Shane for the Win.
Honorable mention goes to Bone Tomahawk as the most fucked-up dark western ever. |

If you are going to post the best western film, and it stars John Wayne, it better be The Searchers Unforgiven is a pretty damned good, non John Wayne western. However, Once Upon A Time In The West is the best because it was written by three great filmmakers (Argento, Bertolucci and Leone) that inserted a ton of homages to the most noteworthy westerns in cinematic history. What a great entrance for Bronson https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/CVtIZDnbV6t4Fee8FD9_ITAitLuam3y2Yg1Aluskr-ACFoKn2DQiqX8Ke0eHED2avEdXL7k-7YbhpHKk2xtl4_94iKN7Yq9fBT_o52lUGmmZ9X-akvLNvJefoHdCCKf_HbwTHK0LNVvQKXC1xE5PvLQgHQxHPXiyAA6XxX3hO0On-1AaBiE Couple that with Morricone's score, complete with an experimental diegetic sound orchestration for the opening scene and awesome intertwining of each character's leitmotif at the showdown between Harmonica and Frank, it's incredible. Not to mention Henry Fucking Fonda as one bad motherfucker. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/w_zAWrGPk_DKDsOCfrCvrffvxhasbNxpShwLbZRzV8NEL74LuhUGj64lBDcF_GKJqOIcxY8K2Go01xMj2_0ydkNi97unNQHWswHqHNyKzM7qgb5aaXs6 Oh, I almost forgot Claudia Cardinale https://i.pinimg.com/236x/34/ed/4c/34ed4cc23fd659e93213574fdacdf905--claudia-cardinale-movie-characters.jpg Epic Fucking Movie. One of my all time favorites. I did a presentation on this flick in a high school film class. |

Once Upon a Time in the West is grossly overrated. It would have been far better if edited down to half the length. No, I'm not a Michael Bay fan with a short attention span.
The Searchers is also overrated. Jeffrey Hunter's acting was atrocious. Top Westerns: The Outlaw Josey Wales Unforgiven Open Range The Professionals (Like OUATITW, it has Claudia Cardinale, but with better acting and no over-long shots of the characters' eyes.) The Wild Bunch The Magnificent Seven Pale Rider Also, Clint Eastwood or Lee Marvin > John Wayne. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Definitely. Great ending. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: ‘Hostiles’ hasn’t been listed yet and is very well done for a modern western. Definitely. Great ending. I only watched it because it was in the Netflix movie thread. It’s a tragedy that it is such an unknown movie. The acting is top notch and whoever wrote the script was as balanced as you can be in modern Hollywood. It correctly portrays that both sides did ugly things. Unrelated, as another top western if it qualifies, was the TV series ‘Hell On Wheels’. |

Too many Hollywood clichés. Too much artificial, unnatural Hollywood lighting. I liked John Wayne, but James Caan was an untalented dick.

My favorite JW movie is McClintock.
Other favorite westerns are: Unfrogiven Outlaw Josey Wales The Good, The Bad and the Ugly Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid The Wild Bunch Tombstone The Quick and the Dead Open Range Lonesome Dove was a great mini series. HONORABLE MENTION: Ride The High Country -with Randolph Scott and Joel MCrea. It was Randolph Scott's last movie; he retired immediately there after and drove home to North Carolina. Joel McCrea only made a few more. |
