and I’m starting to realize he’s becoming one of my favorite composers, from The Great Escape, to The Magnificent Seven, to The Age of Innocence, every time I’ve heard a score of his it’s been arguably THE highlight of the film and this is no different. Dudley Nichols, who wrote for legends like John Ford, Howard Hawks, and Fritz Lang, did some great work here, and even though it’s not nearly as acclaimed as his only other script I’ve heard which is Stagecoach by Ford I definitely prefer this one to that. I loved how deep it dove into the morality of killing and what it took to be a law officer back then, it also had some decently progressive lines on indigenous americans which definitely threw me off for a 50’s american-made western but I’m certainly not complaining, I never had Nichols on my radar much as a writer but after this I definitely will. What holds this back from getting higher to me is the fact that not that much really happened in this story, the buildup of the standoff between Owens and Bogardus was a little unwarranted for the abrupt and slightly anticlimactic outcome, I also had some problems with the portrayal of the “villains”. Maybe it’s because of my bias towards him or maybe he’s just that good but either way I wanted more explanation, I would’ve loved to see some motive and just a few more scenes could’ve accomplished that, and with this shorter runtime I think it would’ve been worth it. I’m really just nitpicking the story for my problems though, this is a serious technical feat with fantastic dialogue and great performances from Henry Fonda especially but Anthony Perkins, Betsy Palmer, Neville Brand, and Lee Van Cleef all added a lot to this too. There’s not much more I could ask for from those three aspects of a movie in this genre, a new favorite of mine as it enters my top 15 westerns at the time of this watch, I’m very excited to see what else this challenge introduces me to this year.

“As long as you’re wearing that badge you gotta walk up, tell him to throw ‘em up, and then watch which way his hands move. If they go up you’ve got yourself a prisoner. If they go down he’s dead, or you are.”

Really liked this one largely because of the relationship between Henry Fonda and Anthony Perkins characters. It's a simpler story but I really appreciate that.

Pretty atypical tone/pace for a Western but I dig it. Dad fell asleep. Everyone say goodnight Rick!
