MCCABE AND MRS MILLER (c'mon, this wasn't on anyones list?)
EL DORADO -more realized then Rio Bravo -Mitchum's alcoholic sheriff is outstanding (deeper then Martin's) and Ricky Nelson couldn't act worth a bean. Mitchum and Caan's character (with his sawed-off shotgun) tip the scales quite a bit for Dorado.
ONCE UPON TIME IN THE WEST (Leones greatest Western and Morricones greatest soundtrack)
RED RIVER
ONE EYED JACKS
SHANE
THE BIG COUNTRY
THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE
THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY
...and any post Leone, Eastwood directed Western usually has too much rape, torture, whipping, sadism and gratuitous violence to be deemed as a "good movie" - in my opinion.
