Walter Brennan was classic in that movie. He looked like he was having the time of his life.

Didn't occur to me there was a remake.

There were 2 remakes. The one with Ann-Margaret, and 80's TV movie version with Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings.

Yeah, that's probably my favorite as well.
Even though it was a mini-series and not technically a movie.

Broken Trail is right up there, too.

Gonna have to go with Outlaw Josey Wales. Great movie.

Several honorable mentions here, but I always appreciated that in Eastwood's version of the west, the "hero" isn't, so much, a hero at all. Also, they tended to acknowledge that you'd look pretty scruffy and smelly after a few weeks on the range, versus always well put together and dust free.

I always found it interesting that in the TV westerns, be it Bonanza, Gunsmoke, Cheyenne, whatever, they always wore the same outfit, week after week. Talk about smelly !

You mean the John Huston film, and not the Clint Eastwood film, right?
