    The Wild Bunch
    Tombstone
    Unforgiven
    No Country For Old Men
    The Searchers
    Silverado
    Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
    Pale Rider
    Django Unchained
    Outlaw Josey Wales

    and True Grit, pick which one. I could list 20 more, what did I forget? What do yall like?

    LOL. In all seriousness I thought 3:10 to Yuma was pretty good. I haven’t seen the 1957 version so no comment on that. True Grit was great. As much as I like John Wayne the Jeff Bridges version was well done.

    I also like El Dorado but idk that it deserves to be on the list.

    Tough one.

    The two that jump to mind are Tombstone and No Country. Kurt Russel should have gotten an Academy Award for Tombstone.

    The Sergio Leone Westerns are some of the films that ushered in modern filmmaking IMO, and are sublime in their own way. For some reason they were always on very late at night when I was a kid and up sick.

    Not a big fan of early 1960s and earlier ‘stand around and talk for 20 minutes’ movies so older westerns don’t appeal to me.

    I know it's not exactly an American thing to say, but I've never cared for John Wayne or most of the old school westerns.

    But as for my favorites, I will echo Tombstone (probably my favorite). Followed closely behind that is the True Grit remake, Unforgiven, No Country and Django Unchained. I know a picture and Cowboys and Aliens was posted in jest above, but that movie is actually not bad. I feel like John Favreau took something that should have been beyond ridiculous and made pretty entertaining. Plus Olivia Wilde.

    The Leone movies are among my favorites of all time. Also love The Outlaw Josey Wales.

    Eastwood is my favorite actor, no question.

    No love for The Magnificent Seven?
    The theme alone makes it one of the best.

    The Man who shot Liberty Valance- Great cast. Lee Marvin was awesome in this.

    Once upon a time in the West- Great cast. Henry Fonda, of all people, was pure evil in this movie.

    Tombstone. Val Kilmer's Doc Holliday is my favorite movie character of all-time.
