Unforgiven.

Tombstone. Not much of a western movie fan. Got The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly as a gift and watched half before I had to turn it off. No nostalgia + bad movie (in my opinion) = no fun.

Tombstone!

If you like westerns you should check out the tv series Deadwood.

I agree with any of the Sergio Leone "Man with no Name" Trilogy films but by far the best western ever is Leone's magnum opus "Once Upon A Time In the West". It's long but so freakin' epic it will blow your mind. When you find out at the end why Charles Bronson (who is a consummate badass in the film) has been wearing a harmonica around his neck the whole time: holy crap! Also, nice guy Henry Fonda is a complete sociopath in the movie, way against type.  
 
All you really need to know about the movie is this: In the first scene a trio of bad guys wait for Bronson to arrive by train. He is the only passenger who gets off and they face off across the tracks. Bronson asks if they brought a horse for him and they reply, "Nope, we only brought three and there's three of us" to which Bronson replies "You brought two too many"  before commencing with the lead poisoning!  Ohhh..seriously it's so epic, as big as the west it depicts. Leone and his musical partner Morricone are incredible.  
 
Although Tombstone and Silverado are also awesome.

Beat me to it. "

Clint Eastwood films only for me... 
 
 
Unforgiven  is still probably the most true to reality ever done 
but for pure western fashion fun:
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is near perfect 
High Plains Drifter is fucking BADASS

Unforgiven is the best western ever made. Eastwood is one bad mother-fucker in the last 10 minutes of that movie(After he down's that bottle of whiskey). Plus I think it's Gene Hackman's best film too.

Only one I've EVER seen is Tombstone.

The Assassin of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is beautiful but can seem long if you get bored easily.  I just got to West Elizabeth in the game and it reminded me of some parts of the movie.

" @Daveyo520:  Frankly I love "Unforgiven." My boss/good friend made me watch a whole bunch of Westerns before I watched Unforgiven, but that was an amazing movie. If not that, I really liked High Plains Drifter because of how unique it was. Clint Eastwood>John Wayne. "

There's too many good looking people in Tombstone.

anything clint eastwood. not a huge western fan myself considering i had to grow up around that shit. but u cant deny clint owned some faces. 

Young Guns........discussion over.

Great movies mentioned for sure. Not the best one, but I really liked Bullet With No Name. Nothing incredibly cinematic but fun to watch still.

Once Upon a Time in the West and The Magnificent Seven.

Open Range. w/ Kevin Costner and Robert Duvall is a good one. Came out in 2003.

Anything by Sergio Leone. Once Upon A Time in the West is my particular favourite. It gives you everything you want from a western, and a whole lot more.

The Wild Bunch

This is not an opinion thread. There is a right and wrong answer, that correct answer is "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly."

Since the classics are covered I would suggest  3:10 to Yuma or the recently Screened reviewed The Good, The Bad, The Weird, yes it is Korean but its good.

I really liked Unforgiven though when you really look at it it's more of an anti-western movie.   The Good, the Bad, and The Ugly was a hell of a film and still stands tall as one of the best westerns of all time. As far my "personal" favorite i really liked Tombstone, especially since it's got Sam Elliot in it.  Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday is easily his best role and you can't deny how badass Kurt Russel is in that movie.

Unforgiven.
