So IGN is all about video games, but their Top 25 Westerns List is very interesting. On their site there's a lot of conversation about older movies not being realistic, and newer movies, like Open Range, being left out. Here's their list.

1. Once Upon a Time in the West
2. Unforgiven
3. High Noon
4. Shane
5. The Wild Bunch
6. The Searchers
7. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
8. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
9. The Magnificent Seven
10. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
11. Rio Bravo
12. The Outlaw Josie Wales
13. My Darling Clementine
14. Tombstone
15. The Professionals
16. 3:10 to Yuma (2007)
17. McCabe & Mrs Miller
18. The Naked Spur
19. Will Penny
20. Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid
21. A Fist Full of Dollars
22. The Gunfighter
23. Silverado
24. Little Big Man
25. The Treasure of the Sierra Madre

An unusual group for sure. Who knows if the group selecting them really knew anything about the Old West.

Everyone has their own opinion, but to me, several should not have been included for Top 25: Once Upon a Time in the West? 3:10 to Yuma 2007? (The original 3:10 was far superrior to the remake. Mccabe & Mrs. Miller?

I'd have to add Winchester 73, True Grit, Open Range,, Dances With Wolves, Lonesome, and a slew of others.
