I'm a huge Nicholson fan, and so I like Missouri Breaks. It has some great scenes, but also is pretty terrible at times.

I forgot one.
4. Jeremiah Johnson
Adding to my top 10, but not dropping any.

Is that 4a or 4b?

I should have said, my bad. It's 4a. Also, at 6a is The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. Pretty damn good top 10 if I do say so myself.

Tombstone is of course great. Definitely one of the GOATS.

The good the bad and the ugly - I mean, hard to beat that one. The other spaghetti westerns with Eastwood are also excellent.

Silverado (80's) is really good.

Unforgiven of course

3:10 to Yuma was very good.

Django is great - hard to not watch it if it is on.

Eastwood has so many 70's era great westerns, it's hard to remember them all. High Plains Drifter. The Outlaw Josey Wales. And a bunch more.

I know I am forgetting some that deserve a mention here.

EDIT: Young Guns needs a mention. Also Paint Your Wagon with Clint and Lee Marvin is excellent. Can't beat the song they play when the movie ends.

Silverado will always be my favorite

Are there any Man from Snowy River/Return to Snowy River fans here?

There's a good reason why.

There's a good reason why.

Look, Will Smith being able to follow up Big Willie Style and Gettin Jiggy With It was a near impossible task, but the wiki wiki Wild Wild West was a timeless piece of 90s artistry that musicians and actors will forever be measured against.
