Too many to pick just one.

The Searchers
High Noon
Outlaw Josey Wales
Rio Bravo/El Dorado

Didn't Henry Fonda also play a bad guy in Firecreek opposite good guy Jimmy Stewart? (with Inger Stevens as eye candy).

I'll watch any western, at least to get a feel for it, and even liked Silverado for a while. Favorite, though?

The Searchers

Does Blazing Saddles count as a western?

If I can pick only one it is The Outlaw Josey Wales.

Yup, Pardner, it's a Western:

Another vote for Rio Bravo/El Dorado. My favorite is whichever of the two I happen to be watching at the time Big Grin .

The John Ford Cavalry Trilogy, Rio Grande, Fort Apache and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon would round out my top five.

This always happens in these threads. The man asked for your favorite. That means one only.

Why publish a long list of films? Tell us your favorite. That was the question.

He even starts out by saying it's hard to pick one film.

My fav is Once Upon a Time in the West

The only time Fonda played the bad guy.

My favorite is The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. As the OP said, it is hard to pick just one.

Hell, I'll drink a beer and watch any of those with you. Good choices. Anyone mention The Shootist? The one I can watch over and over is Support Your Local Sheriff. I always wait for my favorite line in the movie by Bruce Dern, "Oh, that's funny. That's real funny."
