What's your favorite?

There are some really good ones out there, but for me, I will always love Unforgiven.

I liked Tombstone best, and Open Range was good.

I haven't seen Open Range, but Tombstone rocks! Tombstone is the action film of westerns.

Kilmer is awesome in it.

Tough one to pin down but I'd probably vote The Outlaw Josey Wales.
I've lost count how many times I've watched it.

No western will ever, EVER top Young Guns. And Young Guns II ain't too shabby either.

That is an awesome film.

Actually, Unforgiven is a great film for me because of Clint's previous work. To me, Unforgiven is like the Dark Knight Returns. It shows you what happened to the Man With No Name, and it's just fantastic.

How about The Quick and the Dead? Directed by Sam Raimi, this is often overlooked, but I think it's a great approach to a western. OF course, if I had to pick a true favorite, it would have to be something like Once Upon a Time in the West or The Good The Bad and The Ugly.

I like the Quick and the Dead, but Sharon Stone brings it down a little from truly great status. Hackman, DiCaprio, Crowe were all great. Sharon Stone was just Sharon Stone.

C'mon!!!

heh, YG2 is a little cheesy, but as a huge fan of the first I throughly enjoyed seeing the characters revisted. Not to mention the badass Bon Jovi song Blaze of Glory on the soundtrack.
