Death Hunt was set in 1931, and is a true story. The character Albert Johnson is made up however, as his true identity was never known. The character played by Lee Marvin, Sgt. Millen, was actually one of the first men Johnson killed.

McCabe and Mrs. Miller is a good one. This was directed by Robert Altman in a style similar to MASH. It's an unusual story with an unconventional shootout at the end.
Comic western.

Folks start talking about "Death Hunt", a movie I really liked, so I looked it up on E-Bay, got a DVD coming, 6 bucks to my door.
Not one mention of "The Wild Bunch" or "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid".
I just watched Shoot Out starring Gregory Peck. Good guy is a bad guy but ends up a really good guy, white hat and all.
My Name is Nobody (1973 Segio Leone) with Henry Fonda and Terrance Hill - the ultimate spagetti western

Just watched The shootist on YouTube. Excellent. I have seen a lot of clint Eastwood westerns but not this one with the duke.

Do you enjoy reading? Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series is worth a look.
Just started watching Open Range, it on youtube in full currently:

Another vote for "Little Big Man."
Agree wholeheartedly, and another flick I would recommend is All the Pretty Horses, with Matt Damon and Penelope Cruz. Directed by Billy Bob Thornton. Do yourself a favor and forget your own and the principal actors (and directors) politics for the time it takes to watch it. Cuz, it doesn't matter in this rare case, IMHO.
Written by Cormac McCarthy, this and the other two books in the Border Trilogy are just exactly right to my way of thinking. Who ever taught or coached Matt Damon on his cowboyology and mannupedness deserves a daggum Oscar or a case of Wild Turkey, mo betta.
