Check out Anthony Mann westerns. The Man from Laramie, The Naked Spur, Winchester 73, Man of The West, and Bend of the River He’s made some more but these are the ones I’ve seen and I highly recomend


derfel_cadern

The Far Country and The Furies are two more really good Mann movies.


HipNek62

I would add The Tin Star to that list.


Many-Connection3309

I’d add River of No Return with Robert Mitchum & Marilyn Monroe


3GamesToLove

That is….not by Anthony Mann.

These have stood out to me so far(orher than the ones you have already mentioned): - The Gunfighter - The Wild Bunch - Keoma - If You Meet Sartana Pray For Your Death - Rio Bravo - 3:10 To Yuma (original and remake) - The Magnificent Seven (original and remake) - Quigley Down Under - Death Rides A Horse - The Great Silence - The Proposition (directed by John Hillcoat) - Hell or High Water - No Country for Old Men - Bone Tomahawk - Sabata - Day of Anger (I'm sure I'm forgetting some) My favorite western so far is: Once Upon A Time In The West. All the best to ya!

My Darling Clementine Silverado Red River The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford


derfel_cadern

My Darling Clementine is one of the best of all time.


belfast-tatt

You should watch Deadwood the hbo series and then the Deadwood movie


MrDoom126

Django, The Tall T and Barquero are some of my favorites. Also Lonesome Dove is the greatest mini series of all time.


Carbuncle2024

Shane.. ( Alan Ladd), 🐎 The Unforgiven ( Burt Lancaster), 🐎 Hombre ( Paul Newman), 🐎. Butch Cassidy & Sundance Kid ( Paul Newman), 🐎. Quigley Down Under (Tom Selleck)


Carbuncle2024

I forgot: Ride the High Country (Randolph Scott) 🐎


FlySure8568

Ride the High Country is a great film that would play particularly well after you've seen a lot of other classic westerns as that adds to the performances of Randolph Scott and Joel McCrea.


Many-Connection3309

……and John Wayne’s last Western - The Shootist 1976 has a bunch of old stars in it, like Lauren Bacall, James Stewart, Ron Howard, Richard Boone, Hugh O’Brian, Harry Morgan, etc


Technical_Ask_306

Any Randolph scott films👍🤠


RedLawAg21

The Cowboys. The Sacketts. The Shadow Riders. Hondo. One Eyed Jacks.


RedLawAg21

Oh and Rio Bravo


Many-Connection3309

Add High Noon


Ifigure10

In addition to the excellent movies mentioned, here’s a couple not usually mentioned in the Western vein: “Hidalgo” and “Wild Bill”


Fluffy_Fennel_2834

Once Upon a Time in the West


villianrules

The 3:10 To Yuma remake Once Upon A Time In The West The Roughriders


Astro_gamer_caver

Once you are caught up on the classics, try Hostiles from 2017. Great movie, great cast- with Wes Studi, Christian Bale, Rosamund Pike, Jesse Plemons, Ben Foster, and Timothee Chalamet, For a neo-western, Hell or High Water is a favorite of mine.


Masturbutcher

The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean, Jeremiah Johnson, True Grit 2010, The Homesman

StimmingMantis

The Great Silence, it’s an excellent Spaghetti Western


deadstrobes

Since Donald Sutherland just died, you should check out the film FORSAKEN, starring Donald & Kiefer Sutherland (and directed by the latter). It’s one of the most emotional & satisfying westerns ever!


Rare-Craft-920

That was great!


nhockon_cm

Great Silence.


jsled

This gets asked a bunch, including [recently](https://www.reddit.com/r/Westerns/comments/1dcutix/where_to_start_in_the_genre/). ----- A few years ago I cooked up [this syllabus](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1erzrsiBDx9iCw5OYFnRSM4x7XmcK6OBSHO7--5qnwqs/edit#gid=1316289771) for a r/westerngenrestudy thing that … never attracted any attention and I ultimately did not get very far in. But, I do think the ~52 films represent the recognized best of westerns, and that can be done in ~1 year of weekly film-watching. Plus there's plenty of additions in various sub-categories (space western, comedy, weird-west, international, &c.)


IntelligentRadio437

Two very good and underrated Westerns are The Appaloosa and One Eyed Jacks. Also check out Lawman and The Last Hard Men.


Spo-dee-O-dee

Along with the many stellar recomendations that have been proffered, *Fort Apache* is a must see.


pinkascii

The Terrence Howard flicks: They Call Me Trinity, Trinity is Still My Name, My Name is Nobody


truepip66

wagon master and the outlaw josey wales are two of my faves


salamanderJ

**Little Big Man** **High Noon** **Ulzana's Raid** **Three Godfathers** (1936 version, there's a better known 1948 version directed by John Ford and starring John Wayne, in color, but I prefer the much grittier, black and white 1936 version. There are other adaptations as well that you can find mentioned in the wikipedia article for the original novel.) **The Big Trail** (1930, primitive sound hampers this black and white epic somewhat. It was John Wayne's first starring role. Still worth watching in my opinion.)


MRunk13

High Noon with Gary Cooper, Monte Walsh, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, Rio Bravo, Undefeated, McClintock, True Grit Unforgiven


Gyrene85291

Lawman. The Professionals. Vera Cruz. Tell Them Valdez is Coming. Chato's Land. Duck, You Sucker. Both of the Monte Walsh movies. The Wild Bunch. Geronimo (1993). Lonesome Dove (mini series). ✌️


MANthangbeast

High noon is a tight 88ish mins. And it really holds up to its reputation.
