I'm not a real Cowboy, but I play one in the movies.

Okay, Fine!

Billy Budd at American Dinosaur insisted I do a list of great Westerns.

10. Ghost Rock (straight to video-cool, but let's go on.)
9. Pale Pider
8. El Dorado
7. High Plains Drifter
6. High Chaparral (TV Series)
5. Blazing Saddles
4. Young Guns
3. Eastwood's Man with No Name Series
2. High Noon
1. Unforgiven

Update: Thanks for all the suggestions in the comments! It pains me that none of the films featuring John Wayne, Henry Fonda, and other old greats haven't bubbled up higher in my memory. There ought to be a Western Channel that dusts off great flicks like The Undefeated, Cat Ballou, Rio Lobo or Bravo, or whatever, a lot more regularly than Turner does.

    And on Saturday mornings, they could show the old half-hour "Roy Rogers Show", "Hopalong Cassidy", "Sky King", and "The Lone Ranger".
