The Outlaw Josey Wales.

It's awesome.

It's also Michael Jordan's favorite movie which is pretty cool.

The Big Country
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Lonesome Dove(mini series)
Any John Wayne Western-- but I prefer Stage Coach; its just a great story that pretty much launched John Wayne.

As said Tombstone, Unforgiven, and Josey Wales.


Costner's Wyatt Earp is pretty good. Covers most of his life. .

The Quick and the Dead is good.

Great question. I think there's three periods of westerns, and you should dabble in each.

THE CLASSIC ERA:
High Noon
Stagecoach
Treasure of Sierra Madre
The Searchers

REVISIONIST ERA:
Outlaw Josey Wales
Once Upon a Time in the West
Fistful of Dollars (you've already seen the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly)
Magnificent 7 (the real one)
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

MODERN ERA:
Unforgiven
True Grit (Coen brothers version)
No Country for Old Men
Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
The Proposition

The Outlaw Josey Wales

Might not fit your "classic" definition but it is one of the best Westerns ever produced.
