You know the drill by now troopers! Like the Official Spaghetti Western Top 20, it will be scored with #1 -25 points, #2 - 21 points, #3 -19 points, #4 - 17 points, etc, etc all the way down to #20 - 1 point!
All Westerns made in the United States from the dawn of cinema to today are eligible.

Actually the first 3 get in the SW list 25, 21 and 19 points. And then from 17 (for #4) down to 1.
But in the end it doesn’t make a great difference.
No. Films only. And only American Westerns too, so no Eurowesterns or “contempory” Westerns like Hud or No Country for Old Men or The Treasure of the Sierre Madre.

I can alter it - I can see why you did that, to reward the top three the most.
Very difficult to bring the list of favorite westerns down to 20
Another thing is that I would be able to pick one film and call it my favorite. Talking about the spaghetti western, there are (for me) two movies way above the rest, in relation to the Almerican western it’s not that easy.
This is my list of 20 favorites, in chronological order (those in maroon are the Top 10):
1948 - Blood on the Moon
1948 - Fort Apache
1948 - The Paleface
1949 - Colorado Territory
1950 - The Gunfighter
1952 - High Noon
1953 - Shane
1955 - The Man from Laramie
1958 - Man of the West
1959 - Warlock
1959 - Ride Lonesome
1959 - Rio Bravo
1962 - The Man who shot Liberty Valence
1962 - Ride the High Country
1969 - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
1969 - Tell them Willie Boy is here
1970 - Monte Walsh
1970 - Little Big Man
1972 - Jeremiah Johnson
2010 - True Grit
(I’d like to see you follow up with an “alternate” list for “modern” westerns (Bad Day at Black Rock), animations (Rango), and comedies (Paleface). I still included Three Amigos because, man, I love that movie.)
Both. I like Bob Hope and Jane's strong ponts are obvious
Awesome! I love all three: Paleface, Son of Paleface, and Fancy Pants. In Son of, Roy Rogers has a rifle hidden in his guitar that, if I recall correctly, he cocks by running his hand up and down the neck. Coolest thing ever.
Terror in a Texas Town
Thought for sure I’d be the only one with this on their list!

It’s a nice list Scherp, but I’m sure you’re appreciate that it will be quite hard for me count it, points-wise… ???
