My favorite old Western is Man who shot Liberty Valance.
Out of the newer ones you can't beat Open Range.

This week, I are been mostly watching Westerns, well two so far: A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More and next The Good the Bad and The Ugly.

I was wondering if you Americans had favourite westerns that they would recommend? Age doesn't really matter but I'm not so keen on recent films. Better older than newer then.

I have never watched Shane for instance, is that a good one?  :old:



Shane is excellent.
Destry
Unforgiven
McLintock
Once Upon A Time In The West
Broken Arrow
Outlaw Josey Wells
Winchester '73
High Noon
Hondo
Apache
Pale Rider
The Comancheros
How The West Was Won
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
Shanandoah
The Sons Of Katie Elder
El Dorado
Nevada Smith
The Rare Breed
The War Wagon
Fire Creek
Hang'em High
Death Of A Gunfighter
Support Your Local Sheriff
Support Your Local Gunfighter
True Grit
No Name On The Bullit
Jeremiah Johnson
The Life And Times Of Judge Roy Bean
High Plains Drifter
My Name Is Nobody

Part of my collection................... ...........

probably going to get flamed but....Tombstone, if not just for Doc Holidays character.

Probably my favorite movie ever...just because of Doc!

I agree with AKWabbit

If I could only watch one western ever again it would be Lonesome Dove the mini series. Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones are excellent in it.

Cant watch Cat Ballou without picturing Janie wearing a little NVR helmet on her head. Probably my faves are Shane, Unforgiven, The Wild Bunch, 2nd True Grit "sorry Duke", and Jeremiah Johnson. The War Wagon was pretty good too.

Unforgiven - Clint Eastwood as director

And the trailer doesn't do this one justice: The Last Outlaw w/ Mickey Rourke
