Westerns Women Like!

Something for the cowgirls today. Westerns are generally the domain of the guys. That having been said, many women have made great contributions to the genre's development from the beginning. However as far as the audience is concerned, women are definitely in the minority. This channel has about a 90/10 ratio guys to gals. After scanning some chat sites and the internet in general. Here are a sample of some westerns that women seem to like. Let me know what you think in the comments.

Gotta say most gals I know are big fans of 'Tombstone', they all get a kick out of Val Kilmer's performance as 'Doc Holliday'. That being said, let the ladies decide.

Famous People, I really enjoyed watching this, so I hit the like button!

Cheers, appreciated, please subscribe for more!

I was really impressed by the way Hailee Steinfeld stepped in from nowhere and nearly stole the show. Not much to say about Tombstone because it's legendary.

Genuine female here. Not a single John Wayne western. And you could have fixed this by simply going to the original True Grit, which some of us like better. Women don’t like Butch Cassidy because of its unusual nature. It’s got two of the best looking men in pictures in it! Plus these are all relatively modern movies - no Stewart, Randolph, or Ladd. Or James Garner. You could have put either of the Support Your Local movies. Just not long enough I guess.

Female here. I actually don't like most of these movies. Excepting Tombstone of course. Some of my favorite Westerns are The Cowboys, both True Grits, Open Range, The Quick and the Dead with Sharon Stone and both Young Guns movies. Well done video, though, as always.

What do you think of 'The Shootist'? My mom was a Lauren Bacall fan and that was one of her favorite westerns.

[@QueenoftheBlackCoast]

I love that movie. It's so well done and acted. Lauren Bacall oozed class in every part she played

Skvělé.

Brilliant choices all, but the greatest Western chick flick is Robt Altman's "McCabe & Mrs Miller" --- (trust me, I say this on authority).

[@QueenoftheBlackCoast]

I have heard and seen YT videos by younger people who are getting into Westerns again because of Red Dead Redemption. There are quite a few Westerns coming up. Horizon with Kevin Costner. 2 based on Western novels, Empire of the Sun and The Thicket.

Prefer the original True Grit. I'm definitely an old school gal. John Wayne, Kirk Douglas Jimmy Stewart. Randolph Scott, Gary Cooper, etc. The modern westerns compare.

[@superfit60]

I agree the original is far superior...

Haven't seen the "new" one yet. The Steinfeld child is a tremendous actor. In the 1969 version of the scene ,when Kim Darby shot Jeff Corey, the impact knocked him off his feet.

Almost all the women I’ve met are college educated and subscribed to liberal politics. So I can’t speak for working-class white women. I can’t speak for black or brown women. I should also point out that I’m talking about women who I met prior to 1987. So we’re talking about baby boomers and GEN Xers. These women hated genre films. They thought they were predictable and stupid. After every westerns follows certain conventions so - they would point out - you know how the movies going to end. That was their viewpoint. They loved Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid because it was so unconventional. In other words, it broke the rules of the genre, and they loved that fact.

Which women? I know older women who enjoy Westerns. But I think the fandom for the Western is shrinking in the modern era -- as kids grow up inside, not outside, playing with video games instead of playing outside with friends as kids, the mythos of the Western is less appealing to both men and women today. Be interesting to see a breakdown of the ages of your subscribers -- I'd be willing to bet most are Baby Boomers, or at the most Generation X.

IDK.... recently I was in a movie store and had a conversation with a young fella, say early to mid 20s, that was looking to buy any western DVD or Blu Ray movie he could find. He said he was a huge western fan and also ask me for any recommendations I might have. This wasn't the first time I've observed young folks looking for westerns to buy. Personally, I think the western genre will always prevail and for many fans, it truly becomes more enduring over time. The recipe for any newly produced westerns, is talented actors and better cinematography, that also includes entertaining dialogue and not just blazing gun battles, although the more sometimes the merrier, in order to deliver a memorable western that people will be talking about decades from now.

@@TS-wh4ey Great movies are great despite their genre, agreed :) And there are always outliers in any survey of thought. I'd like to hope the genre will come back, but it's highly unlikely to return to the predominance it had in the 40s-60s....
