When I think of my favorite Westerns, Open Range is one of the top ones.

Quentin Tarantino called it "hands down Aldrich’s best film of the '70s, as well as being one of the greatest Westerns of the '70s. One of the things that makes the movie so remarkable is it isn’t just a Western; it combines the two genres that Aldrich was most known for, Westerns and war films."

"Eve....I reckon I seen that varmint for the last time...."
~Linus Rawlings

Jack Burns (Kirk Douglas), refusing to conform to the world closing in on him, provokes a brutal fight with the deputies in a bar just to get arrested. It’s not about the violence—it’s a last stand against everything that’s changed.

Same here.....the shoot-out at the end is the best I've seen.
The sound is very realistic also.

.

Ha!

I think it was 7 of John Ford's westerns which featured Monument Valley......

This is a good video. I have some watching to do. The list:

12. Open Range
11. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
10. The Wild Bunch
9. True Grit remake, 2010
8. Ride the High Country
7. The Searchers
6. Shane
5. The Red River
4. High Noon
3. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence
2. The Outlaw Josie Wales
1. Unforgiven

I watched Ride the High Country (1962) last night. Dumb in ways that would never pass in today's movies, but a decent story and good cast. It was fun to see Mariette Hartley in her first credited film role alongside Randolph Scott and Joel McCrea in this Sam Peckinpah western. Had to rent it on Amazon for $3.99.
