best westerns

How could "The Big Country" not be in the top 20 westerns ever. It's definetly in the top "5". And "Open Range" deserves to be up there too.
"Shane" is number one without question, the ones that all the others aspired to after that movie.

Rocca,

Out of curiosity, what's your Top 20 list? Do you feel like we missed anything else? We want to know!

I agree with Rocca my favorite western is The Big Country and couldn't believe it was not on the list. What a wonderfully written and directed western with an all star cast.

Why doesn't Hollywood make westerns any more? Is the American audience "over" the genre? I can think of a lot worse genres than westerns. I just saw Wanted last night, and I can safely say I am "over" mindless action.

I agree with Pat. How such an incredible movie can be overlooked is probably just because it doesn't get played too often and no one in the current generation even knows it exists
