The Big Country

Really good movie with pretty ladies Jean Simmons & Carroll Baker, a rivalry between Charles Bickford & Burl Ives, a duel between Gregory Peck & Chuck Connors, and a fist fight between Charlton Heston and Gregory Peck. Great theme song too!

Monte Walsh

The Tom Selleck & Keith Carradine or Lee Marvin & Jack Palance one?

Monte Walsh (1970) (Full movie on YouTube)

Will Penny (1967) is another good one with some similar themes. Stars Charlton Heston, Joan Hackett, Donald Pleasence, Bruce Dern, Lee Majors, Ben Johnson, Slim Pickens

*Stage Coach ( classic John Ford)
*The Searchers( an unusual, dark western with John Wayne) serious mindedvery highly regarded regarded.

*Pale Rider.- Clint Eastwood at his best, protecting peaceful farmers, while banging their women and killing the bad guys.

Barberosa is probably the best western you've never seen. It stars Willie Nelson and a young Gary Busey. It's a fantastic movie and measures up

Actually its spelled Barbarosa.

Other than that you’re spot on. I haven’t seen it in almost 40 years (it came out in 1982) and its still one of my favorite films (not just Westerns).

Just saw that it’s on Amazon Prime. Gonna watch it tomorrow

Depending on how broadly we're going to stretch the definition:

Hell or High Water
No Country for Old Men

For some that fit the more traditional mold:

High Plains Drifter
Pale Rider
Quigley Down Under
The Proposition

I grew up on John Wayne movies, as they were some of my mom's favorites, but very few of them still hold up IMO.
