Unforgiven is my fav!

It's a good one!

1. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly - I loved everything about this movie
2. The Wild Bunch - The walk at the end is so awesome
3. Unforgiven - Definitely the darkest western I've seen
4. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
5. High Noon - Gary Cooper is such a bad ass

I've never seen Once Upon a Time in the West, but I hope to watch it soon

What the hell is a 'real western' then, Pike? What constitutes a 'real western' as opposed to a fake one? This should be good.

Anyways, i've never been a fan of westerns before and I used to find them really boring, hard to relate to and just visually uninteresting. But recently i've been growing a little bit of an appetite for the ol' cowboy film. It might have something to do with my grandfather passing away as he was into westerns big time. In fact, his name is WesTON, lol. Heres my top 5 for now.

I tend to like spaghetti westerns such as the Trinity series and the Clint Eastwood films way back when. I also like me some John Wayne.
