Most guys around the ‘fire love Westerns.
We’ve been down this road several times, I know, but just for the sake of argument, I’ll post this 11 minute video.

I don’t know who their critics are, but a couple of these aren’t even Westerns. I’ve seen all these but one, and several of their picks I won’t bother to watch again.
Thoughts?

Appaloosa was great. True Grit qualifies. Both versions. The Good, Bad, and Ugly is up there.

Yeah, in my view, a Western has to take place pre-1900.

What about Open Range?

Surprised they included The Rider on that list, on account of how it used actual South Dakota Rez residents that movie was almost a documentary.

The original “Monte Walsh” with Lee Marvin is one of the greats and of course “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance” is probably one of the best and least recognized.

That would be the three Eastwood Spaghetti Westerns.

Another good Spaghetti Western, despite not having either Eastwood or VanCleef was Once Upon A Time In The West.
