How about Captain Apachee?
Definately not number 1, but arround 20-25?

QuoteHigh Noon is a great film, but it shouldn't be on that list as it isn't a western, but a political thriller.

Well, if you're going to discard it, there's probably a few others on there that don't belong.  Considering what it's about, you could also argue Treasure of the Sierra Madre doesn't belong either.

It's a really widely stretched genre, fitting in more sub-genres than maybe any other.

Overall, I thought the list was OK.  Had all the obvious choices, and a few interesting ones (McCabe and Mrs. Miller doesn't get mentioned that often).

What's their #1 pick?  Man, I hate gimmicks!  "What's our #1 pick?  Click here and find out."    :hatred:  And what do I get?  A blank page.   :lookingup:  :hatred:  (It must be ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST)...

HIGH NOON ain't a Western?  Okay; I don't think that film is "great" anyway.  As pointed out by Jim H, TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE is way less a Western than HIGH NOON.
If you want to view paradise . . . simply look around and view it!
