From the landmark collaborations between John Ford and John Wayne to Clint Eastwood's masterpiece Unforgiven, the best Westerns don't just entertain, they also teach us a thing or two about honor and self-sufficiency... with great landscapes!
Click here to take a look at ten of the greatest ever. Then comment below if you have others to suggest.
New Moon's Jacob Black takes on the lupine stars of The Wolfman, The Howling, and more.
How do Roland Emmerich's two most recent annihilations of the Earth stack up against each other? Hint: He may have run out of ideas.
Ian McKellen's starred in some of the best American movies of the past twenty years. How many have you seen?
My favorite has to be 'For a Few Dollars More'. It has to go down as one of the best western movies of all time.
I can't believe that "The Magnificent Seven" did not make the top 10. But, my second all time favorite next to "Shane" is "One Eyed Jack" with Marlon Brando. Another great Brando western is "The "Appaloosa".
1.Good the Bad and the Ugly
2.The Outlaw Josey Wales

6.3:10 To Yuma
