great shout :)

8 No Country for Old Men (2007) 8.3/10 (177807 votes)


didnt think this was a western
great film thro

Never heard of the ox-bow incident and its got a high mark.
Made in the 1940s I see so I'll look out for that. Just about late enough to be good I woulda thought.

Surprised Pale Rider and High Plains Drifter by clint didn't make top 20.
Good ins they were.
And no place for once Upon a time in the West? :0

oops made no. 2 :D

lol

Rikki Lake made her acting debut in this one.

Top 2 pretty well clear. Goes to show, with westerns at least, a great soundtrack can really lift a film.

The top movies report uses a weighted rank




never herd of any of them must be rubbish

The Cowboys, another John Wayne film, should be in the top 20.

The Outlaw Josie Wales.

Might put some off, being in Welsh with English sub-titles.

Lonesome Dove.

Unforgiven by 100 country miles

agree ^^^

City Slickers ( with Billy Crystal)

What was the recent(ish) western with about FIVE sets of brothers in it. Quaids, Carradines etc. Excellent I thought!!

Got it. Long Riders (1980) - doesnt count!

unforgiven. would be a contender for my top 10 of any genre ever.

The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford was OK

Lonesome Dove a great shout - even if it wasn't a film.

silverado

I'm a bit surprised the Magnificent Seven didnt make the top 20.

^^^ The original was THE best western of all time

Yul Brynner = top actor

The Outlaw Josie Wales.

Now your talking.

blazing saddles a shocking ommission.

The Proposition (2006) is probably the best western of the past decade

Appaloosa (2008) also worth a mention
