Three is not a realistic number
1. Lonesome Dove…The greatest epic western ever made.
2. Liberty Valance…John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Lee Marvin...’nuff said.
3. The Wild Bunch…The greatest western shoot out in cinematic history.
4. Valdez is Coming…Burt Lancaster takes on corruption in Mexico single handed.
5. Tom Horn…My favorite Steve McQueen western
6. Death Hunt…Charles Bronson, Lee Marvin, Angie Dickinson, and the location, the Yukon.
7. The Shootist…The Duke’s last and greatest western.
8. Rooster Cogburn…John Wayne and cinematography.
9. Tombstone…My favorite rendition of the Shoot out at the OK coral.
10. 100 Rifles…Raquel Welch
11. How The West Was Won…Second greatest western epic.
12. The Sacketts…One of many Ben Johnson westerns.
13. Shane…If you’ve never seen it, what are you waiting for?
14. The Desperadoes…The 1943 Glen Ford version
15. The Magnificent Seven…Adapted from Kurosawa’s The Seven Samurai.
In my opinion, the western is the best film style of all.
