I loved the Magnificent Seven until I realized it was a cheap cheap rip off of the Japanes movie The Seven Samarai.
And I suppose you hate "Apocalypse Now" because it was a cheap cheap rip off of Conrad's "Heart of Darkness", and you hate Duchamps' "L.H.O.O.Q." because it was a cheap cheap rip off of da vinci's "Mona Lisa", and you hate "West Side Story" because it was a cheap cheap rip off of "Romeo and Juliet", and you hate...
"The Seven Samurai" is three hours of black and white laundry tumbling in a dryer. zzzz-zzzz-zzzz
I may be mistaken, but I think Seven Samurai is itself a Kurosawa takeoff on Westerns. However, it was butchered for US release,cut down to a little over two hours. The original is over three hours, and a much better movie than the version usually seen here. Great characters, and tremendous action scenes. The Magnificent Seven is a great movie on its own, and a fitting tribute to the samurai movie genre.
Glad somebody mentioned Nevada Smith. Great story, and a tour de force for McQueen. Then there is One-Eyed Jacks, another great story, beautifully filmed (and the only movie Brando ever directed).
Then there are the movies of the John Ford "trilogy"; Fort Apache, She Wore A Yellow Ribbon, and Rio Grande. Another Ford western is a favorite of mine, Wagonmaster. It features most of the Ford crew of actors except the Duke, including Ben Johnson, Harrey Carey Jr., Ward Bond, Joanne Dru, and a young James Arness. There is a really funny scene where Carey Jr. asks Johnson to back him up, as he sticks a Peacemaker in his belt at his back. Johnson tells him to be careful he doesn't "blow your brains out". Was the basis for the tv series Wagon Train.
True Grit has always been a favorite. And so is Ride The High Country. And The Ox-Bow Incident. And My Darling Clementine. I'm sure I'm leaving some out.

Not commenting on the quality of Pale Rider, but it is a Shane re-make. I laugh every time I watch the scene where Preacher nails Lurch in the grapes.

I remember Red Sun. It was the second feature of a double bill in the movie houses for obvious reasons -- it was unconventional. A good movie. I like Bronson's films in his heyday from Death Wish to Mr. Majestik, and I left Sergio Leone off my favorite Western list only because I like them all and he had already been mentioned so often. The whole opening train station sequence of Once upon a Time in the West is classic dry Leone comedy. And Eastwood does everything well, though I'm not Hang'em High's biggest fan (director was Ted Post -- not quite another Leone...).
