The Magnificent 7 reminds me of The Wild Bunch.
EDIT-Not because they're similar...just that Magnificent 7 makes me think of the Dirty Dozen and then I make the connect to the Wild Bunch, even though Dirty Dozen isn't a western.

Didn't care for Wyatt Earp. Probably because Kurt Russell did so well with the character in Tombstone.
And I really can't say enough about how good Tombstone is. I was a western fan long before that movie came out, but I think it's just about perfect. One of my favorite films of any genre.

Absolutely. Val's portrayal of Doc was the performance of a lifetime, and elevated a good movie to a classic.

I'm not a huge Western fan but Butch Cassidy is probably my favourite movie of all time. I havn't seen a lot of those on your list.
I liked Open Range. Some of it's quite drab but there are a number of great scenes.

It'd take you a long time to blow up or shoot all the sheep in this country, but one diseased banana...could kill 'em all.
I didn't even know sheep ate bananas.
