Jeremiah Johnson (1972) - Stars Robert Redford as real-life trapper John Johnston who was nicknamed "Crow Killer." Was originally to star Clint Eastwood in the title role and to be directed by Sam Pekinpah. They're both good, but it's fine just as it is.
Winchester '73 (1950) - James Stewart and Shelley Winters star in this movie about a gun. The DVD features an audio commentary given by Stewart himself. The only DVD commentary he ever did.
The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976) - Another of the best Eastwood westerns. In fact, Eastwood says it's his personal favorite of all the films he's made. Was nominated for Best Original Score but lost to The Omen.
My Darling Celementine (1946) - Tells the story of what actually went down at the OK Corral, which, by the way, is a little less legendary than legend has it. Was selected to the National Film Registry, Library of Congress, in 1991
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) - John Wayne again in another John Ford film. This also stars James Stewart, Vera Miles, and Lee Marvin. Marks the first instance of John Wayne calling someone "Pilgrim."

Little Big Man (1970) - Stars Dustin Hoffman and Faye Dunaway. Begins as Hoffman's character, Jack Crabb, is about 100 years old. Evokes a wide range of emotions and is guaranteed to make a grown man cry.
Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) - John Huston directed Humphrey Bogart in this treasured classic. Features one of the most memorable movie quotes to be made more famous by a different movie. "Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges" which of course, is more widely know from 1986's Three Amigos!
Rio Bravo (1959) - Howard Hawks directed this star-studded film that features John Wayne, Angie Dickinson, Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson, Walter Brennan, Claude Akins, and more.
