I've watched "Dances with Wolves" more than any other movie. I love the scene while they're sitting by the fire, the old mule skinner (Timmons) stands up, takes a squatting position and lets a big fart directly at Kostner, and says "Write that in your book". I admit that's one unforgettable scene

No one mentioned "High Plains Drifter". Clint at his finest! Didn't mean to dismiss Clint.High Plains Drifter and The Outlaw Josey Wales are among my favorites.There's so many good westerns these just didn't get mentioned.By the way,I once read an interview with Eastwood where he said John Wayne gave him heck for High Plains Drifter.He didn't like the message the film sent.

Silverado and Quigley were excellent,for tv shows Big Valley and High Chapperal,really liked How the west was won with James Arness.Lonesome Dove was excellent. "How The West Was Won" was Jimmy Stewart. James Arness was Matt Dillon in Gunsmoke. Theres a diffrent series how the west was won with James Arness.Was just watching it a couple nights ago.

I'm going to have to keep on things,I got the first season off Amazon,the other seasons were in German.That was probably 10 years or so ago.Ill get the rest of the seasons if they offer them.Loved that show.Watched every episode when it was on in the mid to late '70's.

I wasn't a huge fan of the original Shane,the story seemed too hurried.I wish they'd do a remake of it,and stick as close as possible to the book. Alan Ladd was so cool! That was one of my favorites My first son in named Shane

The original True Grit. The standard from which all westerns are judged.
"I aim to kill you in one minute Ned, or see you hang in Fort Smith at Judge Parkers convenience, which will it be?" "I call that bold talk for a one eyed fat man" "Fill your hands you son of a b****! " THANK YOU! TRUE GRIT IS ABSOLUTELY THE FINEST WESTERN MOVIE! Any movie with John Wayne. Stagecoach The Man who shot Liberty Valance (Lee Marvin) The Cowboys The Searchers The Commancheros (Lee Marvin) The War Wagon (Kirk Douglas) Clint Eastwood’s movies are great too. Josey Wales was a staple for our son. He learned the important lines by about age 8.

I like all of the westerns mentioned here but I guess I’m kinda “old school westerns”. Most have probably never heard of Joel McCrea but to me his movie “Wichita” was a classic, one of my all time favorites and brings back great memories of watching them with family when I was a kid. Other actors like Randolf Scott, Audie Murphy, Clint Walker and Alan Ladd are some of my favorites too. I think Jack Elam and Claude Akins were in in most westerns ever created. Let’s not forget the ladies, I always thought Vera Miles was a great actress too. She was my Grandpa’s favorite in “Wichita”.
