This is hard to do, as there are so many good ones.
My fav is Once Upon a Time in the West
The only time Fonda played the bad guy.

Wowser.... What a choice.
At this early hour, and with my sleep deprivation...
I would have to say Josey Wales...
There are a few that I watch every time they come on such as Pale Rider, Wyatt Earp, Tombstone but I think I have to go with Josey Wales as my favorite.This message has been edited. Last edited by: mrapteam666,

By far, my favorite. The ultimate American “morality play”.

I don't typically watch westerns, but I'd have to say High Noon is probably my favorite. It's the only western I own on DVD.
I also like:
Open Range Tombstone Wyatt Earp (I actually preferred Wyatt Earp to Tombstone) The Shootist Unforgiven

The Searchers. Not merely a great Western, but a great movie by any standards.

I hope some of you guys are better at picking a favorite wife than a favorite movie.

Yep, don't think it's possible to name just one as a favorite. I like many (most) of those mentioned so far.
I would add:
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and
True Grit (I like both, but give the nod to the Coen Brothers version)
