My favorite western is "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly." Has to be the long uncut version.

Favorite comedy, Mad Mad Mad World, also the uncut version.
I saw them both when they were new and just hit the theaters. I only had enough $$ to see them once back then.

Nobody has mentioned Duck You Sucker (aka A Fistful Of Dynamite).
James Coburn. Directed by Sergio Leone, music by Ennio Morricone.

And James Garner had a pair of comedies, Support Your Local Sheriff,
and Support Your Local Gunfighter.

Why didn't you just pay with your phone?

?

It’s worth seeing, but I don’t think it would make anyone’s top 10 westerns list. (Unless they haven’t seen that many.).

How about The Treasure of the Sierra Madre?

True. Just figured that with A Fistful of Dollars (1964), For a Few Dollars More (1965), The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966), and Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) being iconic it would have at least rated a mention is all. There was even another after that, My Name Is Nobody (1973).

Has anybody else watched both versions of 3:10 To Yuma? Even though the new one was close to a faithful remake, I still liked the original better.

Hard to beat Glenn Ford!

As a boy, western series on TV were my equivalent of video game addiction today.

I suspect I rarely missed episodes of The Lone Ranger, Gunsmoke, The Rifleman, Bonanza, Zorro, Have Gun Will Travel (Paladin!), Wagon Train, and the best- Rawhide (..head 'em up, move em' out...).

To this day, if I get bit by a rattlesnake I know I need to use a filthy bandana as a tourniquet, cut a big X over the bite marks with the biggest knife in the county, and suck out the venom.

My high school job was a projectionist. I probably watched (OK, ran) Little Big Man a dozen times.. was a good movie. My work buddy and I were really excited when they hung the poster for Zachariah, "The First Electric Western"! How could any movie disappoint us when The James Gang was part of the soundtrack? Well.... that movie was so bad none of us begged the manager for that poster. Not a candidate for best western movie.

True Grit is a "local" favorite here, having been filmed in and around Ridgway in the Cimmarons. Beautiful scenery. I admit I own a copy on DVD and agree that "..fill your hands you sunny beach.." is a John Wayne classic moment.
