2.  The Searchers [DVD] [1956] DVD ~ John Wayne

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid [DVD] [1969]
3.  Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid [DVD] [1969] DVD ~ Paul Newman
The list author says:
  "The movie that turned the genre on its head, made Redford a megastar & the first of 2 great pairings with Paul Newman & George Roy Hill. The 1liners alone make this one a classic - no bifocals needed."
£4.13   Used & New from: £1.18
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (31 customer reviews)

The Man With No Name Trilogy [DVD] [1967] [US Import]
4.  The Man With No Name Trilogy [DVD] [1967] [US Import] DVD ~ Clint Eastwood

Treasure of the Sierra Madre [DVD] [1948] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
5.  Treasure of the Sierra Madre [DVD] [1948] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] DVD ~ Humphrey Bogart
The list author says:
  "Western does noir, and who better to do it with than Hollywood's original cynical antihero? One of the darkest, most violent tales of futility and madness ever told. Bogart at his spine-chilling best!"
Used & New from: £7.15
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (11 customer reviews)

Rio Bravo [DVD] [1959]
6.  Rio Bravo [DVD] [1959] DVD ~ John Wayne
The list author says:
  "Howard Hawks's answer to "High Noon," Wayne as the quintessential pro, Deano as the town drunk and Walter Brennan as the epitome of grumpy. "That's all you got?" Yeah - but everyone counts ..."
£2.99   Used & New from: £1.06
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (31 customer reviews)

Desperado [DVD] [2011]
7.  Desperado [DVD] [2011] DVD ~ Antonio Banderas
The list author says:
  "Tarrantino buddy Robert Rodriguez's postmodern Western pyrotechnics. Antonio Banderas stars as the mysterious Mariachi, but sidekick Buscemi all but steals the show - and a guitar was never so lethal."
£6.98   Used & New from: £0.99
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (21 customer reviews)

The Wild Bunch [DVD] [1969]
8.  The Wild Bunch [DVD] [1969] DVD ~ William Holden
The list author says:
  "The swan song on the Old West and its movies only Peckinpah could've come up with. This ain't Butch Cassidy's "Wild Bunch" - and the final shootout is a seminal piece of the choreography of violence."
£6.00   Used & New from: £0.46
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (24 customer reviews)

Clint Eastwood: Westerner [DVD] [1992] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
9.  Clint Eastwood: Westerner [DVD] [1992] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] DVD ~ Clint Eastwood
The list author says:
  "The 2 movies that solidified Eastwood's image as the lone Western gunman ("Outlaw Josie Wales," "Pale Rider") and his critical 1992 revival of the genre ("Unforgiven"). They done him wrong ..."
Used & New from: £22.22
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (32 customer reviews)

John Wayne DVD Gift Set
10.  John Wayne DVD Gift Set DVD ~ John Wayne
The list author says:
  "A deck of the Duke's best, plus Hawks, Ford, Deano, Mitchum, Stewart, Caan & more. "El Dorado" is "Rio Bravo" redux, just gotta love old Rooster - and "The Shootist" is Wayne's personal legacy!"
Used & New from: £5.72

The Magnificent Seven (Special Edition) [DVD] [1960]
11.  The Magnificent Seven (Special Edition) [DVD] [1960] DVD ~ Yul Brynner
The list author says:
  "Japanese cinema goes West, Part 2 ("7 Samurai"). A star-studded morality tale on heroism, honor & things a man's gotta do. But ultimately they all lose...& the ride into the sunset is still lonely."
£3.97   Used & New from: £0.13

Ox-Bow Incident [DVD] [1943] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
12.  Ox-Bow Incident [DVD] [1943] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] DVD ~ Henry Fonda
The list author says:
  "Mob mentality, injustice and Henry Fonda standing up for civilization (in that, it's similar to his "12 Angry Men," but less clear-cut). Fonda's pet project, based on Walter Van Tilburg Clark's novel."
Used & New from: £5.55

  "Hawks & Wayne #1 (of 4), the cattle drive of cattle drives and mutiny, cowboy style (also off camera: Wayne vs. Montgomery Clift). Take 'em to Missouri, boys ... yeeehaaaww!!!"
£3.76   Used & New from: £0.95
4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (18 customer reviews)

The list author says:
  "Gunfight at the OK Corral, Take 1: Although not the most fact-based, the best of them all. Fonda as Wyatt Earp vs. Walter Brennan's Clanton; filmed by a director who actually knew Earp in person. Wow!"

20.  Pat Garret & Billy the Kid [VHS] (1973) VHS James Coburn
The list author says:
  "Another one of the great Western pairings, with rock star overtones both in the Kid's persona and in the involvement of Bob Dylan (and the Band). A Peckinpah classic ... why isn't this out on DVD??"

The list author says:
  "The centerpiece of Ford/Wayne's cavalry trilogy (parts 1&3: "Fort Apache" & "Rio Grande," Wayne's 1st of 5 w. Maureen O'Hara). Honor, duty & the great Western themes...nostalgic & blisfully uncliched!"

Shane [DVD] [1953]
23.  Shane [DVD] [1953] DVD ~ Alan Ladd
The list author says:
  ""Come back, Shane!" Alan Ladd's best film, epitomizing the genre's "good vs. evil" stance (Eastwood's "Pale Rider" in particular is "Shane" redux). And to think that Jack Palance couldn't even ride..."

Bad Girls [1993] [DVD]
24.  Bad Girls [1993] [DVD]
