    Most any of the Jimmy Stewart westerns. The favorite would probably be The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.

    1. The Shootist
    2. High Noon

    I watched "Open Range" recently. For a western, I thought it was pretty good. Kind of corny in spots, but, worth watching.

    There was a made for TV movie that was on last year called "Purgatory". Not one of the 'great ones'as far as movies go, but an interesting concept, none the less. Anyone seen it?

    Anything with John Wayne,Jimmy Stewart,Gary Cooper,or Clint Eastwood. If you like westerns you have to visit Old Tucson where they filmed alot of John Wayne movies. Real nice cowboy gun museum there too.

    The Wild Bunch
    The Professionals (glad to see this getting recognition)
    Once upon a Time in the West ("you brought 2 [horses] too many")
    The Searchers
    A Fistful of Dollars
    Texas across the River (Comedy -- hilarious -- Paul Linde as the
    Indian chief) ("Aroar...Har!")
    and, yes,
    The Magnificent 7, for sure...

    I don't know if you can really consider this one to be a "cowboy western", but "Man in the Wilderness", with Richard Harris, is one of my favorites.
