I watched 3:10 to Yuma again the other night for the second and it was quite good.
Outlaw Josey Wells is excellent.
Blazing saddles....
😀
Unforgiven.
My Name is Nobody
Young guns 1 and 2 as well.
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 [i]scene[/i] in a western.
Better is arguable, but if it's recommendations you're after then I'd say [b]Bad Day at Black Rock[/b].

On a serious note, how about 'A man Called Horse'
Butch Cassidy and the Sun Dance Kid
High Plains Drifter
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is the greatest film ever made.
Once Upon A Time... is fantastic though.
Dances with Wolves
Fort Apache
High Noon
The Searchers
Not out yet, but looking pretty good:

that's all the westerns i've got so what's it going to be then?.
The Outlaw Josey Wales.
well it's my favourite anyway.
good bad and the ugly is pretty awesome especially the grave yard scene turned up very loud just for the score
thanks dude! i always find it difficult to choose 😀
A Fist Full of Trevellers' Cheques.
Thread closed.
Django.
right it's on then see you in a couple of hours 😀
My Name is Nobody
+1
And I want to watch it again now.
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!
The Wild Bunch
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.
Unforgiven.

A Fistful Of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More and The Good, The Bad & The Ugly really should be watched in that order
Destry rides again
deadwood is probably the best series to ever be on tv, such a crime it wasnt finished properly
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.
the searchers
unforgiven
stagecoach
el dorado
Hombre
The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada
True Grit
the magnificent seven or the seven samuri (japanese western?)
The wild bunch sam peckinpah
bad day at black rock
the man who shot liberty valance
Into the west (irish western?)
the good the bad amd the weird (not better but what a picture!)
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?

had to google danderdoom so no. its a reference to a short lived bike company in America that are now called grail bikes. sofaking bikes had such awesome paint jobs I used to drool over my keyboard 8)

I thought it was dull, dull, dull. Not enough story so lets make the film 60% long pans over (admittedly beautifully shot) scenery.
Once upon a time in the West is one of my favourite films. Empire magazine put it at no.14 in their list of top 500 greatest films which was the highest placing for a western. The next highest one was The Good, the Bad and the Ugly at 25.
This is IMDB's list:
http://www.imdb.com/chart/western
Not the best of all time obviously, but so watchable. Lee Marvin and Paul Newman. Pocket Money.
Not that I'm suggesting it's the best western of all time, but has anyone seen Open Range?
Bloody good film. Kevin Costner in awesome movie shocker!
