I'd rather not talk about the movies I watch when I stay at a Best Western.
Best Western Movie?

If I had to choose one it would be "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance".
Great western. I rewatched it recently and was (again) amazed.
I know it's not a pure western but A Fistful of Dynamite (AKA Duck, you sucker) is a work of art.
Tombstone is my fave!
The Wild bunch too
High Noon but other faves are Unforgiven and the Searchers. Actually the best western is not a western but has a similar story arc and was copied into a western and that is the Seven Samurai!

And the classic western had an influence on Kurosawa. When asked what directors he admired, he said he studied the three masters: "John Ford, John Ford, and John Ford."
The Wild Bunch
If you like A Fistful of Dollars, and don't mind subtitles, you might like the movie it was based on, Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo. He also did a follow up, called Sanjuro. And everyone knows about his Seven Samurai, which brings to mind yet another western.
How about the Searchers, Wild Bunch and Tombstone. And last but certainly not least the Unforgiven. IMHO!!!
I enjoyed "Riders of the Purple Sage" with Ed Harris, but my all time favorite is "The Good, the bad and the Ugly"
Lonesome Dove
Rooster Cogburn
Two Mules for Sister Sara

High Noon made history with the score. It seems the theme song was woven throughout the orchestral music which started a trend that has endured in movie music.
Any of Clint's - the "Dollars" series and Unforgiven at the top.
Never got into the older Westerns, so I don't know much about them.
One I haven't seen mentioned that I really like - "Silverado."

Two classics - Shane with Allan Ladd, and Hondo with John Wayne.

The 1957 version of 3:10 To Yuma is a good one to have on this list.
(The 2007 remake is good as well, I just didn't prefer the new ending.)

High Noon and True Grit!
