   Even though its a dead genre . . . been watching a few lately and I've decided my favorite western is Peckinpaugh's The Wild Bunch.
   
   Anyone else have a favorite?

      How about a western omlette? Sounds good to me!

   Oh, probably The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.  I love pre-Clint Westerns, too, though.

   I would go with the classics Wild Bunch, A Few Dollars More, Good Bad Etc.
   
   However Open Range was very poignant, and very brutal to some extent.
   
   I would have to say though Once Upon a Time in the West... pure Bronson Power... is my favorite.

   Of the old Hollywood westerns, I'd have to go with the original Stagecoach and High Noon. Of more recent oaters, I'd go with McCabe and Mrs. Miller and the remake of True Grit.

    Difficult one because I absolutely adore the western genre and would have to say it’s not dead, just sleeping, lol.
    
    Anyway I adore the original “True Grit”, I think “Once Upon a Time in the West” is a master-piece and the likes of “Open Range” and “Appaloosa” are pretty decent modern takes on the genre. But then I could go on with the likes of “The Rare Breed” and “Fort Apache” which are just as impressive.

    Agree with everyone who's mentioned a Duke or Clint movie, but I think my all-time favorite is the Magnificent Seven, which was basically a western remake of an old, silent Japanese film classic, the Seven Samurai.

       Yeah, I love The Magnificent Seven.  Yul is hilarious...he struts like a cowboy dancer.
