We have had similar threads similar to this some years back,
but now with so many new members, and more releases,
perhaps now is a good time to ask the question again.What Are Your Favourite Non-Duke Westerns?

* = AddedWesterns have always been my favorite genre, by far, so in addition to those shown above, I used to spend hours as a kid watching weekend matinees with Hopalong Cassidy, Gene Autrey, Roy Rogers, Lash La Rue. Johnny Mack Brown, Tom Mix and other "B" grade stars. Some of those old "B" grade movies weren't bad but it's been so long ago, I can't remember all the titles. I especially liked Hopalong and Lash La Rue. After my family finally acquired a television, about 1950, I spent more hours watching broadcast TV Westerns, both movies and series.

Like ZS_Maverick I too enjoy the Western genre. There are many, many westerns that I enjoy but there are three mini series and two theatrical releases that make the top of my list:
LONESOME DOVE...the best western ever made not a mistep any where..."A man that wouldn't cheat doesn't want a poke bad enough."..."Just once in my life I'd like to shoot at an educated man."
CENTENNIAL.........every episode is good but the mountain men/cattle drive is top drawer
SON OF THE MORNING STAR....(and the companion piece CRAZY HORSE) certainly not totally correct but closer than any other visual representation to date
SHANE...still great after all these years and Jack Palance with "Prove it"...wow
BROKEN ARROW...Jimmy Stewart is very good but Jay Silverheels as Geronimo sends chills down your spine with..."This is Apache Land, it is Cochise Land and where Cochise lives...no white man can live!!!"Like the rest of you I can go on and on...MAJOR DUNDEE, TOMBSTONE, WILL PENNY, LAST COMMAND, 2004 ALAMO, OPEN RANGE, all TNT Tom Selleck movies...LITTLE BIG MAN, DANCES WITH WOLVES...I could be doing this all night

That's a pretty good western.Enjoyable with a tough cast.It was the one from only two movies Claudia Cardinale joined for the us.

There are a LOT of westerns that I like- love the mention of Calamity Jane earlier- but one of my absolutely favorite movies (and a non-Duke Western) is Escape From Fort Bravo. GREAT MOVIE
