I've been on a Western kick lately and have been going through the Ranown cycle (as well as some others).
The Tall T - 9/10 - Great western, one of my favorites of all time. Scott's interaction with the bad guys is wonderful and the plot, while simple, is very engaging.
Buchanan Rides Alone - 8/10 - Another good Western, the whole town initially seems against Scott, but then seemingly more and more cracks evolve in the Agry family's grip over it as Scott undermines them.
Decision at Sundown - 6/10 - Probably my least favorite of the Ranown cycle, although still a pretty exciting film. Some of the things Scott's character does seems completely illogical (even for a late '50s western).
Silver City - 7/10 - Edmund O'Brien western, set during the silver rush in California. Very fun film, and the final chase through the sawmill is well done. Neat seeing Richard Arlen also as O'Brien's former friend and co-worker. Beautiful technicolor.
The Train - 9/10 - gripping Burt Lancaster masterpiece. Lots of action and the tension is unbelievable. What a great WW2 film. Everything The Monuments Men wasn't.
