I’ll start:

My six, edited!

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
Unforgiven
Once Upon a Time in the West
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
The Outlaw Josey Wales
The Magnificent Seven

Those are all-time fabulous Western Films. Only six allowed Scott, I had to make a cut somewhere. Give me your six?

4

Magnificent Seven is a gimme. Probably top slot overall.


I’m literally eating huckleberries right now.

And I could probably put any number of late 60’s early 70’s Eastwood films here, but I’m going with this one.

I may change my mind later on it.

No Tombstone? I guess if I had to pick six I’d go, in particular order:

Unforgiven
Silverado
The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
The Searchers
And the sixth would probably have to be split between Tombstone and Once Upon a Time in the West

No, strike that last line - I’d put Lonesome Dove ahead of both Tombstone and Once Upon a Time. It may be a TV movie but I love it to pieces.

Edit: picks bolded for clarity

Looks like my prediction is doing well @Navaronegun

A lot of crossover (granted nearly every single one of these got consideration from me too!)

7

I’ve seen veeeeery few of the classic westerns, so here’s my weirdo list:

  1. Blazing Saddles
  2. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
  3. The Frisco Kid
  4. Maverick
  5. True Grit (2010)
  6. Bone Tomahawk
8

The Outlaw Josey Wales needs to be there…

9

Yes. Shit, 6 is not enough.

10

I prefer the remake of Yuma to the original as well. Rare for me.

None for you either, apparently. :)

Great film.

Good, but I prefer High Plains Drifter.

It’s a Six-Shooter. Supposed to be tough. :)

Unforgiven and Once Upon a Time got consideration from me.

11

There are two kinds of people in the world, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig.

12

If I could do seven I’d probably add They Call Me Trinity.

13

Neither made my cut, nor did Sister Sara, but all got put on the longer ‘short list’

14

I’m kind of shocked nobody loves Silverado but me so far. That movie is so great!

“Today my jurisdiction ends here.”

15

2 1/2 stars. Lightweight film. Bone Tomahawk was better. And Kevin Costner? Booooring.

16

Oh, now that’s fighting words right there. That is a movie for the ages. And some actual acting, unlike some westerns.

17

I loved Silverado, but it doesn’t hit top 6 for me.

18

Absolutely. Kline and Costner both played themselves.

19

Ok sure, you go show Bone Tomahawk to a bunch of kids, let me know how that goes for you.

Change “loved” to “liked” and I am with you.
