Any list without Leone is kidding itself. No way can I take it seriously. He directed what I consider my top 4 Westerns. (Haven't even seen Fistfull of Dynamite, that reminds me that I need to.)Orlion wrote:Here's the List, for those interested in giving their opinion on them to me... I've only seen Unforgiven and High Noon:
10. Cat Ballou
9. Stagecoach
8. McCabe & Mrs. Miller
7. Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid
6. The Wild Bunch
5. Red River
4. Unforgiven
3. Shane

Once Upon a Time in the West might be one of my top 5 movies of all time.
Edit: Yeah, forgot that it was an AFI list. But it's weird to count them as foreign. They were really more a collaboration between American and European talent. Not sure if they should count as foreign or not. Would be a bit like counting LOTR as foreign for being a New Zealand film. What makes it american or foreign? Finance? Directing? Location? Release? The line isn't always clear.
