Favorites - Can't pick just one. Love The Cowboys, and The Shootist, the Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Man from Snowy River. One thats not a complete western in the traditional sense, but has Yul Brynner as the bad cowboy robot, was the movie - Westworld. I liked his quiet, bad guy demeanor.
Sawdust is some of the best learning material!

1995, Robert Mitchum's last film. Not one for the grandkids.Originally Posted by Bill Jobe

My wife and I loved everything Akira Kurosawa ever made and this was his best. I've heard that George Lucas was inspired by this in the making of Star Wars.
But like most, anything with Clint Eastwood or John Wayne usually works fine. Jimmie Stewart is always wonderful. Lee Marvin is another good guy.

I love that movie. The scene when Lee Marvin is drunk, sitting on his horse and leaning against the barn was really funny. Someone commented about his eyes looking so bad and he replied "You otta see 'em from my side.
No, and they should never have done a remake. Mitchum was believable in that movie. The remake was a high tech dud. Totally unbelievable.
Mitchum was perfectly cast. I did not know it was his last movie.

After 65 posts nobody has mentioned Randolph Scott. His movies didn't make my favorites but I was sure Ride the High Country would have been mentioned by someone.
