He's really good in "Second Hand Lions", too. One of my favorite non-westerns.

I'd add to the many movies listed (maybe not truly "westerns"): Quigly Down Under, Dances with Wolves and Little Big Man.

I like western movies! Some of my favorites are:
Fort Apache
She Wore A Yellow Ribbon
Stagecoach
Open Range
Red River
Wyatt Earp
Unforgiven
Pale Rider
The Searchers
Rio Bravo
Jesse James
The Return Of Frank James
Lots of cigars in these movies too!

Although typically not considered a western in the same breath as the period pieces (i.e. The Searchers), it would be hard to find a more iconic "modern" western character than Paul Newman's Hud in the film of the same name.

I've always appreciated the anti-hero aspect of many Westerns. My all-time favorite would have to be "The Professionals." I like how it covers the time period when the traditional Old West was starting to give way to the modern era of automobiles. Plus Burt Lancaster makes for a great scene-chewing villain.

I'm a fan of period pieces generally, just add Dances With Wolves to the mix.

Watched The Assassination of Jess James by the Coward Robert Ford last week. That too.

Just finished True Grit. Great movie!!!!
