Great Westerns are good and all, with the best of the West delivering spectacle, excitement, emotion, and visual splendor like no other genre out there. When looking at both older movies and more recent releases, the genre is no stranger to excellence, but just because some shine doesn’t mean that all are great. Just as is the case for any type of movie, some Westerns are honestly quite bad.
Love Me Tender is best known for being the first of numerous movies Presley starred in, and, of course, for the fact that it had a genuinely good theme song, which was released before the movie. It’s otherwise pretty hammy and melodramatic stuff, all a bit overdone and silly, but in an old-fashioned way that makes it enough of an oddity to offer some entertainment value.
It’s so barebones in terms of the story it tells and the places it goes, with one of its saving graces being the fact that it’s only 73 minutes in length . Ambush at Cimarron Pass isn’t viewed favorably by Clint Eastwood either, to say the least, who went so far as to call it the worst film ever made… that could be a stretch, but such vitriol does make it sound enticing, especially for fans of the actor who might get curious about just how bad it can get.
6 'Sukiyaki Western Django' Director: Takashi Miike Sukiyaki Western Django really should be so much better than it is, given it was directed by the usually interesting Takashi Miike, has a great title, and a relatively interesting premise/concept. Sukiyaki is a Japanese dish, so the title promises a movie that will put the same kind of anarchic/subversive spin on the Western genre as the similarly-named Italian spaghetti Westerns do… only it really doesn’t.
The Beast of Hollow Mountain sees a cowboy not fighting aliens, but instead going up against a somehow still alive Tyrannosaurus rex that’s consuming all his cattle. A movie with a premise that boils down to “a T. rex causes havoc in the desert” isn’t going to be for everyone, but there are certain viewers who’ll likely jump at the opportunity to see that play out within a B-movie. For anyone after that exact thing, for whatever reason, The Beast of Hollow Mountain is the film for you.
