Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.00
THE film that got me into the genre. so stylish it hurts! although Eastwood is undeniably great, i've always felt Van Cleef steals both this and For a Few.....
Open Range [2004]Open Range [2004]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.94
The best of its genre for a long, long time. beautifully filmed, with an exciting climax that throws all cliche's on their heads! The romance is genuinely sweet too, which is rare!
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid [1969]Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid [1969]

The quintessential buddy movie. two utterly charismatic leads and a timeless appeal.
Rio Bravo [1959]Rio Bravo [1959]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.84
By far my favourite Wayne movie. laid back, inoffensive, with colourful characters. the singing scene is class!
For A Few Dollars More (Special Edition) [1965]For A Few Dollars More (Special Edition) [1965]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.99
Recently i would say that this has overtaken The Good, the bad.... as my favourite Dollars' movie. again, Van Cleef steals the show! Haunting soundtrack too
The Wild Bunch [1970]The Wild Bunch [1970]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.43
Like Unforgiven, a dark, gritty look at the end of an era. Like Open Range, these men have real honour! classic ending, like Scarface, but times four!!
Tombstone [1993]Tombstone [1993]
Buy used from: £17.50
one of the best of its genre in modern years. Russell is great as ever and Kilmer a revelation! some cool one-liners, particularly from Kilmer.
True Grit [1969]True Grit [1969]
Buy new: £5.98 / Used from: £4.37
Criminally underrated Wayne epic, with his finest performance this side of Rio Bravo.
The Outlaw Josey Wales [1976]The Outlaw Josey Wales [1976]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.33
Some great characters, a great soundtrack and an unexpected ending *spoiler alert!* does he live or does he die? We'll never know!
Dances with Wolves (Three Disc Special Edition) [1991]Dances with Wolves (Three Disc Special Edition) [1991]
Buy used from: £21.90
Anything which portrays the Native Americans as heroes is worthy in my book! the end chokes me every time! More Wes Studi would have made it even better, as he rules!
The Magnificent Seven (Special Edition) [1960]The Magnificent Seven (Special Edition) [1960]
Buy new: £4.78 / Used from: £2.09
One question i always pray comes up in a pub quiz: name the whole seven! Easy!
The Long Riders [1980]The Long Riders [1980]

Quigley Down Under [1990]Quigley Down Under [1990]
Buy used from: £5.49
Magnum on horesback! Ok it's no "Unforgiven," but as saturday night popcorn movies go, you can't miss. both light-hearted and serious in equal measures!
Deadwood: Complete HBO Season 1 [2004]Deadwood: Complete HBO Season 1 [2004]
Buy new: £13.98 / Used from: £10.00
The greatest TV series ever!!! Faultless, from the acting to the period detail, to the dialogue laced with pitch black humour! Masterpiece! Same goes for series two.
