60. My two are the Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and The Ox Bow Incident.

I voted for “High Noon.”
Twenty years from now a list like this could include “Hostiles.” I really liked it a lot but these are some great works of filmmaking and they’ve withstood the test of time quite well. And “Hostiles” is still in the theatres.
I also liked “Pale Rider” a lot, although it obviously borrowed a lot from “Shane.”
