I agree with so many listed here but the Searchers is the king; but in the top 5 would also be the Wild Bunch. |
tigrifsgt | 19 Sep 2015 4:39 p.m. PST |
Magnificent 7, Major Dundee, Lonesome Dove, Crossfire Trail, all of the John Wayne cavalry movies. |
nnascati | 19 Sep 2015 4:41 p.m. PST |
All of mine have already been mentioned, though I'd also put any of Randolph Scott's better one on the list. |
Wackmole9 | 19 Sep 2015 4:45 p.m. PST |
The Searchers is my favorite |
DontFearDareaper | 19 Sep 2015 4:47 p.m. PST |
Probably Rio Bravo and its not-remake El Dorado although there are so many that are great and fun to watch its hard to choose. |
tberry7403 | 19 Sep 2015 4:50 p.m. PST |
Adding to those listed above: Hondo @RudyNelson – "Major Dundee" |

Well yes Major Dundee, the Wild Bunch and Two Rode Togther- Peckinpah! Peckinpah, Ford, Eastwood andI'm sorry I gorgot who did Rio Bravo but those guys could construct a Western. |
Huscarle | 19 Sep 2015 5:17 p.m. PST |
The Searchers is my favourite too Also rather fond of the following, plus many of the above, Guns in the Afternoon/Ride the High Country The Unforgiven (Audie Murphy version) Vera Cruz The Naked Spur Ulzana's Raid The Wonderful Country Valdez is Coming The Westerner Hour of the Gun |
Brian Smaller | 19 Sep 2015 5:24 p.m. PST |
I second all of the above. There are very few westerns I didn't at least 'enjoy'. |

ALL of the above AND… "My Darling Clementine"… Henry Fonda… Victor Mature… Alan Mowbray… Linda Darnell… *WALTER BRENNAN*… (Brilliant as the totally EVIL leader of the Clanton gang… Not anything like his "loveable" villain "Judge Roy Bean" in "The Westerner") Directed by JOHN FORD!!! YEAS!!! |
jpattern2 | 19 Sep 2015 5:53 p.m. PST |
The Great Silence is an under-appreciated gem. Well worth your time, if you want to see something different. |

She wore a yellow ribbon and Angel and the bad man hold a very special place in my heart. Not to say I didn't enjoy most of the Westerns already mentioned, including My name is Trinity, a fairly funny Western, but those particular two films I could watch every day. |
14Bore | 19 Sep 2015 6:46 p.m. PST |
The Cowboys, caught the ending today were the start picking off the rustlers. Magnificent Seven A few tv series, been catching Have gun will travel |
79thPA | 19 Sep 2015 6:53 p.m. PST |
I concur with the list in general. I was going to add "The Cowboys" but I see that it was recently listed. |
Dances with Clydesdales | 19 Sep 2015 7:19 p.m. PST |
The Searchers, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, Rooster Cogburn, McClintock, Broken Trail, etc… |
Shagnasty | 19 Sep 2015 7:26 p.m. PST |
Ford' cavalry trilogy: Fort Apache, Rio Grande and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon. Another underrated one is Will Penny. |

No love for Tombstone? I'll be your huckleberry. Yes, a more recent film but classically rip roaring. |
Early morning writer | 19 Sep 2015 7:47 p.m. PST |
Chisum for Drama and The Hallelujah Trail for lighter fare. And Paint Your Wagon when in a musical frame of mind. And, yes, I like most of the above though there were a couple "Really?!" responses from me. As in, how can anyone pick that travesty as a favorite? They shall not be named, however. |

All three of the Man with no Name Westerns: A Fist Full of Dollars For A Few Dollars More The Good The Bad and the Ugly Others are: High Plains Drifter The Outlaw Jose Wells Under a Red Sun or sometimes just titled Red Sun (Cowboys, Outlaws, Indians and a Samurai what is not to like) True Grit (Both Versions) Another vote for John Ford's Stagecoach The Searchers She Wore a Yellow Ribbon Unforgiven Jerimaih Johnson and there so many more… |
Major Mike | 19 Sep 2015 8:03 p.m. PST |
North to Alaska Will Penny (with Charlton Heston, not Tom Selleck) McClintock |

All of the above, plus Cat Ballou! |
War In 15MM | 19 Sep 2015 8:50 p.m. PST |
The Searchers (probably one of the best movies of any kind ever made) Ford's Cavalry Trilogy (She Wore A Yellow Ribbon, Rio Grande & Ft. Apache) My Darling Clementine 3 Godfathers The Ox-Box Incident Wagon Master Red River Shane High Noon The Wonderful Country The Wild Bunch Will Penny with Heston and Open Range may not be classics but very good |

Looks like I have many excellent movies to watch! Great list! |
mmitchell | 25 Sep 2015 11:21 a.m. PST |
Most of my favorites are listed above. Didn't see PALE RIDER up there. Hmmmm. Also, for sheer kicks, I like THE PHANTOM EMPIRE. Can't help myself! I just like it. |
mrkprkr | 02 Oct 2015 2:16 p.m. PST |
True Grit (with Wayne) El Dorado any western with Clint Eastwood in it. |
