Westerns

I love westerns, seems a lost art now. No more western heroes like John Wayne, Randolph Scott or even Clint Eastwood ( Clint has "retired" from acting ). To me the Western genre "grew up" in the 50's and we got thw wonderful "spaghetti westerns" of the 60's and although we got a few classic movies in the 70's the genre just started to die off. Changing times or young people just didn't care for a good western and wanted SF and Horror movies instead.
I have a wonderful memory of watching John Wayne and Kirk Douglas in The War Wagon at the local theater back in 1967.
Here's a list of Western movies i think are classic or just a good film to watch. Most are on DVD i think.
