Just curious...

Mine:

Barbarosa
The unique team-up of Willie Nelson & Gary Busey, in an equally unique, haunting story.

The Missouri Breaks
Nicholson vs Brando... you need to know more?

'Dead man'
Late entry into the 'Western' Genre, this intense Jim Jarmusch film features Johnny Depp as an accountant turned gunslinger, trapped in a downward spiral in the Wild West.

Cat Ballou -- of course, it was that Tim Strawn pic, put me in mind of this movie-- Jane Fonda gives a feminist-dream performance as a farmer's daughter-turned-outlaw. But, MAN this movie is colorful: Singing narrators-- one of them is Nat 'King' Cole; Lee Marvin turns in not one but TWO brilliant character-performances--the villainous Tim Strawn, who once got his nose bit off in a fight, is a strange as he is scary.

Cat Ballou has what's probably one of my favorite movie scenes of all time; when the gunslinger gets dressed for the big showdown-- link below, starts at about 5:15--

Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid--- wasn't sure to even include this one; it goes without saying, the perfect Western.

Not to pick a fight, but I liked the original (Yojimbo) over the Eastwood version.

I agree completely, the original Yojimbo is superior to the Eastwood re-imagination.
I like the Western Eastwood version, but Yojimbo, with Mifune, is a masterpiece. I
run out of superlatives when I talk about Mifune's Yojimbo.

I like the anthropological view of the west more than the shoot'em up styles.

There are probably more that I'm not thinking of at the moment.

Hahaha--- 'Duck, You Sucker' also known as 'A Fistful Of Dynamite'. I remember seeing this movie, the FIRST week we got cable back when I was in the 7th grade! James Coburn, as a mad Irish bomber, toolin' his way thru Mexico.

Ouch, that Firefly list hits a little too close to home...

- Being a hardcore fan of show with only 14 episodes
"Yeah, but...but they were the best 14 episodes on TV in 30 years..."

- To watch TV's Castle just so you can see Nathan Fillion
"Yeah, but...but it's not Castle, it's really Mal, our Captain, in some weird
alternative time-line...did I mention that Firefly should never have been
canceled? Still pissed off about that? Yeah..."
