Starting to delve into this genre of movie making. Been mostly watching 90's stuff but starting to make my way back through the catalog.

Favs so far:

Tombstone
the Quick and the Dead
Unforgiven


More Recent:

True Grit (remake)
3:10 to Yuma
Deadwood (tv)

Recommend me the best John Wayne and Clint Eastwood flicks.

I watched the True Grit original the other night. It was good, but I was fucked up at the time. Maybe it wasn't good.

is Back to the Future III considered a western?

apreeshed. if you dont have the channel, get encore westerns. they play classics all day.

i can't get into westerns at all...

i do actually. been watching that an AMC alot lately. wish both had movies on demand.

Firefly.

High Plains Drifter
Django
Unforgiven

Have not seen True Grit yet.
Firefly rules. One of the greatest Sci Fi shows ever with heavy Western influence.

Needs moar spaghetti.

Frealz

Star wars


but seriously, the whole poncho man trilogy with a fistful of dollars at the top

I like the spaghetti westerns the best, filmed in spain with american actors by Italian directors.

I really want to see seraphim falls though, a fairly new one staring pierce brosnan.

Django Suriyaki was pretty good, a japanese remake of django by the same director who did ichi the killer.

I've barely scratched the surface of US Westerns, but some that I've seen that rule are:

The Wild Bunch (S. Peckinpah)
Rio Bravo (H. Hawks)
Winchester '73 (A. Mann)
3:10 To Yuma (1957) (D. Daves)
Two Mules For Sister Sara (D. Siegel)

I've seen dozens and dozens of Spaghetti Westerns though, some of my faves:

Django (S. Corbucci)
Once Upon A Time In The West (S. Leone)
The Great Silence (S. Corbucci)
Django Kill... If You Live Shoot! (G. Questi)
A Bullet For The General (D. Damiani)
For A Few Dollars More (S. Leone)
Death Rides A Horse (G. Petroni)
Keoma (E.G. Castellari)
A Fistful Of Dollars (S. Leone)
The Strangers Gundown (aka Django The Bastard) (S. Garrone)
Cut-Throats Nine (Paella rather than Spaghetti, but close enough) (J.L.R. Marchent)
The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly (S. Leone)
The Mercenary (S. Corbucci)
Massacre Time (L. Fulci)
The Price Of Power (T. Valerii)
Navajo Joe (S. Corbucci)
The Forgotten Pistolero (F. Baldi)
The Big Gundown (S. Sollima)
The Hellbenders (S. Corbucci)
Companeros (S. Corbucci)

I am with Alex Cox; Sergio Corbucci was easily as important a filmmaker as Sergio Leone, he just had a stream of shitty luck in getting some of his real masterpieces distributed.

Eastwood:
A fistful of Dollars (a western remake of Akira Kurosawa's "Yojimbo" also highly recommended)
For A few Dollars More
The Good the Bad and the Ugly
Outlaw Josey Wales
High Plains Drifter (the absolute best)
Pale Rider

others:
Once Upon a Time in the West (Charles Bronson, story by Dario Argento)
Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (Bob Dylan co-starred and composed the score)

I don't have a lot to contribute other than what's already been mentioned, but I also like Young Guns (Estevez, Sheen, Sutherland, etc).

I have a lot of Westerns to watch now thanks to this thread.

High Plains Drifter & Pale Rider: backed.

Yup... also...

Hang Em High
Unforgiven

both essential.

edit: you've already seen Unforgiven. Last scene in that is one of the best ever.
