Can't forget the (intentional) comedy western movies. One of my favorites;
I like Kevin Klines performance in that. He was the only believable character. Fun movie regardless.
My favorite is probably El Dorado. Bob Mitchum was a friend of mine so that colors my view a little, but it is just a good tale.
James Caan is a hoot too!

I know it is a bit cliche, and the fighting scenes are unrealistic...but I can't help liking the movie Open Range.

My favorite old western is The Outlaw Jose Wales. My dad got me hooked on Clint spaghetti westerns, and I have a soft spot for Clint Eastwood movies.

It bothered and perplexed me that it looks as if Duval's character takes a bullet in the shoot out, but afterwards he has nothing.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly was another awesome movie.

Unlike most (not all) of his later films John Wayne's first leading role in The Big Trail (a box office flop) was very historically accurate or as historically accurate as Hollywood can get. Wayne didn't get his big break again until the release of Stagecoach nine years later. Released in 1930, much of the props and weapons were real leftovers from the old pioneer days some of the stuff that was still being used by many people out west. Of course the Indians all wearing full feathered headdresses was horribly inaccurate but it doesn't detract all that much from the overall accuracy displayed in the movie.
The movie is free on YouTube, Dailymotion and a few others.

IMO, there is no cowboy cooler than Clint. He didn't even have to talk or say anything, and you just knew what he was thinking. Lol!

Love it. Best western movies ever, IMO. Great villains, great heroes and nothing "romanticized."

Actually the fighting scenes in that one are fairly accurate, the movie itself is relatively cliche but also one of my favorites.

The people were dirty, unattractive and smelly, just like reality back then.

By unrealistic I mean like when Blue Bonnet (lol) shoots a couple guys with a shotgun it lifts them off their feet and blows them through a wall. As with any gun, when a person is shot it doesn't even knock them off balance - let alone blow them through a wall haha

I was a little kid when Clints spaghetti westerns were being shot. I loved them, because I thought he was such a bad ass
