havent watched many hayes code or pre-code westerns but i fuckin love spaghettis and some modern westerns.

some personal recs:

stagecoach: basically the first action movie, invented all the cool shots and lots of the early gimmicks. kind of racist, john wayne is a hack, but hell if you didnt have this you wouldnt have terminator. real good poo poo

dollars trilogy: utterly indispensable. i like a few dollars more best (objectively wrong opinion) but it and the good the bad and the ugly are absolutely godlike. also definitely watch yojimbo before a fistful of dollars

once upon a time in the west: the other incredible leone western. absolutely fuckin majestic, super cool

the wild bunch: closest we're ever going to get to a blood meridian movie. the ending is still jaw-dropping

power of the dog: best original western made in the last 25 years. jesse plemons rules, cumberbatch is actually a fuckin good actor

true grit (remake): coen brothers. incredible.

unforgiven: really fuckin good, says the quiet part of most westerns loud

The True Grit remake is really loving good. The original is pretty decent, but it's an example of when the remake outshines the original.

absolutely. originals just a good john wayne flick, remake is vastly better
