Here's my offering: Doc Holiday Vs Johnny Ringo Tombstone

This one was a bit too campy/trite/cliche for me. The popped collar, the cocked hat, slowly coming forward into light… [gag]

I would have gone with Once Upon A Time In The West, but I see it’s been mentioned. Much grittier than Tombstone, which always looks like a broadway play or a western costume drama to me.

In the conversation as one of my faves because it’s not cliche but still memorably stylistic is the final scene of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

I said "favorite" and not Best...


Maybe this is more of what you had in mind:

Epic Gun Fight


All in good fun

Buster Scruggs

Shane will always be the nostalgic favorite of mine.

I also love Unforgiven final shootout.

Love the one in Appaloosa.

Everett Hitch: That was quick.

Virgil Cole: Yeah, everybody could shoot.

Way of the Gun final shootout

Doc Holliday in Tombstone, of course. The same with Heat. The standoff gunfight at the end of Wind River is excellent.
