Viggo Mortensen’s Closet Picks

The award-winning actor and director goes deep on his favorite westerns, highlighting Gregory Peck’s psychological performance in THE GUNFIGHTER and Barbara Stanwyck’s fierceness in THE FURIES, Leonard Cohen’s music in MCCABE & MRS. MILLER, and Budd Boetticher’s lean, mean Ranown films.

i’m holding off on buying the new Criterion box set of the Ranown westerns until i finish my senior thesis, as a little reward for myself, but i’m concerned my willpower will break and I’ll just buy it at the next flash sale

I shot this on my #Nikon #D800 with a 24-70mm F2.8 lens in the #AlabamaHills are a "range of hills" and #rockformations near the eastern slope of the #SierraNevada Mountains in the #OwensValley, west of #LonePine in Inyo County, #California. Though geographically considered a range of hills, geologically they are a part of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The Alabama Hills are a popular #filming location for television and #movieproductions, especially #Westerns set in an archetypical "rugged" environment. Since the early 1920s, 150 #movies and about a dozen television shows have been filmed here, including Tom Mix films, Hop-along #Cassidy films, The Gene Autry Show, and The #LoneRanger. Classics such as Gunga Din, Springfield Rifle, The Violent Men (1955 film), Bad Day at Black Rock (1955), the Budd Boetticher/Randolph Scott "Ranown" westerns, part of How the West Was Won, and Joe Kidd. In the late 1940s and early 50s the area was also a popular location for the films of #B-western actor Tim Holt. The climactic showdown scene in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly was also filmed in The Alabama Hills. Several long-running TV 'westerns' were also filmed in the Alabama Hills, including #Bonanza, #Gunsmoke, The #Virginian, and Cimarron Strip ©Paul Todd/OUTSIDEIMAGES.COM OUTSIDE IMAGES PHOTO AGENCY (at Alabama Hills, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsdggmqBV7M/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qxf87lse0yle

ELMORE LEONARD. "The Tall T" (1957). Original one sheet poster for the second of Budd Boetticher's seven key Westerns in Ranown cycle, all starring Randolph Scott. "The Tall T" is based on a story by Elmore Leonard and the first of five films released through Columbia Pictures. The Leonard story was first published in "Argosy" magazine in 1955, then published as a paperback original in 1957 by Avon as a "tie-in" to the film.

Top 5 noir movies? Top 5 westerns?

Already got asked about noir movies here! As for westerns, it was very difficult for me to narrow it down to a top 5 so I'm also gonna link a longer list of my favourites here.

But anyway. Top 5.

In this world, there are two kinds of people, my friend: those who's favourite western is The Good the Bad and the Ugly, and those who haven't seen it yet. Greatest score ever written, masterful use of long shots and close ups, Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef at their very coolest, all in gorgeous widescreen... One of my top five movies, period.

No Name on the Bullet. As I mentioned in the noir ask, I 🧡 movies that are cheap and pulpy and kind of bad lol. Jokes aside though this one's got a very tight script with a lot to say on mob mentality/paranoia and individual corruption, a building tension that grabs you by throat and squeezes, all carried along by Audie Murphy and his cold cold eyes... There's something very special about a well-made b-movie I must say.

Winchester '73. Ranown cycle this, Wayne-Ford movies that, well if you ask me the Mann-Stewart movies are the best western actor/director collabs out there, and this one's the finest among them. Okay actually The Naked Spur is the better film, but this one's got my guy Dan Duryea in his absolute best role, so you know I'll take it over the others any day of the week.

Blazing Saddles. I do love a good parody, and Mel Brooks is the undisputed king thereof. This one's laugh out loud funny, the type of movie that has me going "oh man that's my favourite bit" every three seconds. Except the bean scene, that one's a dud, but the mere presence of Madeline Kahn makes up for it ten times over.

Longtime followers will know of my inexplicable soft spot for godawful singing cowboy movies + my other inexplicable soft spot for godawful mountie movies, so naturally I've got a soft spot the size of Saskatchewan for the Renfrew of the Royal Mounted serial. Like idk what to tell you, they're mounted men....... though odds may be one to ten....... they'll follow the trail........ they never will fail to capture......... dangerous foes, for everyone knows they say........ they'll get their man, despite any plan you'll have to pay......... Yes I know the theme song by heart don't judge me.

Ask me my top 5/top 10 anything!

Ride Lonesome  1959  Budd Boetticher  Cinematography by Charles Lawton, Jr.

[royalbks]

BUDD BOETTICHER. "Decision at Sundown" (1957). Original US one sheet poster for the third of Budd Boetticher's seven legendary Westerns, the "Ranown" cycle, with Randolph Scott, one of five released through Columbia. Boetticher's approach to storytelling was traditional in the sense that it involved traditional Western characters, but revisionist in that his protagonist invariably worked alone, and sought his own brand of morality rather than one established by tradition, government, and family. Apart from ardent fans of Westerns, the films went unrecognized by most until Martin Scorsese made a case for them in his 1995 BFI documentary, "A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies."
