The QUICK AND THE DEAD (HBO SAM elliott),JACKbull, The Sacketts,once upon a time in the west,Tom HORN…..The list is missing several great westerns …although I am glad to see ;;The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, the greatest western of all time in my opinion. The Missouri Breaks, with Jack Nicolson and Marlon Brando should also be considered for this list.

I’ve compiled a list of the 100 most critically-acclaimed Westerns (theatrical releases), as research for a book on Western movies. (See my site, thomasafoster.blogspot.com)

Of the top 50 on my list, 14 were missing from the mag’s top 100. Many of those were hybrids, such as 7 Brides for 7 Brothers, Hud, Glory, Giant, and Friendly Persuasion. Also missing were some already mentioned in above posts: She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, Northwest Passage, Drums Along the Mohawk, and The Grey Fox. The other MIA Westerns: The Mark of Zorro (1940, Tyrone Power) and 3 de-glamorized Westerns from the 1970s: Bite the Bullet, The Emigrants, and Bad Company.

I don’t know why Tombstone always makes these lists when Wyatt Earp that came out at the same time is so much better.

Several people mentioned it but Tom Horn should be on here.

Appaloosa had probably just come out when this post started but one of the most seeminly realistic westerns ever.

Lastly, if we stretch the definition of western to include Last of the Mohicans, one of my favorites of all time, than I would include Charles Bronson’s Death Hunt on the list.

Silverado should be a top 25.
Red River
She Wore A Yellow Ribbon
The Shadow Riders
McClintock

If Lonesome Dove was a movie it would make the list.

Blazzing Saddles a great movie, doesn’t belong on this list.

I agree with a number of the other people who made their comments.
Should have been on:
She Wore A Yellow Ribbon (1949) a real western
The Horse Soliders (1959)
John Wayn’s Version of the Alamo
The War Wagon Kirk Douglas and John Wayne
Northwest Mounted Police(1940) S.Dakota and Western Canada
The Early West of Our Country——–
Northwest Passage with Spenser Tracy Robert Young (Excellent
Drums Along The Mohawk w/ Henry Fonda
Lost Horizon (Lewis and Clark w/Charleton Heston Fred McMurray and Donna Reed Excellent movie)

Remove list
Support Your Local Sheriff comedy set in the west
Blazing Saddles great movie but not a western
Laruell & Hardy Out West funny not a true western
Maverick good James Garner Jodi Foster not a true western
.Shane I never care about the movie it was boring

The movie Bravados with Gregory Peck & Joan Collins might be a good addition to the list.
