I have always had a soft spot in my heart for watching a good Western.

Over the last few years, I’ve been watching some of the classic westerns, catching up on movies I have always wanted to see, but never had the time.

By no means am I an expert on ranking movies, but I figured I share the titles of the most enjoyable westerns that I have viewed (to date).

I didn’t rank these films, rather, it’s simply an alphabetical list of the Westerns I have enjoyed.

• Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)
• A Fistful of Dollars (1964)
• For A Few Dollars More (1965)
• The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly (1966)
• The Gunfighter (1950)
• Hang ‘Em High (1968)
• High Noon (1952)
• Jeremiah Johnson (1972)
• The Lone Ranger (1956)
• The Magnificent Seven (1960)
• Man of the West (1958)
• Once Upon A Time in the West (1968)
• Open Range (2003)
• Pale Rider (1985)
• Stagecoach (1939)
• Tombstone (1993)
• True Grit (1969)
• True Grit (2010)

Years ago, I remember watching and enjoying Dances With Wolves, Gunfight at the OK Corral, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Shane, Young Guns, Silverado, and a made-for-HBO western titled Draw. I remember enjoying each of those films, but, since I haven’t seen any of them in decades, I didn’t include them in the list.
