P.S. the only reason 1969’s Tepepa is not on here is because I have not seen it, but I am hoping it comes to DVD here in the States one day.

Hmmm….no “Have Gun,Will Travel” is interesting. The writing on that show is light years ahead of what most westerns would even try. But “Maverick” made it……
You have “Lawman” the series which I totally agree with but Burt Lancaster made a film in 1971 called “Lawman” which was extremely well done and violent as all hell. Its a great film.
But no Paladin……the cheetah’s feelings are going to be hurt.
A huge list, John. Good to see Bone Tomahawk in there, but I prefer the original version of True Grit, so probably wouldn’t include the Coen’s remake. This is my own take on the genre, from 2013.

Best wishes, Pete.
John, This is an interesting and comprehensive list (and I’m glad “Near Dark” made it) but I was surprised not to see Hell or High Water (2016) or Wind River (2017). Alan
It looks like you’ve named them all! 😉 Rio Bravo is my favorite.
Thank you for reminding me about Have Gun – Will Travel. I think I was interesting in getting this done as fast as possible because I love Westerns as much as I love horror films. The cheetah can now be rest assured that I have added it in 🙂 He can now cheer up 🙂 Anyway, thanks for dropping by 🙂
P.S. It has been a while since I saw Lawman with Burt Lancaster so I think a rewatch is in order. And your praise of it makes me want to watch it at the moment 🙂
I just left a reply under that link of yours 🙂 Bone Tomahawk is truly fantastic indeed. Anyway, thanks for dropping by 🙂
Hell or High Water and Wind River are Westerns (Neo-Westerns in this case) that I greatly admire more than I adore, but they are very good in my opinion make no mistake. Anyway, thanks for dropping by Alan 🙂
I too love 1959’s Rio Bravo and it would probably be my second favorite Howard Hawks Western after 1952’s The Big Sky, which stared Kirk Douglas. Anyway, thanks for dropping by 🙂
Reblogged this on The Inner Circle.
I had to re-blog this excellent entry,John…..and you in turn have inspired me to start reviewing “HGWT” as I have the entire series. That is if can I can ever catch up with my reviews!!!
There are too many westerns I haven’t seen…
Epic list John. I grew up watching westerns and it’s great to see so many of my favourites amongst your selections. Major Dundee is actually showing on television over here this afternoon. It’s a shame we’ll never see Peckinpah’s film as he intended it, but it’s not a bad way to pass a couple of hours. Speaking of Peckinpah, I was pleased to see Junior Bonner made your list. I love that film, very atypical Peckinpah and McQueen has rarely been better.
Hi!
I was so happy to see the Coen brother’s True Grit!
Also Rango and From Dust Till Dawn, lol !!
I can think of one you missed, but you probably missed it on purpose: Last Man Standing. It was kind of an homage to the death of Westerns, I think, but…. not bad?
Haven’t seen it in many years, tho.
I too wish that Peckinpah could have had it released the way he wanted it. I read somewhere that he considered Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia to be his personal favorite because it was one of the few (If not only) films of his that he had complete control without any studio interference – big or small. Junior Bonner is also a great one and yes, I think Peckinpah was the greatest filmmaker that McQueen ever worked with. Anyway, thanks for dropping by 🙂
Last Man Standing was good, but not great or even very good. Nevertheless, it is entertaining. Glad you enjoyed the list 🙂 Anyway, thanks for dropping by 🙂
Yeah, I don’t remember every detail–so long ago–but it made an impression on my memory, for sure. So “entertaining” must be the word, at the very least. I also realized you had “Near Dark” on there too. Most people aren’t even aware that movie exists!
🙂
