Anything with Lee Van Cleef in it..... 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. He's also a henchman in Liberty Valance and High Noon. (And a gambler in a pretty great Twilight Zone western episode with Lee Marvin.)

not sure how Once Upon a Time in the West didn't make that list.
I'll watch any western with Jimmy Stewart, Gary Cooper, Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, Henry Fonda or Randolph Scott.
Those are stop what you are doing, tolerate commercial westerns for me.
have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues, can you bend them guitar strings

If you don't need cattle in a movie for it to be a western, then how about Master and Commander. It's a story in the western....hemisphere?

Lee Van Cleef appeared in all kinds of westerns as a supporting actor. He was one of the bad guys in High Noon. With that look on his face he made a great bad guy.
And High Noon is not on my list of great westerns. I could not believe that the entire town would go chicken.

Incidentally, he was also in more than one episode of The Rifleman.

So you're not actually a Van Cleef fan?

And High Noon is not on my list of great westerns. I could not believe that the entire town would go chicken. Cooper's character made some big mistakes. When he was in the church, he should have told that fat guy to shut up, and shamed the men in the congregation into joining him, but he basically made zero effort to do so.

Never much liked Henry Fonda or any of his sorry kids. There were many great westerns and John Wayne was in most of them. Robert Duvall, Sam Elliott, Jimmy Stewart, Clint Eastwood, lee Van Cleef, Maureen O'Hara, James Garner and many more. Supporting actors make up a great part of any western because the main characters can't do it all. Jack Elam, John McIntire and his wife Jeanette Nolan, Walter Brennan, Harry Carey, Lee Marvin, Strother Martin, Paul Fix, Slim Pickens, Harry Morgan, Arthur Hunnicutt, Ward Bond, Dan Duryea, Ben Johnson to just scratch the surface.

who I can't watch in a Western is Audie Murphy. Nothing against the guy , I know he is a real American hero, but can't watch any of his movies.

I suppose you could call “ How The West Was Won” a Western. It’s more of a documentary but very good nevertheless.

Toombstone and 3:10 To Yuma. Pale Rider, Josey, Lonesome Dove.
Unfortunately our cable plays Toombstone 3-4x a week for some reason. It’s lost its shine for me now.
You only live once, but...if you do it right, once is enough.
