Yeah, the 4K UK set is amazing.

The Great Silence is excellent. That and Hateful 8 were in a battle with Rio Bravo and Wild Bunch.

Thanks for that link. I should just buy the fucking thing. I’m a fan of Nick Cave and for whatever reason just never paid attention to a movie he wrote.

1. Unforgiven
2. The Magnificent Seven
3. Dances With Wolves
4. Once Upon A Time In The West
5. Django Unchained

Unforgiven
Open Range
Warlock (1959)
Tombstone

I'll have to think about the fifth.

1) The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
2) Unforgiven
3) A Fistful of Dollars

(I see a theme developing here, better swerve)

4) Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
5) Once Upon a Time in the West

Oh fuck, well... in chronological order:
.

1. Stagecoach (1939)
2. Red River (1948)
3. The Wild Bunch (1969)
4. The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976)
5. The Long Riders (1980)

Ask me again in five minutes.

Shane
Tombstone
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Dances with Wolves
The Searchers

There are ten within ten miles of me. I'm not sure I can pick just five of those.

Magnificent Seven
No Country
Blazing Saddles
The GBU
Hour of the Gun

I will admit I haven't seen The Searchers or Unforgiven, which might effect my picks.

OUATITW
Shane
The Wild Bunch
High Noon
TGTBATU

Far, far, far too few golden age westerns named in this thread.

1. Stagecoach (1939)
2. The Gunfighter (1950)
3. Man of the West (1958)
4. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966)
5. McCabe and Mrs. Miller (1971)

The Searchers
The Professionals
Once Upon A Time In The West
Will Penny
Barbarosa

The Wild Bunch
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
The Shootist
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Unforgiven

I'm don't count No Country for Old Men as a western. It takes place in the west, but so does Blood Simple.

In no particular order:

Unforgiven - Made all the better knowing it’s the capper to Eastwood’s Western career.

Tombstone - People might claim Wyatt Earp is the better of the two movies but I think time has shown this is the classic of the two. So many great lines.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly - Possibly the best Weatern of all time.

Open Range - IMO, the most “realistic” western ever. It just captures the feel of what I think the Wild West really was.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - With the exception of the annoyingly out-of-place “Raindrops keep Falling on my Head” sequence, this is top tier all the way.

Wait, do people actually claim this? I've always felt that Wyatt Earp was the superior and overlooked film, but thought I was completely alone in this view.

I’ve seen it a lot. Usually when the two are discussed side-by-side, Tombstone is written off as a goofy “action” western while Wyatt Earp is considered the superior film. I disagree. Tombstone holds up on repeat viewings. Wyatt Earp is an overlong slog. Although I’ll grant that it’s probably more historically accurate.

1) The Cheyenne Social Club
2) Unforgiven
3) True Grit
4) The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
5) Pale Rider

I think my top five have all been mentioned, so I'm breaking the rules and listing my top five not already mentioned:

Bad Day at Blackrock
The Naked Spur
Lonely Are the Brave
She Wore a Yellow Ribbon
The Tall T

I could see any of these sneaking into my proper top 5 depending on mood and circumstance.

Shame on me for not including Johnny Guitar.

Not going to number:
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
Searchers
For a Few Dollars More
Fistfull of Dollars
The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
and many many honorable mentions.
