Top 10 Westerns of all time.

[Toast]

My list:

Outlaw Josey Wales
Big Jake
For a Few Dollars More
Joe Kidd
The Shootist
Jeremiah Johnson
Tombstone
Silverado
True Grit (Jeff Bridges)
Open Range

Clint Eastwood changed the genre by digging deep and applying a revisionist take; bringing to light 19th century events such as federal land reform in the American Southwest, Bleeding Kansas and the Missouri compromise. I also loved his roles in the Sergio Leone directed films.

Not on the list but HBO Films came out with some good ones in the late 1980's such as The Tracker and The Quick and The Dead (not to be confused with the Gene Hackman/Russell Crowe movie which as also very good). The Lonesome Dove mini series was epic. I watch it every winter.

2. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
3. Shane
4. The Magnificent Seven
5. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
6. The Oxbow Incident

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is a great movie but For a Few Dollars More is my favorite of the trilogy, I still get tears during the final dual between Colonel Mortimer and El Indio. The Sergio Leone movies in particular resonate with me as I have fond memories watching those with my dad.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is another good one as is Once Upon of Time in the West.

Dean Martin turned in a great performance in that one as The Dude.

You're a low down Yankee liar!

Savage burns and takedowns dont get any better than this.



I like how the director used the dog skulking off out of the line of fire as foreshadowing. Genius!

And for a comedy Western
