"Unforgiven" Is one of my favorites and "Open Range" too.
True, I also like John Wayne. But we need newer Westerns.

Conagher with Sam Elliot is also a favorite of mine.  My wife loves it, too.

We've abouut worn out our VHS copy of it.  I'd like to have it on DVD.

I really gotta agree with Trinty and Scattered Thumbs..more westerns need to be made!!!  I can't figure out what the problem is with the "Powers that be" film making wise...Are they so sure that the Western is a dead horse these days?  It can't be budget...I mean look at how much it cost to make "The Titanic" and other movies since...One problem I guess, is that there is not a western "star" coming up...Sam Elliot and Tom Selleck are both getting a bit old...(although that didn't stop The Duke") so who do we have coming up to replace them?  Anybody?

Coupl'a very excellent flicks left out of this discussion so far.  The Professionals and The Magnificent Seven.  What's wit yu folks any way?  Probably the best of them all is The Searchers w/John Wayne.

Gotta be Chisum! I also like Ben Johnson in anything. Best supporting western actor. After visiting Lincoln county NM you understand why they would fight for control of the county. Val Kilmer as Doc has got to be one of the best acting jobs any western ever saw. And finally Gene Hackmans arrogants in The Quick and the Deadwas also Great!

Toss up between Tombstone and Quigly as far as theatrical movies go. Made for TV would be Crossfire Trail..........Buck 8) ;)

My vote is for The Magnificent Seven.  It's my favorite movie, period.  Course anything with the Duke in it is worth mentioning.  Wish there was another star coming up to join those ranks and really put the western out front again.

Have to think awhile.  For comedic western, I like Blazing Saddles, & Silverado.  For more serious fare:  Quigly, The Unforgiven, The Sackets, Shadow Riders, Quick & Dead w/S. Elliot, Monty Walsh, The Cowboys, The Shootist, and others too numerous to list; or is it cause I can't remember the titles.....

Thanks a Bunch Trinity.
Always liked the book, and Sam Elliot would be great in the role.
Time to go watch Quigly and Crossfire Trail again...

The Searchers and The Cowboys.  Two westerns that were more real than most.
