Sorry about 20, but you can't really stop at ten. And Lonesome Dove was a TV mini-series, so it doesn't belong here. Sorry that Tombstone and Quigley didn't make it.

Uhhhh....Tombstone??? Dances with Wolves????
Your list sucks.
I probably hit more elk with a pickup than you have with a rifle. I have yet to see anyone claim Leupold has never had to fix an optic. I know I have sent a few back. 2 MK 6s, a VX-6, and 3 VX-111s.

I would put Unforgiven (Eastwood), The Magnificent Seven, and The Bravados ahead of a few on that list.

The Big Country belongs on any top Western list.

My list would have Tombstone near the top and also include Young Guns. Did you see the size of those Chickens?

And what about:
The Big Trail from 1930?
True Grit of 2010 doesn't reach to 1969-True Grit in my opinion.
And "Ox Bow Incident" is also one of my favors.
Total agreement with No. 13 (El Dorado/Rio Lobo)
Not really a western but highly recommended: Shepherd of the Hills

Tombstone definitely belongs. Also, Appaloosa (2008).

High Noon? I have to agree on those two. I've been a High Noon fan since I was a kid, and have seen it at least a half dozen times. John Wayne didn't like it. Said it was communist, somehow. I guess it was a real departure from the classic Western he was a fan of at the time.

Anyone else think The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance should be on that list?

The 2010 True Grit surpasses, and displaces from the list, the original, IMO.

Anyone else think The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance should be on that list? I've never liked that movie. I do think Shepherd of the Hills is a western. I don't think it's good enough to make the list. I think cases can be made for some of the others. I think True Grit in both its incarnations are about equal. I really think the second one is a bit better but have to move the John Wayne version ahead of it because it came out first. I like The Big Country, but don't feel like it should bump any of mine or Josey Wales. An argument could be made for a similar Peck vehicle, Duel in the Sun. Peck starred in some others that are close... Billy Two Hats, which at the time was called something else, and The Gunfighter. Also The Stalking Moon. I don't think The Bravados quite makes the grade, but it is a good western.

The Big Country belongs on any top Western list. It's my number one. Burl Ives as Rufus, unreal and Gregory Peck at his best and one of the all time great music themes. A couple of others of mine. The Comancheros and Gunfight at OK Corral and two more great themes. Red River, Alamo, Rio Bravo.
