    I didn't see anyone mention Hombre.

    Also, The Missing was just released (July 2020) on blu-ray.

    27 films, (well 26 & 1 mini-series), in my 2nd least favorite film genre, that's surprising. My least favorite film genre is SF, of which I have 6 films.

    Well Posse certainly is.
    My western collection isn’t vast, I’d stick Glory in as a western myself.

    Several. Don't have my list handy....however one of my favorites is 'Once Upon a Time in the West'. I've never seen such a sinister part for Henry Fonda in any movie. Somewhat shocking when I first saw it as it just seemed so out of character seeing as how he usually portrays a very gentle, kind and likeable character.

    This is just a guess....what makes a good Western? To me it's an interesting plot and characters. The Western theme is really just the setting, but you can get those things in any setting. People tend to gravitate to what they can relate to, and in 2020 it's not easy to relate to the Wild West.

    I like Westerns, it's not really my favorite sub-genre, but I do think the setting brings something interesting to the mix. These movies do seem to all sort of go down in the same way though, leading up to a big showdown at the end. Maybe there is more variety to be discovered than what I've seen so far.

    I don't own these but saw them on Netflix:

    The Quick and the Dead
    The Hateful Eight
    The Ridiculous Six*

    *I know people like to rip on Sandler, but I thought this was a very well done spoof.

    A Man Called Horse.

    Watched that recently, maybe dvd print wasn’t very good .. remember it looked good on the big screen when it was in the cinema.

    The Indian ceremony of becoming a brave Richard Harris looks very grateful when he falls to the ground nipples torn . :D

    I watched all six seasons of Justified on FX & have them all on DVD. I almost included it in my list, as it does have an obvious Western feel, (& of course Leonard got his start writing Western novels & short stories, such as Hombre & 3:10 To Yuma, & kept a feel of those in his contemporarily set stories), but ultimately left it off, & not because of a lack of quality. I'm just a bit old school in that a Western has to take place in the "Old West" for me to place it in the genre.

    Justified is indeed great however, that's coming from someone that watched little/no TV of any kind.

    I would probably have around about 40 or 50 Westons in the collection. I love them.
    Always looking for ones that I have never seen.
    There was a recent thread about Lee Van Cleef, so I’ll do some research based on that.
    I don’t mind if the genre is mixed with comedy.

    Currently have a watch list of about 20 ready to go, including POSSE with Kirk Douglas (THE WAR WAGON with him and John Wayne is another favourite), TEXAS OVER THE RIVER, RIDE LONESOME, SEVEN MEN FROM NOW and COMES A HORSEMAN to name a few.

    I also like transplanted Westerns (such as John Wayne in BRANNIGAN) - by that I mean, the setting is urban, but there’s a good guy chasing a bad guy, guns are involved and cars replace horses.

    I’m thinking about buying TEXAS ADIOS so I can watch Franco Nero again - it’s been a while since I saw DJANGO.

    Yee-ha. Y’all watch the saloon doors, I’ll be walking through before sundown. It might be the last sundown some will ever see.

    I have a lot, but I don't really care to count all of them due to the ones in the Spaghetti Western sets.

    Forgot those two and seeing Long Riders on your list reminded me of The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid.

    I have a lot of Wayne on my list; not a great fan per se, but he's at his best directed by Ford (and Hawks). I did, however, miss out another good Wayne film, The Shootist. While I'm at it, I'm sure I also missed out that Bob Dylan fave, The Gunfighter.

    I don't mind it either...

    Western films with comedy that I've seen and enjoyed (or have seen and now own) are films like "Cat Ballou", "The Apple Dumpling Gang", "Support Your Local Sheriff", "Support Your Local Gunfighter", and "Over the Hill Gang".

    You know, I think I must have seen that film at some time, but if I did, I have no recollection of it... I have always meant to remedy that.
