Open Range. <--- Not too bad for a costner movie. Lots of people died. I liked it alot.

+1 on Open Range. If you have not seen it, definitely rent it.

Lots of great classics mentioned here but High Plains Drifter is my favorite Clint one. If you've only seen it on TV, then you haven't really seen it. Get the uncut version and you get some nice gory scenes + the very controversial uncut scene where he's basically raping that chick in the barn until she starts enjoying it. No, you will not ever see this scene on TV...ever.

When was the last time you saw the real movie on TV? Cut to shyte. Edited for content; time alotted; swear words; violence; non-pc words. And then, the 20 minutes per hour of commercials.

Saving Private Ryan?

Anyway, I completely agree with what you say. The point I'm making is that most people's experiences with Clint's spaghetti westerns were on TV, and they come on often enough that it's not someone's first choice to rent when they're at the video store so most people haven't seen his spaghetti westerns in their full glory.

Re: the best western movie...

Hard to say but, it's definitely a Clint movie. Maybe Unforgiven... that movie kicks ass! His spaghetti western trilogy is awesome.. The Good the Bad and the Ugly, For a Few Dollars More, and Fist Full of Dollars. I can watch those movies over and over again.
