West World (stretching it here with the genre, but Yul made a badass cowboy)

As Long as he wasn't opposite Steve McQueen I would agree.

Yup The Proposition was a good one, glad someone mentioned it.
The short lived TV series Firefly and subsequent movie Serenity have a space cowboy kinda thing going on that should appeal to a lot of fans of the western genre.

+1

Not a conventional western to be sure, but I think it counts. I get a real "the outlaw Josie wales" vibe from it, with all the post civil war Wild West parallels in the show.

Haven't seen the Magnificent Seven mentioned yet. Good one, for sure. Also:
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid
The Sons of Katie Elder
Maverick

Many of my other favorites already noted:

Silverado,
True Grit
Rooster Cogburn
The Cowboys
Support your Local Sheriff
Rio Bravo (and a young, hot Angie Dickinson!!!)
Rio Lobo
El Dorado

I almost hate to bring it up because this one has 2 potential strikes against it (it is set in the CA Gold Rush and is actually a musical featuring a ballad by none other than Clint Eastwood): Paint Your Wagon. Absolutely Hilarious!

I almost forgot Man in the Wilderness and Broken Trail. Both based on true stories.

Speaking of Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid,When I was a young teen,I had a buddy who's given name was Butch Cassidy. 1 guess what they called me!...I also went to jr high with Buffalo Bill's great grandson. He showed me pics I'd never seen before from his family's collection. For that matter,my wifes grandfather taught Johnny Wisemuller how to swim (Tarzan).

McCabe and Mrs. Miller, always a favorite of mine.

I'm young so I wasn't alive when most of these were filmed. I'll list top 5 only as the lists of 20 are pointless.

1. Once Upon a Time in the West
2. Pale Rider
3. The Cheyenne Social Club
4. Silverado
5. One Foot in Hell

Wow, my dad wasn't even born when One Foot in Hell was released.

Maybe already mentioned, but deadwood was very good, not just by the genre, but overall just damned well done
