[martym]

El Bueno Malo Feo
The Good The Bad and The Ugly
(Great in both languages-saw it 1st in Spanish)
Big Jake
The Cowboys
McLintock
Hang ‘Em High
Pale Rider
Chato’s Land
Shane
Hondo
Open Range/Joe Kidd—tie

 

[Alacrity59]

Ah I was thinking of Shane as well.

Maybe a couple of odd ones. I really enjoyed Cat Ballou and Paint your Wagons (a musical if you can believe it). Both with Lee Marvin. Also Emperor of the North Pole . . . not exactly a Western but close.

 

[ZJ68]

Was thinking High Plains Drifter and Pale Rider are good Westerns for Halloween.

Maybe BloodRayne 2.

 

[trashcanmagic]

In order:

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Hostiles
Dances With Wolves
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid
A Fistful of Dollars
For a Few Dollars More
Bone Tomahawk
Once Upon a Time in the West
Shane

I despise John Wayne and his movies, so they're a hard pass for me (good on you if you like them, though).

 

[Chevy Novacaine]

High Noon
Old Yeller
True Grit (1969)
Support Your Local Gunfighter
Dances with Wolves
Unforgiven
True Grit (2010)
Rango
Hell or High Water
Red Dead Redemption 2

Honorable mention to Back to the Future III, the movie responsible for kindling my love of westerns as a kid.

 

[Bakker1964]

Emperor of the North . . . not exactly a Western but close.

Ernest Borgnine as the sadistic Railroad Cop. Lovely film.

 

[Saxonbowman]

I can't really name a favorite ten but I have a few I'm particularly fond of.
Rio Bravo -- great story and superb cast

Gunfight at the OK Corral -- Based on a true story as they say, but mostly fiction. If you want to find out what really happened read And Die in the West: The Story of the O.K. Corral Gunfight by Paula Mitchell Mark

I watched the first three of Clint Eastwood's spaghetti westerns recently and those were a lot of fun. I love Ennio Moricone's soundtracks. Once Upon a Time in the West is on my list to watch.

 

[simon1]

I think they have already been named. Those by John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Audie Murphy, Tom Selleck, Sam Elliot, etc.

For a couple of recent ones to add to the list The Legend of Five Mile Cave was good.

I thought this one was good, but as usual YMMV. County Line.

 

[vacman]

On the lighter side:

McLintock
Blazing Saddles
Cat Ballou
Rustlers Rhapsody (Which takes us back to the Saturday morning TV westerns)
Support Your Local Gunfighter
Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid
The Frisco Kid
Zorro, The Gay Blade (with George Hamilton)

Ya gotta maintain a sense of humor.....

 

[John Rose]

In no particular order:

• Hang 'Em High
• High Plains Drifter
• The Magnificent Seven (1960)
• True Grit (2010)
• Ballad of Buster Scruggs
• The Long Riders (1980) - the cast had three sets of brothers (Quaid, Keach, Carradine) playing three sets of brothers (Miller, James, Younger).
• The Mask of Zorro (1998)
• Wyatt Earp (1994) - mostly for Dennis Quaid's Doc Holliday
• Little Big Man
• Young Guns

Runners-up:

• Cowboys & Aliens
• Rango
• Blazing Saddles
• Dances With Wolves
• The Postman (1997) - kind of a Western?

 

[trashcanmagic]

I dont know if people just haven't seen Hostiles, but if you like westerns or Wes Studi you owe it to yourself to check it out.
