Western Films to Watch

I want to share Western films that I find are worth watching. Anyone want to join in, please do.
My favorite Western of all time is "Rio Bravo." It just seems to have all the right elements. Without going into much of it's background, I have probably seen it more then any other Western. Of those that are a little more 'current,' I'd have to include; "Silverado," "Tombstone," "Open Range," and the remake of "3:10 to Yuma." Ah heck, "Appaloosa" should be on the list as well; plus Ed Harris' television version of "Riders of the Purple Sage," was very good.
Anybody out there want to share their favorites?
