I've never really taken the time to explore the genre and now I'm very interested.

The Searchers
The Professionals
Blazing Saddles (comedy really but still fun as a western)
The cowboys
Breaker Morant
The Proposition (Australian Western)
3:10 to Yuma is decent
The Wild Bunch
Unforgiven (a must see)
Broken Trail (miniseries)
Loneseome Dove (miniseries)
The Good the Bad and the Ugly (all hail classic clint eastwood)

and if you want to spend the dough and get the imports you can see

A Fistful of Dollars
For a few dollars more

If you like western comedies you can't go wrong with Blazing Saddles or Young Guns!

I wish they would release the Trinity films on blu!

Not yet mentioned:

Appaloosa
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Hidalgo (sort of a western)

Not a shoot 'em up western, but quite a very good character study with BRILLIANT performances. Both Afleck and Pitt were haunting.

Lots of good ones, but these are the MUST HAVES:

The Wild Bunch
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
The Searchers
Rio Bravo

All classics and all fantastic examples of older movies on Blu-ray!

Lol, that's not a western. It's a military courtroom drama.

Unforgiven is my favorite western blu-ray movie so far
Lonesome Dove broke my cold black heart - another favorite

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly - the final "chapter" of the "Man with No Name" trilogy

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid may not have the best transfer, but it's still the best the genre has to offer in my opinion.
