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.

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

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....
