No wonder the list is Weirder than Wieder. The 10 experts…looks like they know very little about movies (read their bios)…being a history professor or a writer about culture isn’t the same as a movie critic, someone in the film industry, a film archivist or a diehard fan. Movies that definitely DON’T belong here:
1) Support Your Local Sheriff (how did that make the list??)
2) Quigley Down Under (Australia…and it is a good movie, but short of great)
3) Blood Simple
4) The Alamo (2004)
5) Last of the Mohicans (not a western)
6) El Mariachi (good but not a western, a modern Mexican thriller)
7) Add 3:10 to Yuma original…

Personally, although some say comedies don’t belong here, I think some do. Notably Blazing Saddles…and Cat Ballou, only because of Lee Marvin’s wonderful role.

The Shootist is one of the worst movies of all time and a truly lousy western.

How the heck POSSE made it on this list is still a mystery to me. I do commend you, though, for putting movies that would not be conventional westerns on the list like BLOOD SIMPLE and BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK.

My favorite and what I think is the most accurate is Steven Spilberg’s “Into the West”

I think that The Paleface, Blazing Saddles, and Cat Ballou are comidies not westerns.

“The Paleface”, “Blazing Saddles”, “Way Out West” and “McCabe and Mrs. Miller” should NOT be anywhere near the list.

Cat Ballou should be taken off the list and replaced with Silverado.
Thank You
