My two favorites right now are
 
Open Range
 
and
 
Silverado.
 
Kevin Costner is in both and both he and Bob Duvall are outstanding in Open Range. My favorite character in Silverado is Kevin Kline. I've seen others I liked and I like most any movies, western or not, set in the 18th or 19th century.
Cowboys and Aliens... not so much.
The remake of True Grit was really good, IMO. 3:10 to Yuma was OK.. not great.
 
I like no BS characters like Capt. Woodrow Call in Lonesome Dove and Charley Waite (Costner) in Open Range.
 
Any suggestions?? What to watch...???

Quigley down under?  Kinda like, "an australian western."   In a genre all by itself...

I also like, "Kenny Rogers the Gambler series of flicks,"  but they are not real shoot em ups.

Quigly Down Under
Unforgiven
The Good, the Bad and the Weird (Chinese, no kidding)

Love, Love, Love:  "The Quick and The Dead."
