Holy shit, 82 points over Unforgiven? Didn't think it would be that unanimous. But I certainly can't complain.

Well because of this, I popped on The Proposition on my Prime account.
Might follow it up with Bone Tomahawk.

Excellent presentation, Viced.
But come on, guys: Quentin Tarantino isn't required for a list like this.

Couldn't think of a more perfect top 3. All three are masterpieces in their own right. Tg, TB & TU is my favorite, it works on every level from acting to direction to music to and so on. It's an amazing film. "When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk."

Great presentation. Everyone do yourself a favor and watch the Mann/Fonda western The Tin Star. Oh and everyone should give Viced some kudos.  I said give it to him. |

Also excellent presentation Viced. Can't disagree with a single film on the list. It was done perfectly.

Thx for your brave and patient commitment to this poll here Viced you son-of-a- gun. You sure did spur a lot of attention to a genre that deserves it. Alright that's enough horsin' around. Someone get this man a tankard of his favorite beverage. |

Thanks for doing this Viced, fun list! Glad The Great Silence made it so high.
Leone deserves the love, although for me his greatest film by a distance isn't a western, it's Once Upon a Time in America.

Pretty sure this was my top three, although I had Unforgiven #1 and GBU #2. I believe I had Ox Bow Incident #4 which may have played a part in it being so high.
Surprised High Noon wasn't at least in the top ten.

Thanks for putting the list together Viced! Lots of good stuff.
The Revenant appearing on any list that is not "The Worst Films of the 21st Century" is frankly awful though.

I still maintain that, "Say goodbye to my wife... I'll say hello to yours" is one of my all-time favorite lines in any film.

Missed the presentation again. Anyway some thoughts -I didn't know James Stewart starred in this many westerns. -Glad 3:10 Yuma (20007) made it high. -Red River should've been a bit higher -The Hateful Eight is a bit high on the list. -Wish Stagecoach made into the top 20 -Butch Cassidy is too low  -Glad Liberty Valance made into top 10. I wouldn't mind it even higher. -Jesse James is too high -The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Should've topped the list  -The General didn't make it? is it not a western? Overall a pretty good poll. Thanks Viced for doing this. |

Great job, Viced! Glad that quite a few of my picks made the list. Tarantino had no business being here though. Sounds like I have to watch The Proposition. |

Goddamn wonderful presentation (those quotes...how can some people hate westerns?) and an awesome list with the proper #1  Cool montage as well, Viced! The great thing about a list like that is the recommendation power of it - I've seen a lot but I haven't seen all of the films there so next time I want a fresh western for myself, I'll know where to look |

Oh, and Butch Cassidy is real overrated  |

Thanks very much for the wonderful presentation, Viced . Couldn't be on for it live, but it was still fun to read. I'm very happy that my #1 of all time (not only western, but also film overall) was also the #1 here. A worthy Top 3 indeed and a fine list (have seen nearly all of them, but also good that a few of them are left) in general. Would have wished that The Magnificent Seven made it higher as well as High Noon. Good to see Rio Bravo cracking the Top Ten, though it should have been even higher ;-) There are a few movies quite high I don't care for (Jesse James, McCabe & Mrs. Miller) and one I think is pretty bad (The Hateful Eight), but that's all I can complain about. |

Elisha Cook Jr 4
Slim Pickens 4
Ward Bond 4
Lee Van Cleef 4
James Stewart 3
Henry Fonda 3
Walter Brennan 3
Randolph Scott 3
Kurt Russell 3
Robert Ryan 3
For Wayne, surprised The Shootist and Hondo didn't squeeze in…. For fun, my other Western favs not on the list:
The Culpepper Cattle Company
The Hanging Tree
The Mercenary
The Westerner
The Homesman
The Sisters Brothers
The Scalphunters
The Blue Hotel
Two Rode Together
I Shot Jesse James
