    I watched 3:10 to Yuma again the other night for the second and it was quite good.

    Outlaw Josey Wells is excellent.

    Dunno about that, but 3:10 to Yuma (original)and most of Clints rock my boat

    Aye- GeeBee&Yoo has the slight edge over it………..Once Upon a Time in the West though stands out as the best scored film ever……..the final mexican standoff, where Henry Fonda shrugs off his jacket before facing up to Harmonica is the best scene in a western.

    Better is arguable, but if it’s recommendations you’re after then I’d say Bad Day at Black Rock.

    On a serious note, how about ‘A man Called Horse’

    The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is the greatest film ever made.

    Once Upon A Time… is fantastic though.

    good bad and the ugly is pretty awesome especially the grave yard scene turned up very loud just for the score

    the trouble with once upon a time is that the intro is sooooooo good (possibly best film intro ever) that the film itself doesnt quite recapture that brilliance !

    good the bad the ugly is also great
    searchers is very good
    my vote for best is no country or old men !

    though if we include tv series then it would be deadwood and with a rumoured deadwood movie being made to tie up the series properly we may have a new contender!

    Lots of great westerns mentioned and the new True Grit is good too, but to answer your original question – no, Once upon a time in the West is the best

    Deadwood movie you say? That’d be ace.

    Still got the last series waiting to be watched.

    A Fistful Of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More and The Good, The Bad & The Ugly really should be watched in that order

    But yeah, Once Upon A Time In The West is a very very good Western. One of *the* great film scores as well.

    Dunno if it counts as a Western, but I thought There Will Be Blood was a brilliant film. Same kind of era anyway.

    what’s that one where they portray that period of history as the genocide of the indigenous peoples of the americas..?

    It has to be The Good, The Bad & The Ugly “I’m innocent of anything!”

    The Treasure of The Sierre Madre is class, too – “We don’t need no stinking badges!”

    I agree with The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, that is an incredible film.

    Need to throw The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford in as well. The whole film is amazing, and the train hijack is one of the most amazing scenes, visually, that I’ve ever seen.

    Btw, Sofaking: Is that a reference to the Dangerdoom song of the same name?
