Monte Walsh

It was done twice, first with Lee Marvin and then with Tom Selleck.
I would recommend watching both.

The TV series Deadwood permanently altered what I am looking for from a "western".

I give it 2 thumbs up

Yes, scrub his war movies but never his westerns.

And I missed a big one - Silverado, with Costner, Scott Glenn, Kevin Cline, Danny Glover, Dennehy, Cleese and Jeff Goldblum. Can't for the life of me remember the name of the little bartender called Stella. She stole the whole thing IMO.

Does "Dances with Wolves" classify?
I loved it but inexplicably nobody else did... 😞

Maybe I was harsh about Wayne ... Stagecoach was classic.
He was hampered by a lack of acting ability which wasn't his fault..

How the west was won
Warlock
The sons of Katie elder
Forty guns at Apache pass [my all time favourite]

I rather like Missouri Breaks (with Nicholson and Brando) but the critics and the paying public didn't.
