Greatest Western of All Time - Nominations

[John Cole]

At last, someone who has seen Westerns! Add, Once Upon a Time in the West, My Darling Clememtine, Stagecoach, Ride the High Country, Shane, Cheyenne Autumn, and Destry Rides Again. (Unforgiven does not crack the top ten.)

Best of all time: The Searchers

[B Dids]

So I just didn't a little search, and I was really surprised that nobody in this thread has mentioned Posse.

Savages.

If we have to pick only one film, I agree that the "Searchers" should be #1.

Ford and Peckinpah were powerhouse directors, no doubt about it.

"The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" is one of the few great American films that is not appreciated enough. It is true art.

Does "Last of the Mohicans" count?

If not I've got to throw in votes for Tombstone, Silverado, Unforgiven, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Just for a laugh - The Quick and the Dead.

Please let me know if any of these should be replaced with other, more worthy candidates, or if you feel that there are some that don't qualify as westerns. I think we're going to allow comedies, since there are some really good westerns that could be considered comedies.

Finally, since no one mentioned these yet how about the following three:

Geronimo (with Jason Patric and Matt Damon)
Wyatt Earp (with Kevin Costner)
The Beguiled (Eastwood in one of his most different roles of his career)
