There have been many but my favorite was the latest 'Tombstone." Val Kilmer played the best Doc Holiday ever and should have gotten a Oscar Nomination.

I will not debate you
Good choice, Lonny. Great movie, and I thought Kurt Russell was excellent as Wyatt Earp.
I still gravitate toward "The Outlaw Josey Wales" as the best Western ever. Clint Eastwood nailed the character he played, just nailed it. My other choice would be "True Grit" with John Wayne.
MOLON LABE!
Anytime I find a John Wayne western on I watch it, love when they have one right after another. Not great acting, but great movies.

My favorite is probably "The Searchers," a John Wayne movie. Close second, another John Wayne movie, "Stagecoach."
I wish there were more Westerns these days. I love that genre.

I agree BE on Wayne, great actor, but some of the supporting cast, not so much. But I lvoe his movies, stayed up all night a few months ago watching one after another.

I'm a huge John Wayne fan. A lot of his films were him giving the public what they wanted, that John Wayne character, but that doesn't mean he couldn't act. The Searchers is a great movie that shows off his acting, as does The Shootist. I also love The Quiet Man, great in that movie. The Man that Shot Liberty Valence is another classic.
Back to my fav westerns:
The Searchers
The Outlaw Josie Wales
Fistful of Dollars
True Grit (the original)
Rio Bravo & El Dorado (not a serious movie but a lot of fun)
Silverado
High Plains Drifter
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
The Magnificent Seven
The Wild bunch
Unforgiven
There are more, that's a good working list of mine. Huge fan of Westerns and sci-fi.

That was a good movie, I really enjoyed it but The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is a killer movie.
Meant to type it, just forgot. I never have warmed up to the ending, but otherwise one of the funniest movies ever.

It is one that if I have had a bad day, I can pop it in the DVD player and feel better almost immediately. In fact, just thinking about it makes me smile.
