Pale Rider is high up the list as well. And Blazing Saddles is the funniest western movie of all time. |
The original that all others are measured by:

Another on my favorite classics:

They had a falling out for a time when Fonda's anti-American antics got too much but they soon recovered from that. Credit to Stewart's strong character. |
How the West Was Won is widely considered one of Hollywood's greatest epics. The film received widespread critical acclaim and was a box office success, grossing $50 million on a budget of $15 million. At the 36th Academy Awards it earned eight nominations, including Best Picture, and won three, for Best Story and Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen, Best Sound and Best Film Editing. In 1997 it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

Maybe becoming long in the tooth, but "Quigby down under" was one hellofa western...and damned acurate when it came to the firearms of the period. Dixie should give it a watch. |
Old Henry!

I started watching 1923. So far I've made it to Episode Four, and I'm thinking I like it better than Yellowstone.

I prefer the vintage stuff, myself. Like this one that's 65 years old.
My fav. scene in the movie....... <iframe width="718" height="404" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GH5EfxcrjLc" title="The Magnificent Seven 4K UHD - Boot Hill Cemetery Scene | High-Def Digest" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
Hannie Caulder with Raquel Welch. I haven't seen it in over 30 years so I can't remember if it's any good but I do vaguely remember a scene with Raquel getting out of a bath tub with leather pants on and that's all a movie needs to be good for me :)

Really nice museum I stumbled across in Fort Worth a couple weeks ago. The Sid Richardson Museum. The Cinematic West: The Art that Made the Movies. Features original movie posters and original works of art from Frederick Remington and Charles Russell. Their art inspired the westerns that everyone is talking about here. I highly recommend it and it is always free to enter. A real gem in Fort Worth.

I've been retired about 2 months now, and I've watched a lot of westerns.
Gunsmoke - seems like an awful lot of the episodes end with the convenient death of the antagonist, not always at the hands of the marshal, often at the hands of their accomplices. A lot of 70's sitcom stars got their start as western villains. Seeing Buddy Ebsen or Alan Hale playing a bad guy was interesting. Dawn Wells as a Native American too. Buddy Hackett or Raymond Burr on a horse is amusing. It's not a real western unless Denver Pyle or Edgar Buchanan are in it. Bonus points if they're playing a drunk. |

I think they just did so many Westerns, from every possible angle, people eventually got tired of it.
