And this is why I didn’t use “best” in my request for lists.
As to my favorite (or favourite) Westerns (among others and in no particular order):
High Noon
Magnificent Seven
Once Upon A Time In The West
The Shootist
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
Rio Bravo
Lawrence of Arabia.
(I think of Peter O'Toole riding that bike with the wind in his face every time I'm on my bike, I try not to think about the impending fatal wreck.)
Young Frankenstein.
Father Goose
Casablanca
The Thin Man
Have a good year everyone.

Now that you mention westerns I can't believe I forgot "The Outlaw Josey Wales", the best western ever made.
"Dying' ain't much of a living' boy".
W/R, I’d have said that honour belongs to “Unforgiven”, but it’s a while since I saw “The Outlaw Josey Wales’. Maybe I should watch it again.

I will grant you that Unforgiven is an excellent movie but I rate it as #3 western all time, closely behind The Man with no Name trilogy (I think of it as one long continuous movie).
My reason is that I feel Josey Wales and The Man with no Name movies are "original" westerns and feel more organically made whereas I view Unforgiven (filmed many years later) is more of homage to the earlier films - much like our CB is - and a couple of places it just seems like they are trying too hard.
friday I watched the original Magnifient Seven, yesterday the Outlaw Josey Wales, tonight The Bucket List ( great movie first time I've seen it) * didn't know you could ride a motorcycle across the Great Wall in China
Winter is close to coming to an end, but its never too late to watch a good movie
I'm watching "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" right now. Another one that should be on everyone's "must see" list
Been a while but you guys made me think of : Glen Ford in The Fastest Gun Alive....was one of my favorites as a kid. Probably can't even find it now
Last night I watched "World's Fastest Indian". What a great flic!! Now my favorite bike movie.
I really enjoyed that movie, Nemo. Probably my favorite bike movie as well.
