My dad is a big John Wayne fan, so I got to see a lot of his westerns growing up. Because of this, I have watched and enjoyed western movies and TV shows.

I enjoyed"Hannie Caulder" quite a lot (my gods, Raquel Welch was gorgeous) but the ending scene (possible spoilers) with the "Preacher" always kind of annoyed me. Outside of that it's a fun movie.

To be honest, the reason I watched the movie was because of Raquel Welch, but I did enjoy the movie.

I'm not really a fan of westerns, but she could change my mind.
If nobody minds, i'd like to recommend , what I think is a truly great western:
"Hour Of The Gun" (1967)
-James Garner, Jason Robards
While basically a sequel to "Gunfight At The O.K. Corral",
this film stands by itself as a well made action western. Anybody who only knows Garner through"Maverick" or "The Rockford Files" will be surprised to to see how he plays a major tough guy, in fact i'd say he was one bad mother fu (shut your mouth! ). All kidding aside, this is a terrific, action packed film. Jason Robards does a superb job playing Doc Holiday and the story and direction are first rate. If you've never seen this film, or it's been a while since you saw it, give yourself a treat and watch it. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I'm a big fan of many westerns .. including Bruce Willis in Last Man Standing ... 8)
Lee Van Cleef is right up there with Clint Eastwood and Yul Brynner in my book:

Another recommendation:
"Ride The High Country" (1962)
-Randolph Scott, Joel McCrea
Plot: IMDB
An ex-lawman is hired to transport gold from a mining community through dangerous territory. But what he doesn't realize is that his partner and old friend is plotting to double cross him.
Phantoms Review: One of the last great American made westerns. Beautifully directed by Sam Peckinpah. This is the first and only time that western heroes Scott and McCrea appeared together, in fact Scott retired after this film, because he felt he couldn't do any better and he wanted to go out on top.
Wonderful script, fine performances, and plenty of western action. This film is a true classic.

I'm a big fan of Randolph Scott .. loved his smooth calm voice in all his flicks.
(The whole Cary Grant thing casts an interesting light on his Oater image, though...)

Isn't this one often acclaimed as the best western ever?

Charles Bronson versus Henry Fonda! It doesn't get much better than that.
:)
I agree, Once Upon a Time in the West is an entertaining flick. :D
Speaking of Henry Fonda,
'The Ox-Bow Incident' (1943)
-Henry Fonda, Henry Morgan
Plot: when a posse catches up to three men suspected of killing a local farmer some of them become strongly divided on whether or not to lynch the men.
Phantoms Review: this film is a masterpiece plain and simple. it is light on Western action but heavy on characters an excellent acting. hauntingly beautifully in its black and white cinematography ,this is a very deep psychological drama that makes you think about what you would do in the same situation. A true American classic, that is not to be missed.

Todays recommendation are two film that have to be watched together. Now lets return to those thrilling dsys of yesteryear. ...
'The Lone Ranger' (1956)
&
'The Lone Ranger And The Lost City Of. Gold' (1958)
-Clayton Moore, Jay Silverheels
Two feature lenth films based on the classic TV series. Both films are good old fashioned western adventures.
Plenty of action, entertaining stories and you can easily tell the good guys from the bad (if only real life were that simple)
Now I had nothing against the recent Ranger film, it was ...ok, and it was a hell of a lot better than the early '80's film
but This is the one true Lone Ranger and Tonto for many of us old timers .

The big problem with the 1980's Lone Ranger, was they got an actor to play the Lone Ranger who couldn't act. the problem with the new Lone Ranger is they had a Lone Ranger who could act-like a complete doofis. And there was the added benefit of Johnny Depp reprising Jack Sparrow who was trying to hide from authorities by pretending to be a Native American.
You are absolutely correct Haunted Hearse. Klinton Spilsbury. (Legend Of The Lone Ranger 1981) had never acted before he landed the Ranger role, and the fact that he has vanished off the face of the earth since then, shows how bad he was. As for Arnie Hammer (Lone Ranger 2012) he was ok and he looked the part, but the attempts at humor fell mostly flat. It's a shame, had the director and screenwriter treated the characters more seriously and respectfully we might have a new classic to watch and a return of a great movie hero.
Outside of the obvious Wayne/Eastwood entries that run rampant in this thread already, I'll toss DEADWOOD into the pot. EXCEPTIONAL writing AND acting. Kicks a lot of the genre's films, old and new, right square in their arse.
Here's a couple that haven't been mentioned yet: Seraphim Falls with Pierce Brosnan and Liam Neeson, and Will Penny (one of Charlton Heston's best roles).
No Country For Old Men (modern western)
No Country awesome movie
I liked Pale Rider.
I like anything with Lee Van Cleef in it.
Lee Van Cleef was great. In addition to his films, I always enjoyed seeing him turn up on TV westerns like THE RIFLEMAN and HAVE GUN, WILL TRAVEL.
I was at Half Price Books the other day and happened across "Creepy Cowboys: Four Weird Westerns", DVD set. The four films are
: Tombstone Canyon, Vanishing Riders, Wild Horse Phantom and The Rawhide Terror. While I won't argue that these are the greatest Westerns they are fun in the manner they combine cowboys and the supernatural. As you probably guessed from my name, this is a subject near and dear to my heart! For the four bucks the set cost me I don't think I went wrong. The Vanishing Riders features skeleton wearing cowboys on skeleton wearing horses ( a photo from this film appeared on the Halloween Costumes thread elsewhere on this site)! How cool is that?

Legend has it on the set of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly the actors were having a contest to determine who could draw the fastest. Eastwood was reportedly very fast. But Van Cleef was faster.

I can second this. Love the series and The Lost City of Gold is particularly interesting as it gives Tonto a bigger role than normal. Really enjoy the classic Lone Ranger materials.
