    1) The Man of the West - I like the concept of a peaceful man forced to get rough in the lawless Old West, and the realistic fall of the female lead is notable too.
    2) The Ox-Bow Incident - I have gone on and on about the bad messages in other Westerns, this one is the polar opposite. A short suspenseful bummer.
    3) High Plains Drifter - a demonic Western, truly one of a kind.
    4) Westworld - it sure takes its time getting to the suspense, but from there it is a fantastic ride.
    5) The Naked Spur - a cat and mouse psychological game with 2 great leads and a ton of scenery.
    6) Support Your Local Sheriff - a great send-up of the genre with Bruce Dern as a baddie. What more do you want?
    7) The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance - the Old West meets the New West, and Wayne is the perfect counterpoint to Stewart. Ford's definitive Western.
    8) The 7 Faces of Dr. Lao - I think this might count. I simply love this movie, even with its racial stereotypes and silly whatnot.
    9) Winchester 73 - the concept of a gun passing through hands is compelling, but lacks a main character. But yea for Duryea!!!!
    10) The Valley of Gwangi - Ray Harryhausen dinosaurs getting roped by cowboys, need I say more?

    Runner-ups include The Far Country, Destry Rides Again, The Magnificent Seven, Johnny Guitar, The Cowboys and one of the shorter Sergio Leone films.

    For a Western short, nothing is going to beat Drip-Along Daffy.

    Both of these movies are very good but I have to put in a word about the books.

    'The Ox Bow Incident' is even more disturbing than the movie in its unrelenting portrayal of the lynch mob.

    The book that ' The Seven Faces of Dr Lao' is based on is called 'The Circus of Dr Lao' and it is much stranger and eerier than the movie. The film has a lot of lightweight and somewhat silly scenes in it. The book is closer to a horror story while not being one. If that makes any sense.
