I'm thinking Outlaw Josey Whales... but I'd need to review them all to know for sure. Been years since I saw any of them.

Monte Walsh

The version that starred Lee Marvin. It's been remade with Tom Selleck, but I haven't seen that one yet.

You guys are all nuts, or maybe you just haven't been exposed to truly great movies... 🙂

The best western is definitely The Magnificent Seven. It helped define the genre, even though it was loosely based on The Seven Samurai.

Yes, I have both. The Tom Selleck version is very good also. Lots of beautiful scenery in the Selleck version.

It's a difficult call but I vote for "The Long Riders".

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

Red River

Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

High Plains Drifter

Unforgiven

That weird Jarmusch one ("Dead Man"😉 is probably worth seeing too.

Paint Your Wagon!
This is a musical, but after watching it several times, it still is funnier than hell. Not exactly cowboys, just a bunch of gold miners, but this is the only movie I have ever seen with Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood singing....

"Shane", 1953, with Allan Ladd, Jean Arthur, Van Heflin, and Jack Palance. Classic western.

In order of greatness (and I can only take Westerns with a pinch of salt, mind you):

1. The good, the bad and the ugly (Clint)
2. Little big man (Dustin Hoffman)
3. Maverik (Gibson, Foster and Garner)

The Long riders is a great flick, it had old timey music in it made by some friends so maybe I am prejudiced!
I think its Aussie but the movie 'The man from Snowy river' was a great little flick.
