Best Western?

"Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"
"Tombstone"
"Open Range"- Probably my all time favorite
"The Searchers"

Could go on with this list for a while. Everyone loves westerns.

"A Man Called Horse"

"The Legend of the Lone Ranger"

"Destry Rides Again"

"The Streets of Laredo"

I had to amend this thread for not mentioning another of my favourites:

Vera Cruz

Joe Erin: Ben Trane. I don't trust him. He likes people, and you can never count on a man like that.

Gotta love St. Burt...

In no particular order:

Unforgiven
The 'Man with no name' trilogy
High Noon
Tombstone
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Wild Bunch

Little Bill Daggett: You just shot an unarmed man.
Bill Munny: He should have armed himself if he's gonna decorate his saloon with my friend.

I pretty much like them all. Since nobody mentioned it, I still get a good feeling watching True Grit.

"You can't serve papers on a rat, baby sister. You gotta kill him or let him be."
R. Cogburn

Not a classic but I had a bit part in this one.

In my opinion, by far the best western ever made ...

Truly a cinematic work of art by Sergio Leone and haunting music by Ennio Morricone.



Incidentally, New Order's Elegia has a similar melody:



Legendary opening scene.



If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it.

Hahaha, I almost posted:

stayed in one once, I think it was ok.

For me it is The Good and the Bad and the Ugly. Theme music alone is worth it.

Into the West was also a good miniseries.

In no particular order

High Plains Drifter
True Grit
Tombstone
Pale Rider
Magnificant 7
The Cowboys (this is a great western to watch with kids)
