I only saw that print once in the 90s on AMC back when all that channel ever showed was old westerns with no commercials. I miss that. It was on again a few months back on TCM but it must have been the 35mm version cause it didn't look the same. I just remember the redwood trees looking so huge and detailed it really was something.

Get the Blu-ray; it's a sight to behold.

I've always found How The West Was Won to be kinda boring but the restoration they did on that movie is amazing. No more lines.

It's amazing how many movies would be better if they were silent films.

3. The Searchers
4. The Wild Bunch
5. True Grit (2010)

honorable mentions
6. Dances with Wolves (could this be considered a Western?)
7. No Country For Old Men (Wikipedia says "contemporary western"....eh)

lets not forget high plains drifter..

The Searchers
Ride the High Country
Red River
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
If The Misfits counts (it probably doesn't since it's set in (then) contemporary times) that is my fifth pick, otherwise I might go with The Violent Men. Probably not a great movie but one of those that I can turn on and watch anytime and enjoy it.

The Misfits is considered a modern western. But I agree that it is a bit difficult to place those movies in with the traditional westerns. Same goes for Australian Westerns, Sci-fi/Horror Westerns, Cartoon Westerns, Osterns (set in Russia).

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Never thought of The Misfits as a Western...great film though.
