Well those are all good movies but I think the very best western ever made has to be "The man who shot Liberty Valance"... You have The Duke, Jimmy Stewart, Lee Marvin (one of the all time great bad guys) and Vera Miles as Miss Hallie who cooks up steaks bigger than a 14 inch frying pan.....Great old time western I could watch every night and not get tired of it....
Next best and almost equal is the Duke's last film "The Shootist" also staring Jimmy Stewart and Lauren Bacall...Also a great movie which is a little sad because John Wayne passed away shortly after it was made way back in 1976...Wow has it been that long.....
Also have to mention "Tall in the Saddle". (can you tell I'm a Duke fan). Great old time western made way back in 1944 with good ole Gabby Hayes as Dukes sidekick....They just don't make um like this anymore
And last but not least, who doesn't love "Blazing Saddles". So stupid but hilarious...I love it when Sheriff Taggart is leading the posse to Rock Ridge and they come to the toll booth and he drawls out "Any body got a dime?...Somebody's got to go back and get a chit load of dimes.....Best comedy movie ever and can you imagine making this movie today?..no way
