I'm not a huge fan of Western movies, but I've seen a few, and my favorite is True Grit.

one of my favorites is called "DISTANT DRUMS" or "SEMINOLE"?
starring Gary Cooper it's about some settlers & soldiers battling some Seminole indians in the Florida everglades in the 1840's, I think it's a classic!

High Plains Drifter
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly Unforgiven ...aw, hell, pretty much any Clint Eastwood movie... BTW, did you know that if you rearrange the letters in CLINT EASTWOOD, they spell OLD WEST ACTION??? Freaky...  |

Ditto on Rio Bravo
El Dorado too (close story line to Rio Bravo). Check out Angel and the Badman (John Wayne) when you gets a chance. |

There is only one Western...the rest are derivatives.
The Searchers (1956) directed by John Ford (who claimed it to be his favorite movie), and starring John Wayne (who claimed it to be his favorite movie). It was where all the attributes of John Wayne's persona came together for the very first time. Watch it! And understand Westerns. 'Lee surrendered..I didn't.'

Another vote for Liberty Valance in the top ten. I have Clint Eastwood (Man with no name and Dirty Harry) and John Wayne box sets.

Can't believe no one mentioned High Noon (with Gary Cooper)!
In no particular order: Searchers (probably the best of the bunch) Rio Bravo Outlaw Josie Wales Unforgiven Tombstone Open Range Eldorado Big Jake (Big John Wayne fan) Angel and the Badman My Darling Clementine Geez - I could go on and on

Garden of Evil. Gary Cooper, Richard Widmark, Susan Hayward, Cameron Mitchell, Hugh Marlowe. Best damn Weatern ever made. Dialogue is absolutely outstanding. Excellent plot. Saw it when I was a kid. Sat through it twice. That was back when they didn't run you out of the theater when the movie was over. You could sit through it again. For a long time it was not on TV. It is not available on tape or DVD as far as I know. Been looking for it for years. But recently AMC has been running it. And now I have it on tape. Do yourself a favor and watch it if you can. Some of the best damn lines in any movie you'll ever hear. Great photography.

+1. I love the shoot-out scene at the end. I heard that the Sam Peckinpah fired the first armourer because he only brought 10,000 rounds of blank ammo for shooting the final scene. |

Unforgiven kicks some serious ass. I love "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly" as well ...
Open Range was pretty good ... They'll never be able to top Unforgiven however ... Someone make a youth potion and give it to Eastwood |
