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.
Texas Across the River Joey Bishop , Dean Martin
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 this classic the other day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-KEnU9TBmQ

That look on your face, when you shift into 6th gear, but it's not there.
Do you enjoy reading? Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series is worth a look.

He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

Another vote for "Little Big Man."
Warning: I know Judo. If you force me to prove it I'll shoot you.
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.
