    Open Range gets my vote for a recent western. The way folks missed an awful lot (even at pretty short ranges) and Kevin Costner having to stop and load on a regular basis, along with touches like the rough accommodations under a tarp for a rain storm just being taken for granted helped make Open Range an especially well done movie.

    Unforgiven was also pretty darn good, never was sure if he was a pretty good guy that got very mean when drinking, or a pretty bad guy that tried really hard to live up to his wife's better expectations.
    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.

    Takes most of a weekend, but "Centennial" is pretty good. Don't think you'll find it on cable, satellite or youtube, but it is available on DVD.

    The first western movie to bear the title "the Unforgiven" (1960) is a true epic with elements of greek tragedy, Shakespeare couldn't have done better.
    Burt Lancaster, Audrey Hepburn, Audey Murphy, even the guy who played Dr No. All star cast of great actors.

    The book it's based on is written by Alan Lemay, same author as The Searchers, and it's every bit as good, maybe better. The movie absolutely sucked by comparison, even a cast like Burt Lancaster, Audrey Hepburn, Audey Murphy and Lillian Gish with a director like John Ford couldn't save it.

    Glad Seraphim Falls made the list, good movie and real different and not widely known it seems.

    Another good one I haven't seen mentioned is The Oxbow Incident.

    If you liked Open Range you'll like Broken Trail. Robert Duvall pretty hard to beat. Lonesome Dove, of course but there are other movies in that series. All are actually quite good IMHO.

    What? And no one even mentioned the greatest western in history, Once Upon a Time in the West? Sacrilege!

    Here's a hint. Just order the Encore Western channel and you'll get your fill of western programming with films already mentioned here like The Shootist, Silverado, Red River, Quigley Down Under, et al. My wife and I have a ritual where we always watch even for a few minutes just after climbing into bed. She won't take no for an answer on this one either. As soon as we get upstairs, she points at the TV and says "John Wayne!" thus giving me the my marching orders until she drifts off to sleep.

    Well, another not mentioned was Bandolero! with Dean and Jimmy Stewart.

    Open Range has the best shootout ever filmed, and overall is a
    really great western.
    If it was easy, anybody could do it.

    I've got to throw in Cheyenne Social Club.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
