I'm sicka you.
Did anyone mention Seven Samurai? Okay, a Japanese film, swords rather than guns, but still a Western in theme, so much so that it was redone practically scene by scene as The Magnificent Seven, which wasn't all that bad, either.
I know people who would put The Wild Bunch right up there. I'm not one of them, but it might deserve mention.
Word. All so good, Kurben, Grandpa.The seven samurai is just one of Korusawas "western". Have anyone seen Yojimbo? A Fistful of Dollars is copied almost scene for scene from that movie. Its just that Toshiro Mifune had a sword but Clint Eastwood had a gun. Otherwise they are identical. Korusawa is much copied, his The Wild Escape was the main inspiration for the first Star Wars movie according to George Lucas himself.
Speaking of Toshiro Mifune he actually made a western in the US that are quite good. Red Sun with him and Charles Bronson in the leads. Think it was Terence young who directed. Alain Delon and Ursula Andress is also in the movie.
I think I have just found the best western ever , sound familiar .
"A gunslinger comes to the aid of a boy named Jay, and together they head West across the great American desert in search of Rose"
Don't believe me -
A Million Ways to Die in the West.I love the Spagetti stuff, any Clint stuff, sure. Peckinpah.
If I do John Wayne, I'll take one of the 'S's: The Searchers, Stagecoach, or The Shootist.
I'll watch both Young Guns back to back, despite the lame electric guitar score.
Any Jimmy Stewart western, yer bugger.
Once Upon A Time In The West got em all beat, though.
A Million Ways to Die in the West.
Watch for the line, "Why don't you shut up????" It's worth watching the whole movie to see that one line. (I know this isn't a real western. I'm mixing it up tonight.)
Gross but hilarious, yes.I rather liked Neil Patrick Harris and the hat scene. Sure, call me sick.
I have Once Upon A Time In The West on order.I love the Spagetti stuff, any Clint stuff, sure. Peckinpah.

After some thought, I have to add a couple.
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, pretty much because I was so entertained the movie after it came out that I enjoyed just going to see it when I could.
Open Range. It was a gritty, well-done Western. For those who don't like Kevin Costner (and I can understand that), you might want to catch this one anyway. And Robert Duvall and Annette Bening ain't half bad.
Thsi is a great movie.
