    Tough, tough, tough. Clint Eastwood's, Once Upon a time in the West, The Searchers, etc.

    But, I'd have to go with:

    The Wild Bunch

    1. Blazing Saddles - shame on you guys for forgetting this one. ;)
    2. The Magnificent Seven - A once-in-a-lifetime cast. And the best quote in Western history "If God didn't want them sheared, he would not have made them sheep."
    3. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly - Gritty. Fun. Epic.
    4. Once Upon a Time in the West - Love that harmonica.
    5. Tombstone - Just a fun re-telling of a classic "true" event.
    6. Unforgiven - the emotional weight of a gunfighter laid bare. Classic.
    7. For a Few Dollars More - better than the sequel
    8. The Wild Bunch - No one used slow-mo like Peckinpah
    9. A Fistful of Dollars - still pretty good
    10. Dances With Wolves - the Western experience told from the Native American perspective.

    Looking at that list, one cannot help but notice that Clint OWNS the Western genre.

    Bandidas, starring penelope cruz and salma hayek. It's so cheesy that it's a fun movie. I really didn't get into the western genre. back to the future 3, does that count?

    El Diablo?!?!
    You shot that man in the back!
    His back was to me.

    but, I guess Unforgiven gets my vote.

    If you have never seen Dustin Hoffman's Little Big Man I highly suggest you rent it. #1 it is an epic in that if follows one man's whole life in the West (always a positive in literature for me), and #2 it's sort of subversive in that it turns the myths of the old West inside out.

    Unforgiven is just a magnificent movie in every way. Epic.

    Rooster Cogburn.

    Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

    Tombstone.

    Soooo many Westerns out there.. this could easily be a Top 500 List, seems like Ford and his peers were out there churning out one a week in the good old days.. and shooting in Italy, with Italian extras playing the Mexicans and the Indians.. LOL Nobody thought anything of it back then, but they look kind of silly now.

    Too tough to call one single movie, and I agree with most already posted, but here are a few more:

    Silverado
    Outlaw Josey Wales
    Stagecoach
    Rio Bravo
    A Man Called Horse
    Jeremiah Johnson
    Burch Cassidy & Sundance Kid

    All of you are idiots.

    The correct answer is Rustler's Rhapsody.

    Actually, wasn't the Magnificent Seven a remake of Kurosawa's Seven Samurai?

    Making The Magnificent Seven a Japanese movie, set as a Western..?

    ;)

    A great score also applies to a great westerns.. Anything that Ennio Morricone has composed all been masterpieces in my opinion..

    Tough to choose...loved Unforgiven, Good Bad & Ugly, Outlaw Josie Wales...even Jeremiah Johnson, if you consider it a "western"
