Shane. Don't think it's the best western out there but my grandpa and I watched it several times when I was a kid so there's sentimental value.

The sound, when proper, was kind of groundbreaking.
Theaters would constantly adjust certain scenes because they didn't understand what the movie was trying to do.

That is a hard question
I fancy probably 40 westerns on a high level
I watch a couple a week and some are old, rough, forgotten.

So many sub genres, I could go on for days picking my "favorite"

That movie ^^^ kicks ass
Almost pushes out of the western timeline but I love it
Cast and characters are amazing
Unpolished gem

Hard to call a favorite so I’ll do top 5 in chrono order:
The Searchers
The Magnificent Seven (original)
The Professionals
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Unforgiven

This could easily be a really long list, since the majority of my all-time favorite movies are from this genre.

I also picked those up from my Pop, but over a decade after I picked up a L’Amour novel called La Jornada he left lying on the table by his chair after he finished it. I was 10 at the time. I still have it. First “adult” novel I ever read.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

Open Range is a real close second place though.

My favorite classic old timey western would be The Searchers.

And new age western would be Wind River.

Yeah I know it's just Rio Bravo again. But it's my favorite.

Sip on some bourbon, turn off your brain and just watch John Wayne, Robert Mitchum and a super young James Caan cook.

A comment on another thread reminded me of this movie that I never watched. Any good?

Honest assessment is that it's just a time killer. Not horrible exactly, just meh. It's like they couldn't ever figure out what the relationship was supposed to be which led to a pretty disjointed narrative.

There isn't a single scene that I can recall, and I watched it 6 days ago.
