And for the Texicans in the crowd... "The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean", w/ Paul Newman, John Huston, Victoria Principal, Ned Beatty, and the usual cast of characters. One of the characters in it was "Snake River Rufus Krile"... but he wasn't there long.
Valdez Is Coming
The Culpepper Cattle Company
The Johnson County War
All these right here...not an exhaustive list but a good start.

A gun is a tool, Marian; no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that. - Shane

The Searchers is perhaps my favorite.Open Range as mentioned is a classic. I will mention The Gunfighter with Gregory Peck and Rio Bravo as it is worth the price of admission just to see Angie Dickinson.

"River of No Return" 1954 - Robert Mitchum and Marilyn Monroe - Norma Jeane was still only 28 years old and was lookin' swell. As I understand it, a portion of the movie was shot on the North Fork of the Flathead River, right in front of the property that my folks owned some 14 years or so after the movie was made.
waksupi mentioned "The Cheyenne Social Club". Just got that movie on DVD about 6 or 8 months ago. Have watched it several times, great cast.
One more I don't think has been mentioned... "Vera Cruz" Burt Lancaster and Gary Cooper.
For some laughs, "The Hallelujah Trail" 1965 - Burt Lancaster and Lee Remick.

Forgot to mention Fire Creek and The Oxbow Incident. I really liked both of those.
+1 for Valdez is Coming.
Good reloading scene in it.
Big Jake because it's set right at the end of the Cowboy era. Cars, semi auto's, scoped bolt guns......and the Duke.

Unforgiven ..Clint Eastwood..
I remember him saying he worked on this movie for a long time..He said is was like a little treasure he took out of a box every now and then.
There are no good guys in this movie,it is just all bad..

I also like The Missouri Breaks quite a bit It has Brando and Nickelson in opposing roles..
Tom Horn
I also very much love reading Zane Grey.. he was a very brilliant author..
"The Needle Gun" , I am not sure where he came up with that ,but it sure fit the bill.
Had to read through five pages to make sure it hadn't been mentioned, and here it is.
Anyone remember the Border Town show from the early 90s? I had good memories watching that, but can't recall if it was any good.
