I have tried to select the 15 best westernmovies of all time. Some really good, like the Magnificent seven isn't in because it is such a clear ripoff from Kurosawas the Seven Samurai but it is still a very good western. The one of the newer westerns that was close to making it to my list was True Grit. A very good refilmatization of the old movie. I also tried to spreads the honours a little. Ford has three movies in the list. Hawks and Leone has two. The rest has only one. Anthony Mann, that great director of western movies sadly didn't make it He has some that is just outside the list. The list is ordered according to when they were released. I have not tried do arrange the m more than that. What have i messed and which one shouldn't make my list? Feel free to slaughter.
