re: What are you favorite Westerns?

Outlaw Josey Wales tops my list by a mile then Once Upon a Time in the West. I still like the "Nobody" Westerns. Not quite as serious as some listed but fun to watch.

I'll add Old Henry to the list.

Does Support Your Local Sheriff count?

One of my all time favorite western comedies to this day.

that the Scandinavian version?

It was far better in the original Scandinavian.

Man Who Shot Liberty Valence

My favorite movie of all time...regardless of genre.

Some good ones that haven't been mentioned.

The Ox-Bow Incident (1943)
Henry Fonda, Dana Andrews, Anthony Quinn, Harry Morgan, Jane Darwell

My Darling Clementine (1946)
Henry Fonda, Victor Mature, Linda Darnell, Walter Brennan, Ward Bond

3:10 to Yuma (1957)
Glenn Ford, Van Heflin, Richard Jaeckel

The Big Country (1958)
Gregory Peck, Charlton Heston, Jean Simmons, Carroll Baker, Burl Ives, Charles Bickford

Will Penny (1967)
Charlton Heston, Joan Hackett, Donald Pleasence, Bruce Dern, Lee Majors, Ben Johnson, Slim Pickens,

Lonesome Dove is not only my favorite western, but one of my two favorite shows/movies of any genre. (The only thing I'd put equal to it is Band of Brothers).

After that, a lot of the John Wayne and Clint Eastwood movies would be in group. Maybe Unforgiven and something like The Sons of Katie Elder if I had to pick a couple.

Zoomer here, Is No country for old men a western?

That, is a really good question. I can argue it several ways. Needs it's own thread.

Once upon a time in the West is what I consider to be the best film ever made
