I am partial to Unforgiven, particularly the ending.

But I have not seen Outlaw Josey Wales.
I’m going to put it on my downtime to-do list.

My group of male friends from college regularly uses "catch phrases" from The Outlaw Josey Wales - nearly 50 years later.

"It's for lookin' through"

"Doin' right ain't got no end"

"Dyin' ain't much of a livin', boy"

Granny Hawkins: "I say that big talk's worth doodly-squat"

"I ain't promising you nothing extra"

"It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double-tongues"

"Hell is coming to breakfast"

There are more memorable lines in Wales than most movies that is for sure. Like “Dying ain’t much of a living” Classic.

You know what to do. You won’t be at all disappointed.

Unforgiven is the best western ever made. I have rarely seen a movie that can make its characters, good, bad and ugly, as real, flawed and complex people the way Eastwood’s Unforgiven did. Even Little Bill is rendered as a flawed man with real depth. You understand why Munny has every right to kill Little Bill even though you kinda feel bad for Little Bill. The perfect scene humanizing Little Bill is when his henchmen mock Little Bill’s self-built house and his carpentry skills.

I am utterly flabbergasted that there is anyone who has not seen that movie.

The Outlaw Josey Wales is great. Perhaps his best, but there are so many - and they perhaps can be “best” depending on what they are best at. Unforgiven is up there for the morality story (as is High Plains Drifter).

IIRC, the Outlaw Josey Wales was filmed in numerous places, and at just the right time of the year for each place to capture the right light, colors and moods. The movie is large both in the story told, the characters and the range of scenery.

I’ve never seen that one either - how nice to have something like this to look forward to...

Me too. Never seen a more intense swig of whiskey.
