Both good in their own way, not sure they belong on a greats list. I know some people absolutely love the remake

Loved them both
To this day it's still Tombstone but 3:10 to Yuma (both versions) and all of Clint's from the 60s to unforgiven are great. I even like some dumb comedy westerns like maverick and lesser known ones like the Cherokee kid or lightning jack, definitely not great but worth a watch for something different.
If you love The Duke, this is his true classic. I didn't get it as a kid, he wasn't even killing Indians or punching fools, wasn't even yelling at Dean Martin.. didn't make sense. This was a pretty mature movie and, imo, possibly his best work. He acting his ass off, not just being the stereotype that made him famous.

Well that explains it, it's 3:10 to yuma, I'd be surprised if I ever post on a western thread again
I’ll always love the original, despite the fact that they obviously didn’t think the audience would get the subtle humor of Portis’ novel and turned it into a broad comedy.
The remake is good, but I didn’t like the casting of Matt Damon as LaBoeuf or how the character was portrayed as kind of dull. Hailee Steinfeld was both cuter and more age appropriate for Mattie than Kim Darby in the original.
Rewatched the Good, the bad and the ugly last night, still holds up. Just a perfect soundtrack
