Favorite scene from a western

We've done quotes. And there are some great ones, for sure.
But how about an entire scene? My favorite has to be the final duel in "The good the bad and the ugly". That scene plays out for around 9 minutes!!!! It starts with the greatest character of all time, Tuco, frantically digging in the sand and Eastwood's character chucking a shovel at him. The rest is cinematic genius.
How about you guys?

Two from Quigly Down Under. Gunfight with Marston. Then soon after when he is confronted by the British troops and the locals show up to wish him a nice trip home.
For pure giggles the arrival of the new sheriff to town in blazing saddles.and his subsequent kidnapping by himself . Honorable mention to the handcart in the quicksand .
MANY from "Blazing Saddles" but if I listed them I'd get POOFED🙄
"Don't risk the lives of two horses, you dummy! Send in a couple of *******!"
The jumping off the cliff into the river scene (I can't swim) from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
Opening gunfight in Once Upon a Time In the West. Harmonica, Charles Bronson, beats the three gunmen at the railway station. You can tell it is going to be a good movie when Jack Elam and Woody Strode get killed in the first 10 minutes. Bob
I always liked the gunfight scene in SHANE.
Nobody is my name, or one of the nobody movies, he is in a bar and pulls his pistol, put it back and slaps the other guy then pulls the pistol again, even if they sped the movie up he had to be fast to begin with, he does this 2-3 times in the scene........
The scene in Shane where Jack Palance and Alan Ladd face each other. Palance stares down Ladd and dismounts and mounts his horse nice and slow...and backs it up slowly. When Palance mounts his horse, the Director just reversed the film. Also any other scene in the movie with Jack Palance.

Yup 👍🏾
Here's mine 💓💓
"Independence Now, Independence Forever."
John Adams
I was so taken by the opening and the way Bronson counted horses that I had to watch the picture. Awesome. ------Ray
Chance telling Stumpy to "Stop that Cackling". Great scene e from Rio Lobo. That and El Dorado are similar movies/plots but still are two of my favorites. Jail scene fight - "Well I owe him one"
Wayne, Mitchum, Cann, Hunnicut - What's not to like. Bob
How about those several different early John Wayne movies in which each movie contains the exact same scene of a horse and rider (supposedly Wayne) jumping off a cliff into deep water.
I like the fight scene from the end of Open Range, where Kevin Costner fans about 18 shots out of his six-shooter. Ridiculous.....but still enjoyable.
Undoubtedly one of the best westerns ever made and probably the most authentic in every detail.
One of my favorite western scenes.......
As I've said before......no blood-n-guts......but you can "feel" it, right through the screen.🥴🤠
BTW........my favorite western all-time is "How The West Was Won"......the original movie. Just count the movie stars.
As always.......enjoy......
Many to choose from. The ones listed are great.
I Have to agree too many good ones to pick just one. A lot of good writers talent in the scripts and some are so set it would be hard to think of another actor doing the secens I truly enjoy a good western movie just a bit more than a good scary movie
for me It would be like picking a favorite kid out of your family
Wil add in A lot of good choices have been listed
A favorite western that I have always admired is "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence"
The "steak scene" is truly classic with such an all star cast!

Gene Pitney sang the theme song, "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" in that high falsetto voice. They played that song incessantly on the radio.
Never played it in the movie. I guess The Duke didn't like it.

I just saw you did post a link... Here it is again
"Independence Now, Independence Forever."
John Adams
I like the scene where the one guy does the thing that makes him look like a badass and the other guy like a dupe and there is a gun involved.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
From Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid........."Who ARE those guys?" 😁
Great movie by the way!
From the Unforgiven when Wiliam Munny (Clint Eastwood) walks in the saloon to kill Lil' Bill ( Gene Hackman).
Lee van Cleef and Strother Martin in the background. Doesn't get any better than that.
have seen that numerous times, never did care for it much......................
No one wants to hear about your weekend. 😁

If you want some scenes watch "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs ".https://youtu.be/g_XLQDeYqpE
Anyone ever seen the movie Tombstone?— That’s a joke. Where he says, “shut up Ike”.
