Bubbs999....

A lot of great ones you've got on your list. I love Tombstone, Open Range, She Wore A Yellow Ribbon. I'd add "The Sons of Katie Elder", "Rio Bravo" which is basically the predecessor to El Dorado with very similar scripts with Bob Mitchum taking the Dean Martin role and James Caan in the Rick Nelson cast, The Magnificent Seven (the 2017 remake was bad, Stagecoach (John Ford version not the bomb from the 60s), "My Darling Clementine", "Lonesome Dove" (technically it was a TV mini-series), "Red River", "Appaloosa". And other great ones I don't recall at the moment.

Thanks for the comments

There are so many great Westerns, it was really hard to choose an 'absolute favourites' list. I also enjoyed films like 'Son of Paleface' and 'Winchester 73'

Sorry to correct you, but "Rio Bravo" was John Wayne, Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson, Walter Brennan and the beautiful Angie Dickinson.

"El Dorado" was Big John again, with Robert Mitchum (who was very funny and played a great drunk), Christopher George (as gunfighter Nelse McCloud), Ed Asner and a very young James Caan.

Both films should really be on my list..... but then my list could be 30 movies long. Have to draw the line somewhere.

I've revisited this thread. I still love "Roy Bean," but believe "Unforgiven" might be the greatest Western yet made. Others in no particular order: "The Searchers,""Red River," Cheyenne Autumn,""Little Big Man," "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "The Wild Bunch," "The Shootist," "The Man from Laramie," "Winchester '73," "Shane," "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance," "A Fistful of Dollars," "The Long Riders," "Hombre," "High Noon," and many others that I can't think of at the moment.

It is up there certainly, but if I was compiling a list, Godless would be at the top of that.

Just watched "Hostiles" -- which is good, with an always strong performance by Christian Bale and Wes Studi (a native Cherokee speaker, but he's speaking Cheyenne here-- these are unrelated languages).

If you can overlook some of the politically correct improbables ("there's bad people on all sides, we're all victims") there's a lot to like in the movie-- but it says as much about the contemporary political challenges of "the Western" as anything else.

Nicely shot, sloppily directed, but the acting is so good that you'll give it a pass on the stuff that's clunky.

Recommended.

The Hateful Eight. I love it, up there with High Noon and The Magnificent Seven. And I love Zoe Bell's character, Six Horse Judy. A nod to Calamity Jane I'm sure.
