Blazing saddles.

The list is flawed: “The Wild Bunch” is missing. Definitely one of the top 10.

[SkyDancer]

Clint Eastwood - High Plains Drifter

[RckyRaCoCo]

3:10 to Yuma

[raybbr]

“Silverado “. Really needs to be on that list.

[Fai Mao]

The Unforgiven deserves at least an honorable mention somewhere as does The Cowboys.

I’d swap the top two. The Searchers is actually one of the best film ever done in any genre.

[corlorde]

I liked Unforgiven & The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

[cherry]

“Once upon a time in the West” was pretty stupid IMO...

[Rummyfan]

I agree with all the Top Ten except for High Noon, which i think is grossly overrated. I would also throw in Unforgiven and The Wild Bunch and True Grit, either version, just off the top of my head.

[Vince Ferrer]

Unforgiven

[Timmy]

I like the list, but how about “The Sons of Katie Elder?”

[max americana]

I only saw LIberty Valance in the last 2 years. Masterpiece. Couldn’t believe that Lee Marvin could play a villain and one his henchmen was a young Lee Van Cleef. Jimmy Stewart played it perfectly in this movie more than the Christmas movie..

and no UNFORGIVEN?? Blasphemy

[FredZarguna]

Not a bad list, but Shane doesn't belong in it.

[Albion Wilde]

How the West Was Won
Cat Ballou
McCabe and Mrs. Miller
Greaser’s Palace
Open Range
Tender Mercies
Dances with Wolves
Blazing Saddles
No Country for Old Men

[sparklite2]

1. Cat Ballou
2. North to Alaska
3. Rio Bravo
4. Blazing Saddles
5. Emperor of the North
6. Silverado
7. Two Mules for Sister Sarah
8. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
9. Support Your Local Sheriff
10. True Grit

“The Shootist” is really aging well for me. I saw it when it came out. And maybe had it on the tv as background noise a few other times. But I watched it again a few weeks ago and it is a very, very good western. And a really good movie

[max americana]

the british actor who played English Bob in Unforgiven, actually was watching High Plains Drifter on satellite dish in the Bahamas when he got the call from Clint. He couldn’t believe the coincidence, and just said yes. He thought the guy who said it was Clint Eastwood was pulling a prank on him..

[iowamark]

They Call Me Trinity.
