Greatest Western Movies Ever Made

[LR46]

Numero Uno - One Upon a Time in the West . . . now playing on TCM.

Henry Fonda (bad)
Jason Robards (perfect)
Charles Bronson (at his best)
Claudia Cardinale (humina humina)

Sergio Leone (Director)

The story line (plots and sub plots), the dusty authentic scenery, Sweetwater and the music . . . none better and oh yes the harmonica!!!!!
______________________________

PS - for all you ghey caballeros . . . "Broken Backius Mountanius" is not a western.

Powerful beginning and heroic ending with greatness in between.

Fail. The best Western movie ever made is The Searchers. Maybe the best American movie ever made, if not for Casablanca, which is just the best movie period.

My favorites in no particular order.....

Rio Bravo
The Searchers
Lonesome Dove
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
High Noon
Shane
The Outlaw Josey Wales
High Plains Drifter
El Dorado
Unforgiven
The Fastest Gun Alive
The Sacketts
Big Jake
True Grit
Dances With Wolves
Winchester '73
Tombstone

I have to agree with some of the others, The Searchers gets my vote as the best of all time.
