Stagecoach, the original from 1939 was great. So was Liberty Valance. My personal choice was High Noon. This is an endless list with a lot of good choices.

The Great Silence.

Went with The Good, The Bad & The Ugly.

True Grit (John Wayne version) should be on this list.

IMO True Grit isn't even top 5 Duke movies.

I'm surprised no love for My Darling Clementine, Fonda as always is amazing and Walter Brennan is great.

Obvious answer is Silverado.

Scott Glen, Kevin Costner, Danny Glover, Brian Dennehey, Kevin Cline, Jeff Goldbloom, Rosanna Arquette

Kasadan directed a classic.

As a dark horse I will submit Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. Sam Peckinpah directed and it had Kris Kristofferson and James Coburn in lead roles. Bob Dylan acted in it as well and his version of Knocking on Heavens door drove the soundtrack. You know how it ends but a great flick.

I've seen all of those Westerns and none of them quite stick with me like Unforgiven... To me, if there is such a thing as a "perfect" movie, it certainly has to qualify as one of them...

Went with Unforgiven as far as a “modern western” but The Searchers is hard to top, in my opinion, in it’s time period. Lonesome Dove is my favorite mini series.

Will Penny.

Another Vote for Lonesome Dove at the top of any western list.

Lonesome Dove is a miniseries though. It's great (unless you hate snakes) but it's hard to compare it to a 2 hour movie.

Just watched Lonesome Dove again. If you don’t think it is the greatest Western of all time then I will fight you

But......the poll is for best western movie....whereas Lonesome Dove is a mini-series, not a movie.

Apples and rutabagas.

However....
Lonesome Dove is probably the best mini-series (any genre), although I would guess that many folks would put it as #2 behind Band of Brothers.

BoB is the greatest movie/show/miniseries/play/D&D session/whatever ever.

The correct answer is Tombstone.
