Top 10 Western Movies

[2LaneCruzer]

The subject "Top 10 Westerns of all Time" is one where it is entirely all personal opinion, and each person's opinion is just as good as another's. I thought I would start with my list (subject to change from day to day) and see what others thought. Here is my list, not necessarily in order of preference:

Top 10 Western Movies

1. Shane
2. The Shootist
3. Treasure of the Sierra Madre
4. The Proposition (Australian)
5. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
6. The Outlaw Josie Wales
7. The Unforgiven
8. The Ox Bow Incident
9. Jeremiah Johnson
10. Open Range

I might consider removing two of the op's selection (as great as they are) due to in my opinion belong to other genres: Treasure of Sierra Madre = Prospecting & Jeremiah Johnson = Mountain Men (add "The Mountain Men" w/ Charlton Heston to that list).

I would add in Broken Trail, High Noon, Stagecoach, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, The Searchers, True Grit (both versions) to name a few.

Can't believe no one has listed Red River, the original 1948 version not the remake.
