8. I've seen pretty much ALL of the classic / John Ford / John Wayne Westerns...

...plus the second wave "spaghetti Westerns" and such, and I still love them all, but having said that...

...Tombstone gets my vote for the greatest Western ever made.

9. Howard Hawks, For "Red River." (n/t)

[El Supremo]

11. The Searchers blows them all away.

John Ford.

The only non John Ford western that is in his category is Shane by George Stevens.

12. I prefer the westerns at the IHOP, but those at Shoney's aren't bad either.

13. The Italians. After they were done, all the genre needed was a decent burial.

Calabria looks way more like the American west than the American west does.
