I gotta go with The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

 

[douggie]

For me, The Searchers is at the top. The Outlaw Josey Wales is a close second. But I have to go with the Duke for greatest Western.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

I went with Unforgiven.

But could easily have gone GBU or Searchers.

So hard to single out one only.

 

[outofyourmind]

Here's the Top 10 of All Time.
Don't try to deny it.

1) Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
2) Big Jake
3) Tombstone
4) Undefeated
5) Unforgiven
6) The Man who shot Liberty Valence
7) Support your Local Sheriff
8) True Grit
9) Young Guns
10) Sons of Katie Elder

I went with Unforgiven. I just watched it again the other day. There are a lot of great ones on that list though and some great ones that aren't... The Wild Bunch, Red River.... Stagecoach ?

 

[GNG]

Shane
Unforgiven
The Searchers
The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid

Was happy to see The Man Who Who Shot Liberty Valence on the list.

I went with Unforgiven because it was one of the few Westerns that didn't over-saturate violence. It starts slow and then comes to one badass, drunken climax.

I chose The Outlaw Josey Wales because it is my favorite but The Good, The Bad & The Ugly would be worthy just the same IMO.

Lee Van Cleef is one of my favorites of all-time! He is a huge part of why I like Westerns. That Star Wars CGI show even has a bounty hunter based on LVC.

My Name is Nobody - Henry Fonda & Terence Hill

 

[Schmoopy1000]

I loved a ton on that list, but I went with other.

The Long Riders is my pick

 

[juliansteed]

I haven't seen a lot of the classics but I picked Unforgiven.

I'm also a big fan of both Young Guns movies, especially the 1st. They're never in contention for best western but they can sometimes find their way onto a few people's Top 10 lists, as they did in this thread.

I also really liked The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, even if the title is the biggest spoiler ever. Not your typical western as there isn't much action and it's a lot slower than most but a great movie in my opinion.

 

[Chef99]

Gotta go with The Magnificent Seven with The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance a very close second.

Honorable Mention to Tombstone - Kilmer was awesome in that.

After that, it's all Clint, I think.

The Dollars Trilogy

I still think of it as 1 big movie.

 

[GNG]

Was happy to see The Man Who Who Shot Liberty Valence on the list.

 

[douggie]

I always loved this movie.

 

[PatsFan2003]

I loved a ton on that list, but I went with other.

The Long Riders is my pick

Beat me to it. A great underrated Western although I'd still put the Good, the Bad and the Ugly as my #1

 

[GreenNickle]

Once upon a time in the West

 

[packerzrule]

so many damn good ones to choose from but had to go with Once Upon a Time in the West

Henry Fonda as a bad guy was out of his character but nailed the role
