I could rattle off A ton more but these came to mind!
And when he shall die
Take him and cut him into little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night,
And pay no worship to the garish sun.

Mmm... those two are great, although a bit flawed. "Major Dundee" has finally been restored in a special edition that tries to solve the continuity problems and provide a more satisfying experience. I hope somebody ends up doing the same for "McKenna's Gold", they say the original cut was around three hours long.
Due to the horrifying nature of this film, no one will be admitted to the theatre.

These are the only westerns I own (and the majority of what I've seen):

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly--As I've mentioned, this is the best!
Once Upon a Time in the West--A pretty remarkable film.
The Ox-Bow Incident--Very fine movie.
Unforgiven--Harsh and wonderful.
Django--Good fun!
My Darling Clementine--Excellent, excellent movie! 
The Wild Bunch--Not my favorite, but it's a very good film.
The Great Silence--A bleak movie, but worthwhile.
God's Gun/Kid Dynamite (crappy Digiview DVD)--God's Gun is horrible!  But it has some funny bits.  I haven't watched Kid Dynamite
High Plains Drifter--A bit odd but good.
My Name is Nobody--Not everything in it works, but it's still a great movie.
Rio Bravo (actually, I haven't watched this yet)

Others I've seen that qualify as westerns:

Dances With Wolves--Decent film from what I remember.
Old Yeller--Tragic!
The Terror of Tiny Town-- :teddyr:

THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY is by far my favorite, but I would also put the following in my top 10:

A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS
FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE
ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST
THEY CALL ME NOBODY
THEY CALL ME TRINITY
TRUE GRIT
RED RIVER
DJANGO
UNFORGIVEN

I could never seem to get into Westerns as a genre although the names in some B-movie Westerns do pique my interest a bit. The only Western I own (on VHS) is HIGH NOON. Have to admit to enjoying WESTWORLD if one could really call that a Western and the Twilight Zone episode set in the Old West.

"The Shootist" is a great one. I've always considered a precedent of "Unforgiven", because it was directed by one of EEastwood's mentors, Don Siegel.
Due to the horrifying nature of this film, no one will be admitted to the theatre.
