Lots of goodies here, but I'm surprised no one's mentioned "My Darling Clementine" or "Winchester '73"

Classics, and fer good reason's too, pard!

Have to be The Outlaw Josey Wales. With Silverado a close second. Clint is the man when it comes to westerns.

I am not going to get into my favorite but among the ones not included are Jeremia Johnson, and I know that movie that Steve McQueen was in and the title was the name of the guy who everyone admired so much that they made him hang himself.
I did enjoy the 2 Young Guns movies, and Little Big Man is not just a good western it is just a great movie. Not a big Dustin Hoffman fan myself but I think it is his best movie and the performance was better than Rainman, not to mention Faye Dunnaway ........woohoo!!!
Dances with Wolves had some shots in it that are important but I didn't like the movie as a whole. It was slow paced and the story wasn't good enough to the time devoted to it.
Lonesome Dove when watched as a movie is one of the very best things ever put to film. There is enough time for character devlopement and it is held back enough that it doesn't try to express the true horror story that it is. It is many stories entertwined and I feel it portrayed things in a true and honest manner other than the gang rapes, torture etc done by the Comancheros. Honest characters in true settings. That isn't easy to do.

I want to add as Honorable Mention the new western by Kevin Costner, Open Range. Duval, as usual was great. The movie was a classic example of how cowboys would stick together, and lay their life on the line, for what they believed in. It looks like Costner may be our only hope to take over where Clint left off, in the making of westerns.

McLintock....and....The Shootist..... with the Duke

As for Clint...his westerns were great...but Dirty Harry is my ultimate HERO!.... ...even over Capt. Kirk!...lol

That it is and if you want to really mix things up watch that and follow it with Once Upon A Time In The West. Henry Fonda could not have played 2 rolls so opposite in polarity in the same genre. One of the reasons OUTITW didn't go over well in the states IMO.

I thought Val Kilmer's portrayal of Doc Holliday in Tombstone worthy of an Oscar. "I'll be your huckleberry."

Glenn Ford, another fine western actor. Can't think of the movie title, but I have seen it. Was it the one where he was a sheep rancher?

Couldn't gree more. Even read the book which is equally as good.

Paint Your Wagon, a musical comedy is OK except when Clint Eastwood sings.
