Open Range will eventually be like Tombstone, a modern classic...

I know the gentleman who was one of the producers. They had a tight budget and almost couldnt afford annette benning. No set in place and they just asked “where did they shoot UNFORGIVEN”?

So off they went to Calgary. Just to show you how pro-American Robert Duvall was, he was mad that foreign actors were taking away parts for American actors while he was on-set..

How the West Was Won is too often overlooked, and should replace Shane in the top 10. Open Range is one of the few good westerns of recent vintage; I would replace High Noon which is Highly overrated with that.

[Captain Peter Blood]

Most of those are too recent. A list like this is impossible, in the 1930’s and 1940’s there were so many great westerns made that aren’t being mentioned at all.

How about:
Western Union
Dodge City: Almost anything with Errol Flynn
San Antonio
Anything with Gary Cooper
The Westener
You can go on and on.
