Five Best Westerns

[ketelone]

I know similar topics have appeared. I would like to narrow 'the best' to a specific genre. My best 5 westerns are: Open Range, Silverado, Big Country, The Shootist, and The Horse Soldiers. Runners up: Red River, Fort Apache, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, Shane, Outlaw Josie Wales, Dances with Wolves, Pale Rider, Wild Bunch.

Also Searchers, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence.

[Axis Nightmare]

I'm with you on some of those. However, "The Magnificent Seven" is my number one but didn't make your list.

There are so many, I can't disagree.

These type of 'surveys' are always difficult. As I keep reading people's responses I readily admit there are so many great westerns and movies in general....
