Lonesome Dove is obviously the best TV Western of all time.

Movies, though...

Unforgiven
Tombstone
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

Crap Westerns:
Posse
Bad Girls
American Outlaws

Creepiest and Sickest Western of All Time: Once Upon a Time in the West

A great movie, but whoever thought that up was deeply disturbed.

Oh, that's a classic.

Sergio Leone, I believe.

Yes. That movie gives me the creeps more than any horror movie could.

I had to look it up to make sure that I hadn't seen it. No, I've never seen that movie.

Tombstone "re-invented the genre" and is the only western anyone needs to ever see, henceforth in perpetuity throughout the cosmos.

Oy.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Two Mules for Sister Sara

Shane

Hang 'Em High

Stagecoach

Cheyenne Autumn

The Horse Soldiers

Fort Apache

For a Few Dollars More

You bunch of heathen.

Strategy is theology with the hope removed.

Surprise happens in the mind of the commander.

The U.S. Military: Making the world safe for Democrats since 1945.

Somebody here doesn't like John Wayne. Even though The Searchers is a great film.

LOL nope not a John Wayne fan but it isn't for that reason that I like the movie. I just loved the whole story.

I love John Wayne.

But The Searchers is crap. Give me Stagecoach any day of the week.

But how would one know that it re-invented the genre if they don't watch the movies that came before and after it?
