What's shaking?

I'm doing research on Western's. What is your top 10. If you dont't have a top 10, then best, top 3 or 5 will do.

Peace in the Middle East
Brian De Palma “Repeat yourself-only better.”

I knew that if I had the chance to direct a film that it would be an unpleasant experience, which it was and still is and never ends because one has a million chances to control things and people. Especially people and things, things and people. Controlling people . . . it's just hateful, it's the most horrible thing in the world and I'm very vindictive and unforgiving and punishing and it's horrible. And I knew I would be sucked in and I would have to control the food at craft service and I would have to control everything and if one thing didn't go right I would have to punish everyone. -Vincent Gallo

I think Sergio Corbucci's Django series is by far the greatest of westerns.

I'm renting Dead Man from netflix...it should be on it's way soon. That movie looks fucking awesome. I'm gonna make a point to see The Good The Bad and The Ugly too. I can't believe I've never seen that...or The Wild Bunch, I've never seen that either.

I remember seeing this really bad one called True Grit. That's the only western I've seen that I haven't liked.

i consider Dances with Wolves to be a good western.
There are shadows in life, baby.
