I'm a sucker for spaghetti westerns, so
Once Upon a Time in the West
My favorite is the new True Grit, though.

Love your pick, great movie. The Searchers is probably the greatest.

This is almost impossible to say.
Can I break it down to my top ten for each decade? That seems reasonable.

If mini series count, I'd say Lonesome Dove by a long shot.
If not, I'd say The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, followed by Ed Dorado and Man WIthout a Star.
And while it's not as universially acclaimed, I always liked The Sons of Katie Elder

By a mile. But it's not a shoot'em up, action movie. MWSLV transcends the western genre and ranks high on any list of great movies.

This question is not even fair. A case can be made for every one listed so far.

Django Unchained > True Grit.
But yes, Once Upon a Time in the West is the GOAT

Outlaw Josey....
Tombstone is good, but OJW is grittier.
