2) Fist Full of Dollars Clint Eastwood's starmaker, with a great soundtrack by Ennio Morricone.

Silverado

Does Hidalgo count? It's one of the only ones I own.

Blazing Saddles

Yeah, so obviously I'm not a huge fan of westerns. But these are good.

This list is in no particular order, and is subject to change.

The Wildbunch (Sam Peckinpaw's masterpiece) 8)

Harry Tracy (Well, it's not a great movie, but I'll give an outlaw of my own Pacific Northwest his cinematic due) :roll:

Tombstone (while the movie making in itself pales before Wyatt Earp, I still prefer this film)

The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly (maybe one of the funniest movies I've ever watched)

Unforgiven

Young Guns (I know, brat pack on horse back, still, I loved it) :oops:

Young Guns II (Based on the Brushy Bill Roberts hoax, plus brat pack on hose back, still I loved it) :oops:

The Ballad Of Little Joe

Heaven's Gate (A greatly flawed movie, based very poorly on history, but I can't help but like it) :roll:

-Bill, otherwise known as Kraichgauer

A well-made copy, a successful copy, and, unlike Seven Samurai, it is a Western. Which is what the topic is about. Really, it's very existence stands as a compliment to Kurosawa's work, and no one has ever made a secret of the fact that The Magnificent Seven is a remake. Do I prefer Seven Samurai? Yeah. But that's not really the point.

So, yeah, it's a copy. But it's not "just" a copy. It's a danged good movie in its own right.
