From a standpoint of a movie buff watching a movie with innovative directing and editing, High Noon is the top. For a pure watch the movie and forget it's a movie, Searchers with MWSLV a very close second.

I'm on board with Fleegle's list above, except that I'm not a fan of the Spaghetti Western.

Fort Apache was a great one, but maybe more of a cavalry movie than a western?

I'm not a Sergio fan either...but...I do like the scope of the G,B&U~

For new stuff...1883, the 1923/Yellowstone Pre-prequel was pristine. Some of the best cinematography out there. Paramount+


 
Butch and Sundance is my favorite but there are tons of great westerns... I wish Hollywood would do more but they would just mess it up with gay cowboys or something.....
 
"Western" is a big tent. Jeff Bridges modern western "Hell and High Water" ranks pretty high for me. The Shootist with the Duke is watchable.
 
The Searchers, which is also one of the greatest movies ever made.
I am seeing searchers tonight .. I think
I am going to try to see 2 per week

Last nite I saw Maletese Falcon and it sucked

Jeff Bridges is one of the best actors I have ever seen
 
Once upon a Time in the WEST, Good, Bad, Ugly and Unforgiven are superb

These 3 are the best so far and not even close

Outlaw Wales was only great the first half
