How the west was won.
The Wild Bunch
1+ everything cited above, and I watch the Western Channel on Directv everyday. I record Gunsmoke and Bat Masterson for later viewing.
Conagher
Quigley Down Under
+1 for The Cowboys and The Shootist
It ain't rocket science, it's boolit science.
Unforgiven. Clint was never better!
Little Bill Daggett: Well, sir, you are a cowardly son of a bitch! You just shot an unarmed man!
Will Munny: Well, he should have armed himself if he's going to decorate his saloon with my friend.
Cap'n Morgan
Big Jake is one of my favorites, all those listed above are good as well, "He should have armed himself if he was going to decorate his Saloon with my friend" Unforgiven is a great film. It isn't an easy thing to kill a man.
The big Country.
Outlaw Josey Wales is my all time favorite. Recently watched the Quick and the Dead (Sam Elliot) and that was pretty good.
All of the ones mentioned are good by me. If you want a comedy Paint Your Wagon. Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin in a musical western. Have to see that at least once. Or Support Your Local Gunfighter with James Garner or Local Sherriff both while not "great" westerns were funny.
Scrap.... because all the really pithy and emphatic four letter words were taken and we had to describe this source of casting material somehow so we added an "S" to what non casters and wives call what we collect.
Kind of hard to claim to love America while one is hating half the Americans that disagree with you. One nation indivisible requires work.

Crossfire Trail and Open Range are two of my favorite more recently made westerns. Good story lines and great gunfights at the end!
Nevada Smith. Then you can see Brian Keith sitting under a canopy in the desert reloading ammo with a tong tool!
true grit with john wayne
Get on utube and check out When the West was Fun. It has great clips of the old cowboy shows from the 50s and 60s. Under no circumstances watch Lust in the Dust while eating. It is one of the sickest funniest westerns made, not classy like Blazing Saddles.
The rules of the range are simple at best, Should you venture in that habitat, Don't cuss a man's dog, be good to the cook, And don't mess with a cowboy's hat. ~ Baxter Black
Just watched "Last Stand at Saber River". For the 3rd time. Watched carefully for the typical firearm period mistakes.
still can't spot any. Anyone else have any luck?
I still hate the way those scabbard-ed rifles slap the horses flanks when loping. I can't believe that was necessary.
Pepe Ray
The way is ONLY through HIM.
FYI, there's 2 versions of Monty Walsh? Both excellent.

All Great westerns, and I also suggest High Noon starring Gary Cooper.
Brokeback Mountain
"Red River" 1948 John Wayne and Joanne Dru
"She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" 1949 John Wayne and Joanne Dru
"The Quick and the Dead" 1987, with Sam Elliot and Kate Capshaw
Just about any western with John Wayne, Ben Johnson, Sam Elliot or Tom Selleck
In "The Shadow Riders" you get Sam Elliot, Tom Selleck, Ben Johnson and Katherine Ross (Sam Elliot's real life wife).

Probably too late now as old as Seleck is getting, but with a bit of creative writing they might even be able to use that to an advantage. Not going to happen however so I suppose there's no point of even talking about it.
