Alright guys, what are some of the greatest Western movies of all time?

I figure movies like Tombstone and McClintock will be listed over and over, so let's keep those out. What are some other favorites?

I love Tombstone! here are some of my favorites:

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
The Lonesome Dove series

Anything with John Wayne or Clint Eastwood.

The Unforgiven

I also like Glenn Ford movies.

'The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance'. Lee Marvin, Johh Wayne and Jimmy Stewart. And a killer theme song. And for you trivia buffs (well, Billy the Kid has had 60+ movies based on his life):

This and eighty-nine cents buys you the small coffee at any Waffle House .....................

During the Lincoln County, NM range wars, President Rutherford B Hayes appoints a Civil War hero named Wallace as territorial governor to stop corruption and the range war. Wallace is the one who promised a pardon to Billy The Kid in exchange for his testimony in a murder trial. Billy kept his part of the deal, but Governor Wallace not only ignored his part of the bargain, but when Billy broke out of jail, Wallace put a $500 bounty on his head and Pat Garrett set out to collect the reward. Ten days after posted the bounty notice, another event took place for Governor Wallace ............ his new book was published, 'Ben Hur'

The Outlaw Josie Wales is by far is my favorite, followed closely by John Wayne in Rooster Cogburn. I also like that John Wayne movie called The Cowboys when all those young kids go on that cattle drive.

My favorite would have to be Rio Bravo, and pretty much anything else with John Wayne in it.

"I killed him Will.... I killed him [sniff sniff]..... I ain't never killed a man.... I was tellin' stories before.... [sniff sniff]..... but.... I gues... I guess they had it comin'...."

"We all got it comin' kid"

It doesn't get any better than that.
