A great choice, a really off beat Western, James Coburn and the late great Elliah wallich, spelling wrong. Lt Kudu.

Great choice again, this has proved so many to chose from, I will mention Open Range with Kevin Cosner and Robert Duvall, amazing scenery and big scale that Kevin Cosner does well when he makes a good one, also love his version of wyatt Earrp a hero of mine. Lt Kudu.

The Star Trek episode Spectre of the Gun is a great sci fi / western crossover. Worth hunting down if you haven’t seen it - I think it’s on Netflix.

Wouldn't know where to start , I like a lot , from spaghetti westerns to the John Ford films , Magnificent 7 . Couldn't pick a top ten let alone a top one . Far too many quality films . Even sci fi Westworld as well . I do think Fistful of Dollars is better than Good ,bad and the ugly ......but both are great .

Yes I keep on remembering others now, the big country, searchers, the man from the east,but if I had to pick one possibly Pale Rider? On so many levels, the settings, the mystery and of course Clint in his long coat,and it has a line in it that would not be allowed today. Lt Kudu.

Yes another classic, I prefer the original to the remake, the original has one of the best casts in film history, Coburn,mqueen,Vaughan, bryner and more, fucking class and great musical score. Lt Kudu.

The top class. Saw three or four in service right at the tail-end of their duties, and a load more on a tour of Swindon Works scrapyard. My fave is my first: Western Patriarch.

Yes.The first of the trilogy 'fistful' was a bit rough and amateurish.I never enjoyed that one much, nowhere as much as the two follow ups.Pale Rider was a great too.

Greatkudu- I don't think Eli Wallach was in Dynamite.Rod Steiger?
