Your Top 3 westerns of all time?

Foolishly missed out My Darling Clementine, which should be in my top three. See what happens?

 

The Wild Bunch
The Searchers
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Two more that wouldn't be far behind:

Red River
Seven Men From Now

 

Unforgiven
The Outlaw Josey Wales
The Searchers

With The Good the Bad, and the Ugly a very close 4th

I also have a soft spot for Wyatt Earp, the Costner film.

 

1. The Outlaw Josey Wales

2. Unforgiven

3. Two Mules For Sister Sara

 

Both great westerns but, I think, that over familiarity has diminished them in the eyes of some folks.

 

I could pick 30!

Stagecoach
Yakima Canutt performed what I think was the greatest stunt in westerns.

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
Hallie: He never did finish that room
he started to build on, did he?
Link: No...
Well, you know all about that.

The Magnificent 7
"The old man was right. Only the farmers have won."

 

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Unforgiven
The Wild Bunch

 

Wild Bunch
Unforgiven
The Proposition

 

Johnny Guitar
Red River
Rio Bravo

 

Blazing Saddles
Lonely are the Brave
The Ballad of Cable Hogue

 

3 less over-played great westerns (I can't really pick my top 3 favorites):
Johnny Guitar
Ride The High Country
One Eyed Jacks

 

Shane
The Magnificent 7
The Searchers
The Wild Bunch
Rio Bravo
Ox Bow Incident

 

So do I. Way underrated.

 

Hmm..

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
The Proposition (so good)
The Wild Bunch

 

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
Once Upon A Time In the West
Unforgiven

 

El Dorado
Rio Bravo
The Undefeated
Open Range

And many more! Love westerns!

 

It's a tough one. Maybe we should have gone for the best three Westerns made after 2000 or the best three with Jimmy Stewart or the best three comedy Westerns. If I had to name my favourite twenty films, I'm sure at least five would be Westerns. I think there are an awful lot of good films that could be classified as such. A case in point: while not everyone's list is the same as mine, there are very few mentioned in the posts above that I don't like or that I wouldn't happily watch right now, knowing I would enjoy them on any number of levels. Then again, it's tough to name my three favourite anything(s). Except Marx Brothers.

 

The Good.
The Bad.
and The Ugly.

my 3.

 

Limiting to three is tough. The Searchers for sure, The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly on most days. A Man Called Horse.

 

Blondie
Angel Eyes
and Tuco

 

Stella Stevens!

 

High Noon
Outlaw Josey Wales
Buck And The Preacher

 

The Searchers
The Good, the Bad & The Ugly
The Wild Bunch

 

I totally forgot about that movie. I love that movie. Add that to my list of notable Westerns I enjoy.
