Seattle a hellhole? There are worse places, I would think. Though, like in NY, you're surrounded by liberals.

I like the orignal list a lot, but my list would find a way to include a guilty pleasure of mine, Sam Raimi's The Quick And The Dead.

Never really thought of The Wild Bunch as a western. It's kind of cult violence movie.

A Fistful of Dollars - The beginning of Sergio and Clint's Dollars series, this is the best of the bunch.

Bunch? There were only two, the other being For a Few Dollars More.

Silverado
Stagecoach
A Man Called Horse
Open Range
Tombstone
The Magnificent Seven

I must make myself stop.

Lived in Brooklyn with a Republican congressman (Vito Fosella). NYC is nowhere near as bad as Seattle, although it is still pretty bad politically (many worship at Hillary's feet). Seattle is just boring with awful food outside of Salmon.

How could one not love it? Just a great movie!

How about Silverado, though? Really fine modern western.

"The Bad, the Bad and the Bad" has no business in first place.

I won't accuse the author of being a rocket scientist.

I actually haven't seen that one. Who's in it?

Trouble with my movie knowledge is that it pretty much includes all the classics from the late fifties back and a few ones from the nineties or so forwards...I'm missing a lot!

Leaves much to look forward to, I suppose!
