The Searchers is a strong choice. I will have to re-watch 3:10 to Yuma.

Tombstone, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Open Range

Although Silverado was fun to watch, The Good, the Bad, and The Ugly is classic too.

I bought "3:10 to Yuma" (the remake) on Bluray and was very disappointed in it. I thought the original one with Van Heflin and Glen Ford was much better. I couldn't even watch the re-make all the way through. When the gang followed and stopped the stage coach after riding 20 miles, the movie should have been over. There's no way they could have ridden another 20 miles (20 miles was about the max that most horses could be ridden in one day) back where they started from and then another however many more miles to catch up. No friggin way. That was total BS. Their horses would have been ridden to death before they made 10 miles back tracking.

I pretty much agree with you. Honorable mention goes to Quigley Down Under and Pale Rider...

The Outlaw Josey Wales
The Good, the Bad, the Ugly
Lonesome Dove

And if you don't accept Lonesome Dove because it's a mini-series,
then Pale Rider

Are we classifying Deadwood as a western ?

I was thinking about feature length films when I asked the question, but Deadwood definitely deserves mention.

outlaw josey wales

The sons of Katie elder

Tombstone
The Cowboys- Could easily substitute Big Jake
Unforgiven- but could easily substitute Outlaw Josey Wales

Really needs to be a Top 5 or 10....so I could add 3:10 to Yuma and Quigley Down Under, maybe the Shootist too. Then theres' The Wild Bunch and The Magnificent Seven......Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.....Lots of good old Westerns....

Watched a great movie the other night that I had never seen before- The Professionals, 1966...... Lee Marvin and Burt Lancaster, Mexican Revolution era film with excellent period correct melange of weapons- Smith DA Wheelguns, 1911, Colt Peacemakers, Winchester 97 Trench, 03's Springfields, Maxim gun, Lewis Gun, Winchester 92 Saddle Ring carbines etc....Lots of "gunny porn".

Josey Wales, Lonesome Dove, ~~Young Guns~~ Dances with Wolves - Edited to add this, probably my favorite now that I'm really thinking about it, I just need to find the time to watch it again.

Unforgiven, High Plains Drifter, and For a Few Dollars More are all close though.
