I have not seen most of these but would disagree on the inclusion of HANG 'EM HIGH, a not so great film dragged down by the not very good at all Pat Hingle character. A better choice would be the much better and near classic THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY. I don't care for THE OUTLAW JOSEY WALES, but this is indeed thought by many to be an excellent film.
There is no way TOMBSTONE deserves to be in the top 10, let along the top 20. While this is not a terrible film, it has enough flaws to preclude it from serious consideration. Considering the long history of the western, surely there are more deserving candidates than this.

I think that today I wouldn't put either and would put THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN instead.
Never much liked THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY. Except for Eli Wallach and the great Morricone score, the movie isn't very good. I think HANG 'EM HIGH is a much better film and I don't think Hingle is bad at all. However, stupid me, when I made the list I forgot all about HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER, which is better than both of the other Eastwood oaters mentioned.
