+Korcsmaros As much as I love TGtBatU, OUaTitW is better. TGtBatU is comparable to Beethoven's 7th Symphony, which more people find enjoyable to listen to. OUaTitW is more like Beethoven's 9th, the complete masterpiece.
I found OUaTitW artistically superior, but it is also slower and less 'fun' than TGtBatU, which makes me think mostly cinephilles appreciate it more than regular movie goers. To me, OUaTitW is '2001', while TGtBatU is 'Star Wars'. Okay, not quite, but something like that :)
Damian Leurink I want to watch The Man With No Name Trilogy before Red Dead Redemption 2 and i'm 23 so they came out 30 years ish before i was born (but hopefully i'll still enjoy them a lot)
Top 5 should've been: 1. The Good, The Bad & The Ugly 2. Once Upon a Time in the West 3. For a Few Dollars More 4. For a Fistful of Dollars 5. Duck, You Sucker Yes all 5 Sergio Leone
My top ten Darling Clementine, Shane, Red River, Canyon Passage, The Tall Men ,The wild bunch, One eyed Jacks, Man without a star, Blood on the moon.Yellow Sky. if Clint Eastwood could act i might have included hang em high!
For a Few Dollars More not being at least top 3 makes this list irrelevant, the showdown between Mortimer and El Indio at the end deserves a spot alone.
there were already 2 movies from Leone, IMHO they couldn't make this list a retrospective of him. If it was me, I would have picked all his westerns but I can accept their selection. Obviously, "The good, the bad and the ugly" is correctly put as no.1 and it couldn't have been different than that unless you don't know anything about Cinema (not only the Western genre).

Clint Eastwood is by far the best and most charismatic western actor in the history. I wonder why "For a few dollars more" isn"t in this list. A real shame. I forgot to add "My name is nobody".
belgian oldtimer: That's debatable. I prefer John Wayne. Oh,and My Name Is Nobody isnt one of Clint's movies.The star of it was Terence Hill,with Henry Fonda. No Clint Eastwood.
piet pienter Clint Eastwood is the most iconic Gary Cooper is the most charismatic Lee Van Cleef is the most badass Henry Fonda is the most powerful Charles Bronson is the slickest John Wayne is the most mainstream Kirk Douglas is the most dynamic Steve McQueen is the toughest Eli Wallach is the ugliest (lol)
Regarding the actors: Clint Eastwood is the most iconic Gary Cooper is the most charismatic Lee Van Cleef is the most badass Henry Fonda is the most powerful Charles Bronson is the slickest John Wayne is the most mainstream Kirk Douglas is the most dynamic Steve McQueen is the toughest Bruce Dern is the most subtle Eli Wallach is the ugliest (lol)
Great list however may I argue you by saying that John Wayne was the most Heroic rather than mainstream while it was Lee Marvin who was the most Badass like he showed in 'The Man who shot Liberty Valance' and also in the great western 'The Professionals'. He was also a war veteran and hero for real. The most calm goes to Glenn Ford in movies like 'The fastest gun alive', 'The Sheepman' and 'Day of the evil gun'. As for the common man turned hero the best is James Stewart in movies like 'Naked Spur', 'Firecreek' and obviously 'Liberty Valance'. The best portrayal of a Sheriff/Marshal would be Burt Lancaster in 'Lawman' and 'Gunfight at O.K. Corall' and the coolest in 'The Professionals' and 'The Scalphunters' and 'Vera Cruz'. The most cunning would be Gregory Peck in movies like 'Big Country', 'McKenna's gold' and 'Shootout'. The most cynical would be William Holden in movies like 'Wild Bunch', 'Alvarez Kelly', 'The Horse Soldiers' and one of my favourite westerns 'The Revenchers'.An honorable mention should also go to Richard Widmarck in great movies like 'The Law and Jake Wade' with Robert Taylor where he portrayed a very believable villian and in others like 'Warlock' and 'War wagon' where he transforms from villian to hero. Charlton Heston did not do many westerns , but his Major Dundee portrayal is iconic. I also like Heston's 'The last Hard Man' with James Coburn. As for Coburn his best western beside 'The Magnificent Seven' is 'Bite the bullet' with Gene Hackman another actor who has contributed to the western especially in the last 30 years. Kevin Costner and Kurt Russel have also contributed to the Modern Westerns.
"Open Range" with Robert Duvall, Kevin Costner and Annette Bening has a great shootout scene at the end and is a well made Western all around. It deserves an "Honorable Mention".
I could live without them, because number 1 and if they included Corbuccis Django and "La resa dei conti"... The list seriously lacks of spaghetti westerns.
'Once upon a time in the West' is definitely the best of the lot. It is top-notch in direction, acting, pacing and visuals. Its musical score is very melodious and at the same time so haunting. The second spot should go to ''The Good, the Bad and the Ugly". It is also an unforgettable movie. Every time we watch it, it feels fresh.
1. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly 2. Rio Bravo 3. For a Few Dollars More 4. Once Upon a Time In the West 5. The Magnificent Seven 6. The Wild Bunch 7. Unforgiven 8. The Hateful Eight 9. Shane 10. High Noon

Once Upon a Time in the West is by far the best western ever made. And I am not the only one saying it. It is a masterpiece. The story, the wonderful amazing score, the dialogue, the drama, the story, the mystery, the beautiful woman, how it was shot, and oh yeah, the setting. Unbeatable. The last 15 minutes of the movie are perfect. Perfect.
It’s definitely in my top 10 possibly top five, can you really say it’s better than the good the bad and the ugly? If you can then it’s definitely the best of the 60s I’ll say the best of the 80s is Silverado 90s Has to be tombstone. 50s hast to go to Shane 70s Josey Wales 30s stage coach and I can’t think of a 40s one right now.
Great picks! My top ten is a bit more Eastwood laden but you included his three all time best. Also, 1993's Tombstone has always rated high with me, even more so now with Bill Paxton's untimely passing in 2017. RIP Bill. You left us some incredible films by which to remember you fondly.
I love Once Upon A Time In The West, i love the soundtrack, suspence, memorable characters and other qualities that makes it my favourite western movie.
1. For A Few Dollars More 2. The Good, the Bad & the Ugly 3. Once Upon A Time In The West 4. Unforgiven 5. The Magnificent Seven 6. Open Range 7. Searchers 8. A Fistful Of Dollars 9. My Name Is Nobody 10. Pale Rider
1. The good the bad and the ugly 2. For a few dollars more 3. Big jake 4. A fistful of dollars 5. Sons of Katy elder Honourable mentions - The man who shot liberty valance - Tombstone - Once upon a time in the west - The magnificent seven
MrBen: You would put Magnificent Seven only as honorable mention? How sad.The best full blooded cast in any film ever made,major star after star after star,..and you give it only that. Man,... That entire cast,including the bad guy,Eli Wallach,were stars before they got together for that film. Cast: Yul Brynner Eli Wallach Steve McQueen Charles Bronson James Coburn Robert Vaughn Horst Buchholtz How can it get any better than this?
"Shane" is among my favorite Westerns. I am glad it made honorable mention. The trilogy, "A Fistful of Dollars"; "A Few Dollars More" and "The Good Bad and the Ugly" are at the top of the list. "Dances with Wolves" is a film that has to be seen on the wide screen of a movie theater.
Putting "Shane" and "Stagecoach" on the Honorable mentions instead of on the list is a crime! Two movies that absolutely define the genre! I agree with your pic for No. 1 and No. 2 though!
Shane.....it was so good that Clint Eastwood took every aspect and nuisance of it and directed the film Pale Rider. It had it all, the scenery, the plot, the hero worship from a small boy, his mother hopelessly in love, and the epic finale. For me,the greatest western ever made.
Django Unchained, Tombstone, and the 3:10 to Yuma remake should all be at least honorable mentions. Also, Young Guns is kind of a guilty pleasure for me, even though I know it holds no place here.
I can agree with that, they should have been honorable mentions. The problem is, that if you include all the westerns that should be honorable mentions, the video would be an hour long :)

TheControversialToon in the remake of true grit at the in where she calls frank james a name in front of cole younger lets just say cole won't not have giving her a place to sit but shoot her dead and frank being the man he was would have stood up her a lady so someone needs to read a book on the man but tombstone one of the best

@@anthonylogiudice9215 Damn good movie. Even if it wasn't a good film, Clint makes any western watchable. I've always seen the sunset during the end credits of Unforgiven as the sun setting on the Western. That film was the final masterpiece of the genre. I can't think of one that's been released since 1992 that comes anywhere close to that film's level of greatness. There have been hybrids like No Country for Old Men and Hell of High Water but none that have properly filled the void.
Jaxson Burke I agree with most of them mate. Nice to see another fella who has a good taste and appreciation for the great oldens. I would have el dorado and the original true grit in there tho.
Shane not making the Top 10? George Stevens masterpiece broke the mold of westerns, guns were no longer pop-guns, they were instruments of violence. The cinematography is unsurpassed by any western before and after. Between 1945 and 1970, George Stevens only made nine movies - the sign of a true perfectionist.
One word: Tombstone "You called down the thunder. Well now you got it [. . . ] You tell them I'm coming and hells coming with me, you hear? Hell's coming with me!" Not only is this an amazingly well written scene, but the actor puts so much emotion into it ... it honestly deserved an honorable mention. : (
totally agree with the number 1 spot, a great movie and 1 of the best westerns ever made. The best thing about the film is that its not JUST a straightforward western there are moments of great history, moments of sadness, moments of tragedy its just a amazing film.
Many people dont directly consider it a classic western but I'd include it. Little Big Man. One of the most unique, classic, funny and entertaining westerns. Unlike the typical spaghetti or gunslinger western it was something refreshing. Somewhat like a classic western opposite to McCabe & Mrs. Miller.
I ,like the good bad and the ugly...don't know why...but it was so finale...chuckle...kevin kostner is a great actor and how the west was won was so uplifting...which is you- ken
I like The Cowboys with John Wayne and Bruce Dern. In that movie, John Wayne plays a cattle farmer who needs a crew to help him drive his herd to the next town over. Since he can't get any men to help him, he calls on a school house full of boys to drive the herd with him. Bruce Dern plays the leader of a group of rustlers to steal the herd from him. Bruce Dern is also the first villain in history who gets to kill John Wayne in a movie.
1.good/bad /ugly , maybe the best movie ever made , masterpiece even by today standards 2. For a few dollars more 3.once upon a time in the west 4. Django unchained 2012 5.the hateful eight 2015 6.fistful of dollars 7.unforgiven 1990 8.true grit 2010 9.tombstone 10.the ballad of buster scroogs Pretty much the definitive top , you only need to watch this
Did you notice that in the scene from TheGoodtheBadandtheUgly, Van Cleef is wearing a belt filled with cartridges, but his pistol is an 1858 cap and ball Remington?
+William Bridgeman Metallic cartridge conversions of the old Remington and Colt cap 'n balls were made, but not until about 4 or 5 years after the Civil War. Eh, there are tons of anachronisms in every Western, but the whole point is to create an idealized fantasy. Movies like "The Quick and the Dead" with Sharon Stone are a prime example of why you shouldn't look too closely at a Western for historic accuracy.
Despite being my favorite genre, I've somehow never gotten to Once Upon a Time in the West, and the Wild Bunch. Saw the rest #1 is the a no-brainer, completely correct, though Unforgiven is #2..."the Good, the Bad, and The Ugly" is the best western, "Unforgiven" is the best modern western.
I agree with you I couldn't like the good the bad the ugly any more than I do it's a tie with it and Apocalypse now for the greatest movies ever but once upon a Time in the West just falls flat for me it moves too slowly okay the fly is an iconic moment but it's too long too many dripping things and creaking boards and slow action and where they chose to have their ranch also is a mistake that they've made in several westerns you've got to have water and grass and life where you plan on sitting down your stakes or you're going to get turned into a tumbleweed really quick
1. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly 2. For a Few Dollars More 3. A Fistful of Dollars 4. Once Upon a Time in the West 5. The Magnificent Seven 6. The Outlaw Josey Wales 7. Unforgiven 8. Wyatt Earp 9. High Plains Drifter 10. True Grit (2010) 11. Hang 'Em High
SAsgarters And still the first four films on your list are by the same director (Sergio Leone), do you realize that? It's very easy (ESPECIALLY in the Western genre) if you watch films by certain directors. You just have to look for John Ford, Sergio Corbucci, Howard Hawks Westerns, and you'll find countless masterpieces. The Good, the bad and the ugly in particular is mostly great because of the direction (and the soundtrack)
clearly one of.the top.t.of.all time. also up.there: "wild Rovers. william Holden's last movie with Ryan O'Neill. Directed by Blake Edwards. best of all time with no reservations ations: Monte Walsh with Lee Marvin and Jack Palance. Django Unchained couldn't hold the piss pot for Monte Walsh or wild Rovers. the
Top 10 of all time 10. For a few dollars more 9. The wild bunch 8. The magnificent seven 7. High noon 6. Shane 5. The searchers 4. Unforgiven 3. Butch cassidy and the sundance kid 2. Once upon time in the west 1. The good the bad and the ugly
YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME! Ok... Unforgiven is a great movie, awesome movie, but better than Once Upon a Time in the West, that's just a joke, Eastwood is a great director, but Leone... I mean... Leone is just Leone
TheDreamtheaterlover Don't know if THE best movie but certainly one of the best, and my favorite western alongside "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" can't decide between this two
My list (In my opinion): Honorable Mentions: - Sweetgrass - The Wild Bunch - The Ballad of Buster Scruggs - Giant - Deadwood: The Movie 10. Once Upon a Time in the West 9. A Fistful of Dollars (Per un Pugno di Dollari) 8. The Searchers 7. Unforgiven 6. True Grit 5. Rio Bravo 4. Stagecoach 3. High Noon 2. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly 1. The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
Steven Clark It's entertaining. It's just not top 10 worthy. Especially not over other films that weren't included, like The Man Who Shot Liberty Vallance, My Darling Clementine, or honorable mention Stagecoach (which really should have made the top 10). Even among recent westerns I'd pick Open Range over Tombstone. I've often felt Tombstone is over-rated by many. It's as if the people talking about it have only Bad Girls and Young Guns to compare it to.
"The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance," "High Plains Drifter," and "Django Unchained" are definites in my top 10. "Little Big Man" deserves honorable mention, too, along with "Winchester 73."
The following classics should be at least honorable mentions: 1. High Plains Drifter 2. Two mules for sister Sarah 3. For a few dollars more 4. Fistful of dollars 5. Pale Rider
HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER HAS A VERY CO NTROVERSIAL RAPE SCENE. I GET IT THAT THE SHERIFF WAS ON A MISSION TO PUNISH THE VILLAGE WHO HAD COWARDLY WATCHED THE PREVIOUS SHERIFF WHIPPED TO DEATH AND IT SEEMS THAT EASTWOOD WAS HIS BROTHER ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT CLEAR FROM THE MOVIE. HOWEVER, EASTWOOD DOING A RAPE SCENE IS NOT FINE AT ALL AND THIS FROM A GREAT FAN OF EASTWOOD. JOHN WAYNE WOULD NOT HAVE ACCEPTED THAT SCENE , NOT EVEN FOR ALL THE MONEY IN FORT KNOX. THE HERO OR ANTI-HERO IN THIS CASE MUST STILL HAVE LIMITS. I THINK THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THEY DON'T SHOW THIS MOVIE ON TV VERY OFTEN. PALE RIDER IS A TONED DOWN VERSION OF THIS MOVIE AND IS SHOWN MORE ON TV.
The Good, the Bad & the Ugly is not just the best Western movie, it is one of the best films ever made.
+Korcsmaros completely true and to the point. I saw it in 66, 67, 68, 69, 79......and will watch it again this weekend. Sorry Tuco!
+Korcsmaros As much as I love TGtBatU, OUaTitW is better. TGtBatU is comparable to Beethoven's 7th Symphony, which more people find enjoyable to listen to. OUaTitW is more like Beethoven's 9th, the complete masterpiece.
I found OUaTitW artistically superior, but it is also slower and less 'fun' than TGtBatU, which makes me think mostly cinephilles appreciate it more than regular movie goers. To me, OUaTitW is '2001', while TGtBatU is 'Star Wars'. Okay, not quite, but something like that :)

5. Duck, You Sucker
Yes all 5 Sergio Leone
Except 5, this is pretty accurate. Hard to separate anything between 1 and 4
My top ten Darling Clementine, Shane, Red River, Canyon Passage, The Tall Men ,The wild bunch, One eyed Jacks, Man without a star, Blood on the moon.Yellow Sky. if Clint Eastwood could act i might have included hang em high!
Sergio corbucci's the great silence?
The unforgiven should be there
YESSSS, TOTALLY AGREE!!!!
Clint Eastwood. Best bad ass cowboy
*Bountyhunter... He ain´t no cow man
None of the characters he played were "cowboys."
Ikr
He was a bounty hunter
Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach were good too.
For a Few Dollars More not being at least top 3 makes this list irrelevant, the showdown between Mortimer and El Indio at the end deserves a spot alone.
damn bro,i just love how two bounty hunter work together and giving respect to each other
I actually think that was the best of the Eastwood/Leone collaborations even though I wasn't in it
YES mortimer deserves a standalone
there were already 2 movies from Leone, IMHO they couldn't make this list a retrospective of him. If it was me, I would have picked all his westerns but I can accept their selection. Obviously, "The good, the bad and the ugly" is correctly put as no.1 and it couldn't have been different than that unless you don't know anything about Cinema (not only the Western genre).
Totally agree, "For a Few Dollars More" is superb, easily in the top 5 of any "Greatest Westerns" listing.
For a few dollars more doesn't even get an honorable mention
For a Few' is actually my favourite Leone movie. I think the civil war scene detracted from The Good' slightly. Still a behemoth of a movie mind
Right? Even Fistful of Dollars
Or even Hang ‘Em High
Thomas Hake disgusting
I kind of assumed all 3 were tied for #1
Lee Van Cleef. Don't forget em.
@Yih Dzelonh he wasnt a bad guy in for a few dollars more though
We all wanna be like Lee Van Cleef
I agree, one of my favorite spaghetti westerns is Death Rides a Horse
The Big Gun Down
Death Rides a horse
Day of Anger
Sabata 1+3
Bad Man's river
The Grand Duel
God's Gun
For a few dollars more
The Good the bad and the ugly

I know this is old but hopefully you’ve changed your opinion. The Good The Bad And The Ugly Negs.
Oh, it’s the best of its era. It’s a true art form that gives me goosebumps.
I don't know if they should make the top ten, but I sure enjoyed "Tombstone" (Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday stole the picture) and also "Siverardo."

I saw The Good, The Bad & the Ugly for the first time when I was about 5 years old. Now I wanna go watch it again! Coolest movie ever!
1. For A Few Dollars More
2. The Good, the Bad & the Ugly
3. Once Upon A Time In The West
4. Unforgiven
5. The Magnificent Seven
6. Open Range
7. Searchers
8. A Fistful Of Dollars
9. My Name Is Nobody
10. Pale Rider
miguel ornelas it's his opinion
You spelled tombstone wrong
For a few dollars more is my personal favorite as well...
@jack mehOFF Let's see your list
Anybody else find it kind of ironic that Clint “East”wood plays in a lot of “West”erns?
good joke man
No
Just you
BOO!
NO!
1. The good the bad and the ugly
2. For a few dollars more
3. Big jake
4. A fistful of dollars
5. Sons of Katy elder
Honourable mentions - The man who shot liberty valance
- Tombstone
- Once upon a time in the west
- The magnificent seven
MrBen:
You would put Magnificent Seven only as honorable mention? How sad.The best full blooded cast in any film ever made,major star after star after star,..and you give it only that. Man,... That entire cast,including the bad guy,Eli Wallach,were stars before they got together for that film.
Cast:
Yul Brynner
Eli Wallach
Steve McQueen
Charles Bronson
James Coburn
Robert Vaughn
Horst Buchholtz
How can it get any better than this?
The shootist, high plains drifter, Eldorado, red river.
The Sons of Katie Elder is awesome!
@@balkangameszp agree and I just got done watching the wild bunch and it's now made it's way on to my list of great wester movies
How you not have open range in there? Crazy
where is Tombstone?
+4u25out Im your Huckleyberry.
+4u25out : you are right friend.. where is tombstone?
Tombstone is in Arizona, I've been there.
Yeah, it should've been on the list.
Tombstone is so underrated. Val Kilmer is fantastic
Once Upon a Time in the West is number 1
"Shane" is among my favorite Westerns. I am glad it made honorable mention. The trilogy, "A Fistful of Dollars"; "A Few Dollars More" and "The Good Bad and the Ugly" are at the top of the list. "Dances with Wolves" is a film that has to be seen on the wide screen of a movie theater.
RDR2 made me to indulge in western films.
Devailean western movies made me indulge in rdr2
ZebraYeet you just put down a reverse card on him 😂
RDR2 online made me indulge in empty promises.
same. just watched the man with no name trilogy for the first time, it was awesome
@@journey95far49
If you want a great western movie , watch The hateful eight . The hateful eight is so awesome
I really do think that the last 30 seconds of the showdown of The Good, The Bad And The Ugly was the most badass moment in movie history
Putting "Shane" and "Stagecoach" on the Honorable mentions instead of on the list is a crime! Two movies that absolutely define the genre! I agree with your pic for No. 1 and No. 2 though!
Did they consider Django Unchained to be a hybrid Western? Because it made me a little suspicious as to why it wasn't even mentioned.
Shane.....it was so good that Clint Eastwood took every aspect and nuisance of it and directed the film Pale Rider. It had it all, the scenery, the plot, the hero worship from a small boy, his mother hopelessly in love, and the epic finale. For me,the greatest western ever made.
Shane is my pick too.
Shane,comeback,,best ever
Pale Rider was tremendously good Shane being a 50s movie was still way better
Django Unchained, Tombstone, and the 3:10 to Yuma remake should all be at least honorable mentions. Also, Young Guns is kind of a guilty pleasure for me, even though I know it holds no place here.
Yep, I agree :3
I agree
I can agree with that, they should have been honorable mentions. The problem is, that if you include all the westerns that should be honorable mentions, the video would be an hour long :)
1.The good, the bad, and the ugly
2.a fist full of dollars
3.3:10 to yuma (remake)
4.duck you sucker
5.once upon a time in the west
6.tombstone
7.a few dollars more
8.unforgivin
9.high planes drifter
10.butch casidy and the sun dance kid
I cant think of john wayne movie I like, willd bill with jeff bridges was okay,
Maverick was okay, true grit was okay, anything with eastwood is a must see western, I cant think of another western I like as much as these
The John Wayne version of True Grit was WAY better then the new one..and where was Tombstone?!
TheControversialToon in the remake of true grit at the in where she calls frank james a name in front of cole younger lets just say cole won't not have giving her a place to sit but shoot her dead and frank being the man he was would have stood up her a lady so someone needs to read a book on the man but tombstone one of the best

9. The Outlaw Josey Wales
10. Rio Bravo
Pale Rider was a great Western film in the 1980s, a decade in which Hollywood abandoned the genre because it was not profitable anymore.
@@anthonylogiudice9215 Damn good movie. Even if it wasn't a good film, Clint makes any western watchable. I've always seen the sunset during the end credits of Unforgiven as the sun setting on the Western. That film was the final masterpiece of the genre. I can't think of one that's been released since 1992 that comes anywhere close to that film's level of greatness. There have been hybrids like No Country for Old Men and Hell of High Water but none that have properly filled the void.
Jaxson Burke I agree with most of them mate. Nice to see another fella who has a good taste and appreciation for the great oldens. I would have el dorado and the original true grit in there tho.
Ohh and butch Cassidy and the sundance kid, I almost forgot. Oh hell and every John Wayne western in there aswell.
@@JohnSmith-gf2en I actually have never seen El Dorado. I like The Coen Brothers remake of True Grit much more than John Wayne's.
Once upon a time in the West is still my favorite, I think it was the first western I ever saw.
Shane not making the Top 10? George Stevens masterpiece broke the mold of westerns, guns were no longer pop-guns, they were instruments of violence. The cinematography is unsurpassed by any western before and after. Between 1945 and 1970, George Stevens only made nine movies - the sign of a true perfectionist.
how does Tombstone not even get a mention?
NO DOUBT! that movie was EPIC!!
I know, right?! I consider Tombstone to be one of the best (if not the best) westerns of all time. This movie got cheated.
Hell yeah it should top 3, Consider it's based on real life events/people as well
I can't believe watchmojo didn't even mention Rio Bravo what some might consider John Wayne's greatest western!!
therollingbeatles123 It's my all time favorite Western and in my top 3 list for greatest movie regardless of genre.
I like the Searchers a little bit more.
One word: Tombstone
"You called down the thunder. Well now you got it [. . . ] You tell them I'm coming and hells coming with me, you hear? Hell's coming with me!"
Not only is this an amazingly well written scene, but the actor puts so much emotion into it ... it honestly deserved an honorable mention. : (
Yes it did!
That and also Wyatt Earp love both films
Thanks for giving away all the endings.
Dislike for not adding Bud Spencer & Terence Hill on this list....
yes, the poker secene whith the epic card shuffling
Did you check the criteria at the start????
11001 11001 And the "gunfight" where trinity just slaps the opponent. That was the most legendary thing in a western movie. 😂😂😂😂😂
They have a video game now...
Terence Hill & Henry Fonda's My Name Is Nobody is definitely top 10 material. But so is Boots Hill and They Call Me Trinity
My picks: Every Clint Eastwood western ever. That dude made me love cowboys. :)
W H E R E I S R A N G O
where is the ridiculous 6
Thats right
Mist underrated western ever
Damn that's actually a good one
Because this video made by 2014🙄
Why am I not surprised that Clint Eastwood is on this list 3 times.
He should have been on five.. fistful of dollars, for a few dollars more needs to be mentioned...
What about Robert Redford in Jeremiah Johnson. One of the best!
I agree :-)
Great call, much underrated.
That's a great and beautiful movie where the scenes do the talking. The film is almost a documentary or a story telling experience. Yes great movie.
Absolutely, must watch again.
Yes great movie one of the best
totally agree with the number 1 spot, a great movie and 1 of the best westerns ever made. The best thing about the film is that its not JUST a straightforward western there are moments of great history, moments of sadness, moments of tragedy its just a amazing film.
Red dead redemption 2 players looking for outfit and gun ideas
why no honorable mentions for other dollar trilogy movies
Django: Unchained!!!!
troll
Django can Dsuck my Dballs.
John Hugey, That was Immature, how old are you? 2?
i'm searching for it too. .
Django cant touch any of these westerns. I thought the remake of 3:10 to yuma mightve got an honourable mention
I thought Tombstone would've made this list.
Snarfsnarfff absolutely goddamn shame that this list is without it
hell it didn't even get an "Honorable Mention"...Totally Bogus List!!!
I am surprised it didnt make the list as well. It is great.
i thought The Ridiculous 6 would have made this list
“I have two guns, one for each of ya” so many timeless lines in that movie
it's a good thing i have seen these films. The spoilers on these videos are friggin ridiculous!
My name is Nobody?
I dont think most ppl have seen this movie, but it is a great
Soooooooooo!!!Great movie!!
Dead Man
no Tombstone?
My top 5:
#1 The Good The Bad And The Ugly
#2 Once Upon A Time In The West
#3 For A Few Dollars More
#4 A Fistfull Of Dollars
#5 Unforgiven
Many people dont directly consider it a classic western but I'd include it. Little Big Man. One of the most unique, classic, funny and entertaining westerns. Unlike the typical spaghetti or gunslinger western it was something refreshing. Somewhat like a classic western opposite to McCabe & Mrs. Miller.
Westerns are my favorite kind of movie....I put one on and I fall asleep if I saw it before...Eastwood was the best
I ,like the good bad and the ugly...don't know why...but it was so finale...chuckle...kevin kostner is a great actor and how the west was won was so uplifting...which is you- ken
Your welcome, Sarah...compliments are free ken
If a wildlife version of TGTBTU was made, Angel Eyes would be a crocodile, Tuco a honey badger and Blondie a weasel.
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance should have been on there
I like The Cowboys with John Wayne and Bruce Dern. In that movie, John Wayne plays a cattle farmer who needs a crew to help him drive his herd to the next town over. Since he can't get any men to help him, he calls on a school house full of boys to drive the herd with him. Bruce Dern plays the leader of a group of rustlers to steal the herd from him. Bruce Dern is also the first villain in history who gets to kill John Wayne in a movie.
Wayne's character died in several of his films. Dern was just the first one to be SEEN doing it!
1.good/bad /ugly , maybe the best movie ever made , masterpiece even by today standards

All great movies u listed
A fistful of dollars is in my top top..
Mule scene is one of the best ever...
@@henry6354 yes bro , just i forget the name of the movie when I wrote this list
@@bratosin1 👍
The Searchers?
Quigly Down Under. OK it is in Australia, but Quigly is from Wyoming. Open Range should have got a honorable mention, as well as Dances with Wolves.
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly will be nr1 because of its popularity, but i'd put Once Upon a Time in the West as number 1.
Once upon a time in the west, The outlaw Josey Wales, and For a Few Dollars More, are my favorites.
Did you notice that in the scene from TheGoodtheBadandtheUgly, Van Cleef is wearing a belt filled with cartridges, but his pistol is an 1858 cap and ball Remington?
William Bridgeman We all noticed this but refrained from pointing out something so obvious.
+William Bridgeman
Metallic cartridge conversions of the old Remington and Colt cap 'n balls were made, but not until about 4 or 5 years after the Civil War. Eh, there are tons of anachronisms in every Western, but the whole point is to create an idealized fantasy. Movies like "The Quick and the Dead" with Sharon Stone are a prime example of why you shouldn't look too closely at a Western for historic accuracy.
I'm John Wayne in the first thanksgiving, pilgrim.
Happy thanksgiving, pilgrim.
Now try to guess where that's from.
Family guy
Family guy
Great list. All right on the money. The Good The Bad And The Ugly is a definite number 1
Tombstone and Open Range... The remake of True Grit doesn't deserve to be on here...
Despite being my favorite genre, I've somehow never gotten to Once Upon a Time in the West, and the Wild Bunch. Saw the rest #1 is the a no-brainer, completely correct, though Unforgiven is #2..."the Good, the Bad, and The Ugly" is the best western, "Unforgiven" is the best modern western.
I agree with you I couldn't like the good the bad the ugly any more than I do it's a tie with it and Apocalypse now for the greatest movies ever but once upon a Time in the West just falls flat for me it moves too slowly okay the fly is an iconic moment but it's too long too many dripping things and creaking boards and slow action and where they chose to have their ranch also is a mistake that they've made in several westerns you've got to have water and grass and life where you plan on sitting down your stakes or you're going to get turned into a tumbleweed really quick
1. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
2. For a Few Dollars More
3. A Fistful of Dollars
4. Once Upon a Time in the West
5. The Magnificent Seven
6. The Outlaw Josey Wales
7. Unforgiven
8. Wyatt Earp

10. True Grit (2010)
11. Hang 'Em High
Not a big John Ford or Howard Hawks fan, are you?
Tom Waits It's more that I don't care. I don't care who the director of a movie is, unless I'm looking for someone to blame.
SAsgarters And still the first four films on your list are by the same director (Sergio Leone), do you realize that? It's very easy (ESPECIALLY in the Western genre) if you watch films by certain directors. You just have to look for John Ford, Sergio Corbucci, Howard Hawks Westerns, and you'll find countless masterpieces. The Good, the bad and the ugly in particular is mostly great because of the direction (and the soundtrack)
teacher: You Can't Hear Pictures!
me: *video thumbnail*
My grandmother's favorite Western was Ride the High Country.
This entire top ten could of been entirely made of spaghetti westerns, not having For A Few Dollars More in the top three is just ridiculous
@Duncan....they forgot High Planes Drifter, too.
Agree!Only spaghetti westerns!Should cover the list!With a honorably mention to Kurosawa Director!
Open Range with Kevin Costner and Robert Duvall would be at the top of my list.
clearly one of.the top.t.of.all time.
also up.there: "wild Rovers. william Holden's last movie with Ryan O'Neill. Directed by Blake Edwards. best of all time with no reservations ations: Monte Walsh with Lee Marvin and Jack Palance. Django Unchained couldn't hold the piss pot for Monte Walsh or wild Rovers.
the
KnightOwl2006 Open Range is really underrated man it's so good
Top 10 of all time
10. For a few dollars more
9. The wild bunch
8. The magnificent seven
7. High noon
6. Shane
5. The searchers
4. Unforgiven
3. Butch cassidy and the sundance kid

Wtf, FISTFULL OF DOLLARS and TOMBSTONE don't even get honorable mention?????? BOTH ARE BETTER THAN HALF THE LIST.
Totally agree with #1 pick! 👍
YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME! Ok... Unforgiven is a great movie, awesome movie, but better than Once Upon a Time in the West, that's just a joke, Eastwood is a great director, but Leone... I mean... Leone is just Leone
Peter Molenaar Thanks bro
Lord Crow
Once Upon A Time In The West is not only the best western of all time but also the best movie of all time it's A Western Opera
TheDreamtheaterlover Don't know if THE best movie but certainly one of the best, and my favorite western alongside "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" can't decide between this two
Lord Crow .
THE LONE RANGER AND The Good,The Bad And The Ugly Are my Favourite!!
Shane deserves to be in the top 10, without doubt.
"You gonna pull those pistols or whistle Dixie?" =)))
WTF! Tombstone!? Hello!? I can't believe it's not even on the list! Some one give me a good reason why Tombstone is not on there!
Barca Bro For real!
Here's a reason: the creator of the list thinks other ones are better
Stefan de boer Here's a reason: His list is not better.
My list (In my opinion):
Honorable Mentions:
- Sweetgrass
- The Wild Bunch
- The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
- Giant
- Deadwood: The Movie
10. Once Upon a Time in the West
9. A Fistful of Dollars (Per un Pugno di Dollari)
8. The Searchers
7. Unforgiven
6. True Grit
5. Rio Bravo
4. Stagecoach
3. High Noon
2. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
1. The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
Thank you for not including Tombstone. Had a nightmare vision of it being #1 when I started the video. Glad to see it didn't make the cut.
WTF is wrong with Tombstone.
Steven Clark It's entertaining. It's just not top 10 worthy. Especially not over other films that weren't included, like The Man Who Shot Liberty Vallance, My Darling Clementine, or honorable mention Stagecoach (which really should have made the top 10). Even among recent westerns I'd pick Open Range over Tombstone.
I've often felt Tombstone is over-rated by many. It's as if the people talking about it have only Bad Girls and Young Guns to compare it to.
Why no Rio Bravo, or A Fist Full of Dollars? Even the first Lone Ranger movie.. the black and white one.
Windupchronic And lets not forget DESTRY RIDES AGAIN.
Windupchronic the big gundown, the original django were also missed.
Pale Rider “there’s nothing like a nice piece a hickory”
Preacher........I love you
Great list. Top 10 westerns of all time could be crowded by another 100.
"The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance," "High Plains Drifter," and "Django Unchained" are definites in my top 10. "Little Big Man" deserves honorable mention, too, along with "Winchester 73."
Django is a shit movie. I agree with the rest as great movies but none in the top 10.
@@MaynardGKrebs-gv4vy High Plains Drifter is the only movie worthy of top 10 out of the movies he mentioned
Django was garbage
The following classics should be at least honorable mentions:
1. High Plains Drifter
2. Two mules for sister Sarah
3. For a few dollars more
4. Fistful of dollars
5. Pale Rider
hell yeah I was looking for High Plains Drifter in the comments, classic.
@@Benjaminbutton86 High Plains Drifter I found inadvertently hilarious.
Tombstone??????
Somebody likes some Clint Eastwood:)
HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER HAS A VERY CO NTROVERSIAL RAPE SCENE. I GET IT THAT THE SHERIFF WAS ON A MISSION TO PUNISH THE VILLAGE WHO HAD COWARDLY WATCHED THE PREVIOUS SHERIFF WHIPPED TO DEATH AND IT SEEMS THAT EASTWOOD WAS HIS BROTHER ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT CLEAR FROM THE MOVIE. HOWEVER, EASTWOOD DOING A RAPE SCENE IS NOT FINE AT ALL AND THIS FROM A GREAT FAN OF EASTWOOD. JOHN WAYNE WOULD NOT HAVE ACCEPTED THAT SCENE , NOT EVEN FOR ALL THE MONEY IN FORT KNOX. THE HERO OR ANTI-HERO IN THIS CASE MUST STILL HAVE LIMITS. I THINK THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THEY DON'T SHOW THIS MOVIE ON TV VERY OFTEN. PALE RIDER IS A TONED DOWN VERSION OF THIS MOVIE AND IS SHOWN MORE ON TV.
