Yes......how about Burt Lancaster's performance in that one? Also starring Jack Palance, Lee Marvin, Robert Ryan, Woody Strode, and Claudia Cardinale.

Burt's character though really stood out. As it always does in his movies.....

"There was a Crooked Man" with Henry Fonda, Kirk Douglas, Hume Cronyn, and Warren Oates. A true cult classic.

(I've already mentioned Hell or High Water, these kind of fall into the same category...)

Bad Day At Black Rock (Spencer Tracey and a great cast)
Giant (Rock, Liz, JD)
Lone Star (Chris Cooper)
Hud (Paul Newman)
The Rainmaker (Burt Lancaster / Katharine Hepburn)

Add to your list: "Lonely are the Brave" (Kirk Douglas, Walter Matthou) and "Charley Varrick" ?

Newman -> "Hombre"

The Good the Bad and the Ugly
Blazing Saddles
Tombstone

"Unforgiven" would have to be one of the best ever.
My all time favourite although not actually a western is "The Last of The Mohicans". (1992)

The newer "True Grit" is just brilliant but maybe it's too new to be called one of the best.

It's not one of the greats but I really enjoyed "The Quick and The Dead" (1995)

Barbarosa ( 1982) Willie Nelson, Gary Busey

Hands down one of the best ever - a true sleeper. Filmed on location in Big Bend National Park. Stunning scenery.

There are so many to choose from.

I also really liked "The Missouri Breaks" (Marlon Brando - Jack Nicholson)

The bath tub shooting scene was memorable... lol

The Villain. Arnold, Ann Margaret, Kirk Douglas.

Open Range

Because of this thread, I just watched "Once upon a time in the west. That was really good.
