One movie not mentioned so far is Heaven's Gate. I don't give a rat's what the critics and their followers said about it, I think it is a damned good movie. The cimetography is superb. The vision of the immigrants migrating west, and the paranoia and suspicion of the land barons was well portrayed. It captured and presented that point in American history very well.

One of my favourites.

It had its moments...and some good characters here and there...but I feel that it just wasn't paced right somehow...or it wasn't edited right. It was really weird in that respect. So I tend to agree pretty much with the critics. I must say that I always enjoy Christopher Walken, though, and I liked the part he played in that movie.

Pancho Villa, Viva Zapata, The Professionals and even Vera Cruz, while good movies all and not Westerns per se. Si? Same for The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

"3:10 to Yuma" had so many errors and impossibilities in it that I had a hard time staying in the story. Cliche and then some. Crow just filling out his resume'?

The Searchers, For a fistful of dollars, For a few dollars more, The good the bad and the ugly, They died with their boots on, this last picture was as close to the Custer legend as Bush`s take on the Iraq war.
I don`t like John Wayne but The Searchers was an exception, a classic western.
