Some of my favorite westerns are:

Magnificient Seven
One Eyed Jacks
Poncho Villa
Wild Bunch
My Name is Nobody (Henry Fonda & Terrance Hill)
Long Riders
Dusk till Dawn III (Hangmans Daughter)
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Los Locos

Believe it or not I haven't really seen any Clint Eastwood films all the way through. I do remember liking Outlaw Josie Wales.

Yeah, I hate Best Westerns.  Some of the cheapest hotels I've ever stayed in. . . what?

I'm really not much for westerns.  I like UNFORGIVEN and the Man With No Name trilogy.

But my favorite western, bar none (and I don't play favorites), is ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST.  I liked it so much I ran out and bought the soundtrack.  It really needs a deluxe DVD treatment.
Every dead body that is not exterminated becomes one of them. It gets up and kills. The people it kills, get up and kill.

I enjoy Eastwood's "no name" series, Two Mules For Sister Sarah, High Noon, Westworld (that's a Western, right?), Rooster Cogburn and even McLintok!.

I love westerns. Not all of them, sure. My favourites would be some by Sam Peckinpah (Cable Hogue and The Wild Bunch, but not Patt Garret & Billy the Kid, though this one has some great moments) and specially Clint Eastwood ones. His early westerns are OK, but I really prefer the ones he has directed himself, they are more mature. Pale rider, The outlaw Jesse Whales & Unforgiven are just incredible.
Due to the horrifying nature of this film, no one will be admitted to the theatre.

Hummm....
The Wayne school: Red River...Rio Bravo....Sons of Katie Elder...True Grit...

The Eastwood school: A fistfull of Dollars....For a few dollars more...Hang 'em high...Unforgiven....The G, the B, and the Ugly...

The public school: Magnificent Seven...Will Penny...My name is Nobody...
Hummm.....harder then it looks!

Westerns can be either very good or mucho crappy. The very good; The Searchers, The Shootist, The Magnificent Seven, Butch and Sundance, San Antonio(so...I like Errol Flynn), My Darling Clementine, Destry Rides Again,Law and Order(NOT the Ronald Reagan version). The mucho crappy; any western with James Cagney and/or Humphrey Bogart in it(Hey they're good...but in a western?) Law and Order(the Ronald Reagan version), Almost any western made in the mid-sixties.

Everyone has potentially fatal flaws, but yours involve a love of soldiers' wives, an insatiable thirst for whiskey, and the seven weak points in your left ventricle.
