    Don't give me "Unforgiven" because it's not even in the same league.

                The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly
                Tombstone
                Unforgiven
                Dances With Wolves
                Rooster Cogburn
                She Wore A Yellow Ribbon

                In no particular order. Some had great performances, some great stories, and some where production values just blow the mind.

                              Loved Val Kilmer in Tombstone.
                              His tour de force.

                                No, but it was a damned good western. And Val Kilmer was unforgettable
                                as Doc Holday.

                                    unforgiven is the best of the modern westerns..... and dances with wolves was damn good as well....

                                    good bad and the ugly is awesome, as are a handful of john wayne movies from the sixties/early seventies..... rio bravo, big jake, the sons of katie elder, true grit, etc....

                                        to think that Hackman didn't want this role, turned it down several times, and had to be begged by eastwood to finally take it, amazes me....

                                        great role by a great actor.... very deserving of an oscar....

                                        my two fav scenes with Little Bill:

                                          Tombstone is my personal favorite..

                                          I also like "One eyed jacks" with Marlon Brando and Karl Malden.

                                                      Not a huge fan of westerns but my dad is:

                                                      The Wild Bunch probably my favorite to watch with him.

                                                      Searchers pretty damn good too.

                                                        Unforgiven
                                                        Dances With Wolves
                                                        Rooster Cogburn
                                                        She Wore A Yellow Ribbon
                                                        In no particular order. Some had great performances, some great stories, and some where production values just blow the mind.
                                                        I like your list.

                                                          Appaloosa I found very interesting. It's slow but scenery and acting subpurb.

                                                          Very underrated.

                                                          Last of the Mohicans as well, if considered a western.
