Tombstone
This movie could top the list on the quality of it's moustaches alone. But the
dialouge is peerless. Kilmer and Russell showcase exactly what's kept
them in work all these years. No other movie could deliver lines like
"Skin that smoke wagon and see what happens" from under such bristles
and still be taken seriously.

Wild Bill
There's a career best performance from Hollywood royalty at the core of
this movie. There's an all time greatest movie scene in Bridges just
being carried out of a bar still sitting on his seat clutching his
drink. Wild Bill is one of the best little known gems you could hope
for.

Young Guns 2 - Blaze Of Glory
Better than the original? Sure is. This has flashbacks, THE gunfight at
the OK Corral and Jon Bon Jovi getting shot in the head. The soundtrack
and bigger budget add a dimension for sure, but the quality of the story
and that cooler than cool ensemble cast make this look like The
Breakfast Club does Grand Ole Oprey. And that's a very good thing

The Quick And The Dead
Gene Hackman Vs Sharon Stone via Leo DiCaprio, all looking as cool as comic book characters and showing out in every scene. This is a modern action movie by a genre master which just so happens to be a western also. Makes Back To The Future III look like a lame sequel... Or Something

Young Guns
The fact that Blaze Of Glory is higher in the list is no slur on the
original. Young Guns sets it's tone with a title sequence ripped
straight off from Peckinpah and submerges you in total uber western
from then on. This film is like a crash course in Cowboys and Indians movies

Last Man Standing
It is a Western despite some nitpicking from the Pub Quiz Brigade. Look
at the title 'fertriggersake. Willis is a total Clint thorughout the
whole Movie and Walter Hill ticks all of the boxes he laid out in
previous efforts. Ok so there's cars in it. But IT IS A WESTERN I TELLS YA! Look, I damn near put Serenity on
this list so...

Ride With The Devil
Mr 'One Genre At A Time' turns in a meditative and intelligent western
just as he turns in meditiative and intelligent Superheroes and equally
pitched Swingers when he turns his hand to it. The heart of it all gets you on an emotional
level quite easily. He doesn't tell a simple story and the machismo of
the genre is kept to a minimum. Jewel's performance is breathtaking and
some of the cinematography is dreamlike.

Open Range
Costner is a dish best served cold. He can really irk me sometimes. But the quality of this film had me gripped minutes in. It's understated and not dis-similar to Ang Lee's effort. But it has a classy feel which cannot be denied

Dead Man
Old Jamjar really knows how to rack up the loony meter and here he
finally gets some steadycam into the static frame and lets his
wonderful cast (Johnny Depp, Iggy Pop, Crispin Glover, Robert Mitchum,
John Hurt, Alfred Molina... It goes on) chomp at the scenery,
which looks terrifying and filthy in stark black and white. A unique
little film, and a highly original western.

Heaven's Gate
It may have the reputation as 'One of the biggest flops of all time'
but it's actually a pretty decent film. Over long and very ambitious,
hard to market and chock full of John Hurt it maybe. But if you've got
the time Heaven's Gate is full of reward.
