OMG!

You're going to countdown from eighty-five?

Well, at least it is nice to know that two other people appreciate Tommy Lee Jones' directorial debut.

I'm one of the votes for Gunfight at the OK Corral. Would've bumped it up a few notches, if not for that damn annoying theme song.

OK Corral and The Gunfighter were both on my top 25 list.

What! Peckinpah's, Ride The High Country only scrapes in at 85!! Ha, the moaning starts early

[esteban²]

Yes! I have the tie breaking rank-vote for 3 burrials. Really surprised it's that low and only got 3 votes ... Great movie !

[Rodney-2187]

Seeing what's on the list at this point, I'm thinking Support Your Local Sheriff didn't make it. Oh well, still hoping Lonesome Dove does well.

I wanted to do the top 99 or 100 or even the top half (113 of 226) but too many of the movies around there have just one vote each and even with the two tie-breakers, they're still tied. I will show the basic complete list after we do the top countdown.


I need to check out The Three Burials, I hadn't heard of it prior to this thread and just watched the trailer. it looks pretty good and I like tommy lee jones in just about everything I see him in.

I still haven't seen it but damn it looks solid. I've seen TLJ's adaptation of Sunset Ltd. and that was on point.

Well, have at it! I'm hopeful that the other films on my list rank higher.

The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada is a must watch for any fan of the western genre.

[esteban²]

Estrada is a real slow burner, do check it out. I'm sure you'll like it.

[Hucksta G]

Three Burials made my list

[principehomura]

This will be useful for a western-themed watchlist!
So many to see yet!

81. THEY DIED WITH THEIR BOOTS ON 1941

22 POINTS FROM 2 VOTES
HIGHEST RANKING #9




80. HOW THE WEST WAS WON 1962

24 POINTS FROM 7 VOTES
HIGHEST RANKING #7




79. SHE WORE A YELLOW RIBBON 1949

25 POINTS FROM 1 VOTE
HIGHEST RANKING #1

[october27]

I need to catch How The West Was Won in the Cinerama version. I've seen the versions where it was converted to standard widescreen and it seems like the black bars cover too much of the screen with a 2.89:1 aspect ratio or it was fit into a full screen version for the tv broadcast where I'm missing half the picture. For those who have seen both Cinerama and standard, which is your favorite version?


Note She Wore A Yellow Ribbon was the only movie that makes the list entirely from one person's #1 vote.

Yeah! That was my vote. My favourite Ford/Wayne western after Stagecoach, & the Warner Archive Blu-ray is a stunner. I'm glad to see that They Dies With Their Boots On also made the cut, come on Warner, get your finger out & release some more Flynn.
