I asked folks on Twitter and Facebook to list their favorite Westerns. Here’s what they said:
- I said Silverado and Tombstone. And a bit down the list for me would be Rio Bravo and My Darling Clementine.
- Wayles said Hang ‘Em High and The Outlaw Josey Wales
- Scott said A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Duck, You Sucker (aka A Fistful of Dynamite), Once Upon A Time In The West, Django Unchained, Hang ‘Em High
- Rotating Skull said A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and of course The Big Lebowski
- Jennifer said Serenity
- Mark said Blazing Saddles
- Matthew said Unforgiven
- Ben said The Proposition
- Dean said Blazing Saddles and Cowboys & Aliens
- Eric said Blazing Saddles
- Anna Ruth said The Magnificent Seven, Three Amigos, Hondo, The Sons of Katie Elder, The Big Country, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Rooster Cogburn (..and the Lady), True Grit (the old one)
- Jason said Terror in a Texas Town, and best Western soundtrack is an easy call: Duck, You Sucker (aka A Fistful of Dynamite)
- Mel said Tombstone
- Maria Christina said Dead Man
- Danny said Red Sun
- Chuck said 3:10 to Yuma (the original)
- Kent said Barbarosa
- Jere said Lonesome Dove
- Marian said LOVIN MOLLY

I’d have to go with “Unforgiven.” I still remember the feeling that lingered in the pit of my stomach for a long while after watching it.
