Have seen a lot of OLD westerns with John Wayne and the like, due to my dad being a huge fan of westerns when I was growing up. Not really a fan of most of them though.
Once Upon A Time In The West is INCREDIBLE. Just watched it again last week actually. Just absolutely love the tension and the build-up. Honestly haven't seen all of the Eastwood westerns. Don't even remember which one it is that I HAVE seen.
True Grit, 3:10 to Yuma (remake), TAOJJBTCRF (jesse james), and Tombstone, are all pretty fantastic.
I do like 'comedy' westerns too. Support Your Local Sheriff/Gunfighter are both great though it's been years since I've seen them.
Lonesome Dove is really good too.
Westerns are a genre that haven't gotten enough attention in modern cinema. Film makers could really do something fantastic with the budgets and tech that's out now.
