Rooster Cogburn would probably be my favorite John Wayne western...

Dfergie,
I am using your list as a reference guide, thanks! One movie you listed strikes me well... Winchester '73! Very good selection!
But, you cannot include the "Three Amigos", that is not a western! Ha Ha, that is a comedy! Good night Lucky, Good night Dusty... Say Goodnight Ned... Goodnight Ned.
That is my favorite part, the tortoise saying goodnight.

Happy Trails to You!

Yes, I remember that, but not so well as I remember "The Shakiest Gun In The West" with Don Knotts! Both were hilarious, but I think I like Shakiest Gun best.
I need to put Son of Pale Face on my Netflix list, immediately though, gotta see that one again! Its been a long time.

Lonesome Dove, The Cowboys, The Outlaw Josie Wales, Quigley Down Under, War Wagon. So many good ones, it's just not possible for me to pick one as best.

A great western I don't see mentioned yet is "Winchester 73" with James Stewart.
One of the most realistic gunfight scenes ever staged in a western movie at the end.
And yes, it is possible for an expert to hit coins tossed in the air with a rifle. Herb Parsons, who was standing off-camera did the trick shooting for real in this movie. He was also technical advisor for the gunfight sequences.
Another one not yet mentioned is "My Darling Clementine" with Henry Fonda as Wyatt Earp and Walter Brennan as Old Man Clanton.
My favorite John Wayne western would have to be "Red River", where the Duke comes as close as he ever does to playing a bad guy.
For a western comedy, it's hard to beat "McClintock" with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara.

I don't think I have ever seen that one, but have heard of it. Supposed to be a good one. I am putting it on my NetFlix list.

Radar,
It's pretty good, but fictional, stars Tom Berenger of "Sniper" fame; def. worthwhile.

-You be William Money, killer of Women and Children
--Yeah, I'm William Money and I come here to git ya for what you done to Ned
LATER
-I don't to deserve to die like a dog like this
--Deserve's got nothin' to do with it........
(Nothing beats The Unforgiven for blunt violence in the name of what's good and right. The myth lives on!):lick

Hey dfergie,
Do you remember the movie I mentiond just above? I just reviewed it for the first time in years. Ole Yul Brynner is the nasty gunfighter gone bezerk! It is a Micheal Crichton film from the early or mid '70s. It's worth the time for a late night thriller movie. A little old style, but still ok.

I am going through my archives and transferring all my old movies to my AZBox HDD. Just happened to run into this one, WESTWORLD. I enjoyed it afer not seeing it for years.

Speaking of westerns, does anyone remember the short-lived TV series "Overland Trail"? I picked up about half of the episodes that were ever produced on E-Bay in the 16mm film format. These are probably syndication prints. They are very hard to find, and the prints are in good shape. I'm looking forward to screening them...
I vaguley remember the series, I think they showed it on Sunday afternoons back before football took over weekend tv. A screening in real film would be great! What time does it start and do you serve popcorn!
Of the spaghetti westerns mentioned in here, missing is the little known but best of all. A Fistful of Dynamite.
Clint Eastwood didn't want the part, went to James Coburn. This is another one of those movies with strange music and long stares from everybody, and not much dialog, becoming a form of art today.
