    In no order -

    - The Searchers
    - The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
    - Open Range
    - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
    - True Grit (new one)

    Big western fan. Ask me tomorrow, there'll probably be a couple of changes as so many good films

    How can you limit it to 5? Good to see bangers like Unforgiven, The Wild Bunch, The True Grit remake and Hostiles on lists so far. Of ones not listed already I'd say 3:10 to Yuma (the remake), Hell or High Water, Slow West, First Cow, and The Good The Bad The Weird are some brilliant revisionist Westerns. Got a soft spot for Seraphim Falls and Desperado as well.

    Hell or High Water was fantastic. "Boy, you'd think there were 10 of me"

    I haven't seen as many of the classics but the first that come to mind for me are No Country for Old Men, True Grit, 3:10 to Yuma, The Hateful Eight, Tombstone and an outlier as more of a neo Western like No Country but one of my favourites would be Brokeback Mountain.
  • GarrymanilowGarrymanilow
    Tombstone should make every list just for that Val Kilmer performance

    Some great choices.

    Dances with Wolves
    The Outlaw Josey Wales
    The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
    Jeremiah Johnson
    Unforgiven

    But, I could probably rustle another 5 of their equal (apart from top 2 which are favourites amongst any genre)

    Unforgiven 
    Tombstone
    Butch Cassidy
    The assassination of Jessie James

    Shane
    High Noon
    Unforgiven
    Once Upon a Time in the West
    The Wild Bunch

    But, like so many lists, it’s impossible to pick just five!
  • AddicksAddictAddicksAddict
    In no particular order:
    Shane, but the book is better
    The Searchers
    Rio Bravo (or the other one with essentially the same story, I can never remember which is which)
    The Alamo, the John Wayne one, even though the subtext is Better Dead than Red rather than Better Tex than Mex
    Blazing Saddles

    next five: the one with Elvis as half Native American, and four Clint spaghetti Westerns.
