How underrated was Glen Campbell as an actor, right?

The Kid: “Shane! Come back! Mom’s got things for you to do!”

Shane: “A gun is a tool, Marian; no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.”

Shane: I've heard about you.
Jack Wilson: What have you heard, Shane?
Shane: I've heard that you're a low-down Yankee liar.
Jack Wilson: Prove it.

"Ride the High Country" is great.
"One Eyed Jacks" was directed by Brando, and famously filmed in Big Sur and Pebble Beach. Pekinpah worked on the screenplay. I like the film, but is it really a "Pekinpah movie"?

Wow...don't get me started.
Oh, well, ok.
John Fords Cavalry Trilogy: Fort Apache, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, Rio Grande.
Who Shot Liberty Valance
True Grit, even with Glen Campbell, but both are excellent. Jeff Bridges was amazing.
With a hat tip to Unforgiven, I think Open Range is the best Western we've had at all recently.
For a 21st century Western, I'll plonk down "To Hell or High Water". I like Taylor Sheridan, though being consumed by Yelowstone (which is, just, "ok") is limiting him.
I have never made it through "Once Upon a Time in the West". As renown as they were, I was never a huge fan of the Eastwood spaghetti westerns.
And, of course, the movie so good, they made it twice: Rio Bravo and El Dorado (I prefer El Dorado).

Haven’t seen this since I was a yard-ape. A remake of Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai in a western genre, which Hollywood remade again 
When you here the theme song, do you wanna barge through saloon doors, slam two bits down down on the bar, order a whiskey and then punch out someone’s lights?
The cast!
Yul
McQueen
Chuck Bronson
Eli Wallach
James Coburn
Robert Vaughn

I liked True Grit with Jeff Bridges and was also a fan of 1899.

Richard Boone, about to shoot: "What do you suppose Hell is going to look like?"
Paul Newman: "We all have to die some time."

Yeah, Kevin Costner was great in it as Wyatt Earp.
What, he was in a different movie? Couldn't tell...
This one. And this is a damn good movie.

Glad that Dan came back to post up The Magnificent Seven. I was starting to get aggravated as I read into page 2 and no one had listed that one of the greatest all time.
I would add:
John Wayne's The Shootist. Perhaps there is additional sentimentality for me, because while Wayne is playing a Gunslinger on his way out as the way of the west is dying, so too is the undisputed King of the Westerns dying of cancer as he is shooting this, his final picture. Kind of makes it The Crow of Westerns, with life becoming Art and Art becoming Life.
3:10 to Yuma (2007 remake) It is funny that 2 foreign guys played one of the best duos ever portrayed in a Western, but as they are both Oscar winning widely celebrated performers, one cannot be surprised.
Sergiuo Leone's Trilogy A Fistful of Dollars (1964), For a Few Dollars More (1965), and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (1966) Leone's Spaghetti Westerns brought a new modern Silver age to the classic American Western and proved that the death of the Golden Age could in fact be resurrected with more modern, gritty storytelling and also established the NEW King of Western tough guys as John Wayne's career was winding down, Clint Eastwood.
