"Never pet a burning dog"
I just happen to be watching The Rifleman, one of my favorites when I was a kid. Haven't seen it in a few years but they are finally showing it on one of the stations we get. My wife has been watching Wagon Train and has most of the recorded. We did the same with Wells Fargo, Alias Smith and Jones, and a few others. There's not much on TV anymore, but we do watch a number of old westerns on a couple of channels. I forget the name of it, but we watched an old John Wayne movie last night made in 1941 where he is a moonshiner. Watched it a number of years ago and it is still a good movie. Even watched True Grit a couple of nights ago.
As to the original post, one movie I can never pass up is The Cowboys. I think my mom brought me and my brothers to see it in the theaters when we were kids. Another on is Jerimiah Johnson. Love both of those movies.
My Western repertoire is kinda weird. Blazing Saddles, Kung Fu, The Harvey Girls (“…On the Acheson, Topeka, and the Santa Fe…”), True Grit, to name a few. Bonanza and Ponderosa were in syndication at 7pm I think, when I was a kid. F-Troop?

I'm from the same era. My sibs and I can still sing parts of the F-Troop theme song, and we had many opportunities on our family trips to quote the medicine man on how the tribe got their name: "Where the Hek-awi?"
I enjoyed Rawhide (Clint Eastwood).
Don't know why my folks took us to the theatre to see From Noon Till Three (Charles Bronson), but I was smitten with Jill Ireland. We also saw Winterhawk (vague memories of that one), and Blazing Saddles. Mel Brooks claims that the "You're sucking on my elbow" line was left on the cutting room floor, but it was included in the version that we saw that day in the theatre.
Quigley Down Under & Unforgiven are modern flicks that I occasionally re-watch
Joss Wedon's Firelfy is my favorite space western.
I thought Jack Palance played Liberty Valance?
Not really a Western, but City Slickers was pretty good. And Jack Palance did play a good role in it, (perhaps his last?).
How about Johhny Yuma was a Rebel? Not the name of it, but lyrics from the theme song.
Also liked The Guns of Will Sonnett (No brag, just fact).
High Chapparal
The Virginian
Big Valley
and most Duke movies, Western and otherwise.
Like everybody else here john wayne movies, el dorado, rio bravo, the comancheros, the undefeated to name a few. Also like a lot of the audie murphy, jimmy stewart, randolph scott movies and more as well. Could keep going but too many to list.

It was Lee Marvin in one of his best roles……..

Another great early Duke film from 1944 is “Tall in the Saddle”
