Popularity is not the best measure of a great western. It is a poor metric which requires no contribution containing insight or understanding on your part and so what is the point of your channel? I could get this lineup of westerns from people in an elevator or lobby. Here is a more esoteric list in no particular order: Joe Kidd, Jeremiah Johnson, Ulzana’s Raid, The Tall T, Ride Lonesome, Buster Scruggs, Open Range, Rio Bravo, McLintock, Tombstone. The spaghetti western should be a separate category. Westerns are an American genre. Although I enjoy the Good, the Bad and the Ugly, some of the soundtrack could gag a maggot and the distortion of history and the horrible dialogue is the exact opposite of the clean, direct beauty of Ride Lonesome. I don’t like the portrayal of Indians in Ride Lonesome but the movie is otherwise perfect.

Good list. I don't feel Sierra Madre is a western in the traditional sense, so I would probably include The Magnificent Seven instead. Also, I'm sure many feel The Searchers belongs on there (but I don't necessarily agree). Overall I agree with your list, especially #1 and 2.

Oh ... MAN IN THE WILDERNESS ... one of the most underrated westerns. Along with THE LAST HUNT, WESTWARD THE WOMEN, YELLOW SKY and THE UNFORGIVEN.

A terrific list of Westerns for sure…….The Good, The Bad and The Ugly gets my vote. In more recent times Open Range with Kevin Costner and Robert Duvall has become one of my major favourites.

I would rate The Searchers and Tombstone ahead of Django Unchained and even Unforgiven. I'd also include Silverado and The Professionals ahead of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, which isn't a Western in the truest sense.

My favorite Western, and favorite overall movie, is The Wild Bunch!

Great list!!! Love them all!!! And love the western genre!!! However, Outlaw Josey Wales needs to be in here also!!! And even perhaps High Plains Drifter. (For just its uniqueness)

1. The Outlaw Josie Wales 2. Tombstone 3. Open Range 4. True Grit (John Wayne) 5. The Man Who shot Liberty Valence 6. High Plains Drifter 7. Unforgiven 8. The Searchers 9. Rio Bravo 10. Pale Rider

Dances w Wolves feels beautifully derivative of a 'wagon train' episode: 'woman who walks with wolves' ("the Ruth Marshall story")... actually fell asleep watching it as a kid; but to anyone else w similar recollection, I strongly suggest a revisit(!)

Great Job!!! Excellent Effort. Thanks

This list isn't so bad as far as top 10 lists go. The Unforgiven is probably the only modern western that deserves to be on there. The problem with IMDB is that any recent movies (that came out in the internet age) get rated relatively better than older movies.

The good, the bad and the ugly is a pleasant movie, nothing else. It is not even in the same league as Once upon a time in the west, which is not only the greatest western film but the best film ever made.

Good list, but simply switch #1 and #2 and there you have it. Once Upon a Time in the West is an amazing film, for me, #1. And a lot of people have never seen it.

Young Guns is entertaining but also silly. It's the 1980s MTV version of a Western.

If he found room for Treasure of the Sierra Madre (not truly a western) he could have found room for Shane. It's got some corny parts by today's standard but the story holds up well and Jack Palance is still the best bad guy ever. Once upon a Time in the West is a good film, but hardly different than Leone's others. The Searchers is different and Wayne plays a dark character unlike his usual.

How the hell did The Searchers not even make this list?

Shane and the outlaw Josey Wales must have been very close to being on the list.

Extremely disturbing that nobody mentioned The Big Country from 1958, I believe is the greatest Western Motion picture of all time!!!!!

Fantastic list. I probably would have slid "True Grit" into the list somewhere but choices, choices. Great stuff kid.

Tombstone should be here. It's forever quotable, and hits so many classic western notes. An honorable mention , for me, goes to 1969's True Grit, if for nothing else the final scene where John Wayne takes on four outlaws in a horseback gunfight.
