When John Wayne died my bros and I had a massive weekend marathon. I liked everything I saw him in.

Top Five American Westerns?

Favorite Movies
Cool. I've never thought Wayne a great actor, but he can help support a film pretty well. He fit his roles well, which got help from his build. He was about 6'4", and about 250, so he looked rather intimidating.
Top 5 purely American Westerns for me:
1) The Searchers
2) Rio Bravo
3) McCabe & Mrs. Miller
4) The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
5) Stagecoach
There are lots of other great ones of course and there are still a whole bunch of very highly rated ones that I haven't seen yet. I've barely scratched the surface of this genre so far.

Heaven's Gate (1980)
Meeks Cutoff (2010)
Tombstone (1993)
The Big Country (1958)
The Bravados (1958)
I could make that all 5 Eastwood, or all 5 John Ford, there's way too many to name just 5.

My favorite genre is Western, and I watch as many as possible from anywhere possible. I put it to you, my fine friends - what are your top five American westerns? TV shows and miniseries count, though I abhor you not to list episodes. Anything else is fine. Here's mine:
Hatfields & McCoys
Hell on Wheels
El Dorado
Wild Bunch
Dead Man
Your turn!

Um, Once Upon a Time in the West is Italian, not American.

I never was much of one for westerns, but I enjoyed the following. I adored the first two on the list far more than I probably should. I mean... like.... therapy level of concern.
Free Range
Deadwood
Unforgiven
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Seraphim Falls

This is the biggest gap in my knowledge of American cinema. I just don't feel compelled to watch these.
1) The Quick and the Dead
2) Red River
3) Dodge City
4) High Plains Drifter
5) They Died with Their Boots On

Um, anything on your list not made in America?
. I missed that. I'll replace it with Searchers.
