I've decided to lay this down on paper. As a film fan, I am used to ranking things. Top 10's are part of my life. Therefore, I shall rank films by genre. Here is my first entry in the Top 10 list: Westerns
1. The Proposition- the most raw Western ever made, true to the form.
2. Unforgiven- like the Proposition, everything about it is what a Western should be
3. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid- the most entertaining Western, an ode to the adventurous spirit of the West
4. Once Upon A Time In The West- an epic only a Western could achieve
5. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly- It was the beginning of the modern Western
6. McCabe and Mrs. Miller- a real thinking man's Western and a tribute to those who dreamt of success in the west
7. Open Range- just a good, old-fashioned Western showdown
8. The Ox-Bow Incident- moral, ethical, and destructive consequences of the lawlessness that existed during the time
9. High Noon- the original showdown Western
10. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford- a brave and new vision of western epics, should be a staple for all Westerns to learn from in the future
And in a close 11 place....The Searchers....just cause you can't have a Western list without John Wayne
