The Wild Bunch and Unforgiven are at the very top of my favorite movies ever.
Other favorite westerns: McCabe & Ms. Miller, Jeremiah Johnson (I like the snow movies), Hombre, and anything Eastwood did, especially Josey Wales.
Classic era westerns are usually not my thing.
I like Wyatt Earp, reason why it is underrated are not clear to me (are there really so much good westerns, especially since 80s, so that Earp can be dismissed?).
I didn’t like Dance with the wolves on the other hand.
Recently I liked True Grit remake (which can’t be said for 3:10 to Yuma).

2.Major Dundee (Sam Peckinpah-1965)
3.Rio Bravo (Howard Hawks-1959)

Honored mentioned:

The Man who Shot Liberty Valance (John Ford-1962)
The Hired Hand (Peter Fonda-1971)
Bandolero! (Andrew V. McLaglen-1968)
Wild Bill (Walter Hill)
You called that as one of your worst, but I have to admit to having a soft side for the film. I bought the DVD, but still watch it each time it comes on television. I’m attracted to it like a motorist rubbernecking at a car accident, I suppose.
the wild bunch 1969

Gotta have
the Assasination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
that film is amazing
I concur. I was absolutely blown away by that film.
Best performance of the year by Casey Affleck in it. I had to see it, after I saw him in the trailer, and after the film, I wanted to give him 10 oscars for that terrififc piece of acting.
I also enjoyed Andrew Dominik’s Killing Them Softly very much, although it is a very different movie (nothing grand or elegiac in this short and to the point satire of the recent gangster movies).
High Plains Drifter
Two Mules for Sister Sara
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Pale Rider
Unforgiven
Hang 'em High
Back to the Future Part III
3:10 to Yuma (remake)
Shanghai Noon
High Plains Drifter Two Mules for Sister Sara The Outlaw Josey Wales Pale Rider Unforgiven Hang 'em High
I like the majority of those, too. Never been too fond of HANG’EM HIGH, though. It’s decent, but rates low on my Eastwood scale.
Just watched it. Excellent film, imo.

Sorry, no Clint.
Clint is a bore.
My favorites in no particular order:
Doc (1971)
The Hired Hand (1971)
Posse (1975)
The McMasters (1970)
Monte Walsh (1970)
The Wild Bunch
Chato’s Land (1972)
Oklahoma Crude (1973)
Fine bunch of westerns there. Like alot of 70’s westerns myself.
I like to think of the 70’s as the “experimental era” for westerns because we had so many different ways of presenting the west, and also another favorite of mine is The Ballad of Cable Hogue.

Interesting list. All films I like (with the exception of My Darling Clementine, I never could get into that movie), although only 2 and 4 are in my actual Top 10 (6 and 7 are close). I remember a list from a website or forum, made by members, with Mann also in first place, but not with this movie, but Man of the West.
Mann seems to be the man.
Time to make a new list myself. Soon in this theatre
