I agree with you all that UNION PACIFIC is the ultimate Western, and I also agree with you all that is the greatest Western ever made. No sane person could deny that, I agree. Of course there will be some Beavis and Butthead clones who will have some one read this post to them, and they'll stammer their incoherent garble in protest, but I'd appreciate it if no one read this post to those illiterate dorks who refuse to admit UNION PACIFIC is the ultimate Western.
Still, some Westerns come close to challenging UNION PACIFIC, and as the obvious Western expert here, I'll name most of the contenders:
Shane
Hombre
Ride the High Country
The Man From Colorado
The Man From Laramie
Bend of the River
From Hell to Texas
The Intruders
The Bravados
Walk the Proud Land
Posse From Hell
Bullet For a Badman
Night Passage
The Naked Spur
The Tin Star
Seven Men From Now
Fort Apache
Rio Grande
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence
The Commancheros
True Grit
Rio Lobo
El Dorado
The Searchers
The Last Hunt
Gunman's Walk
High Noon
Along Came Jones
The Westerner
Springfield Rifle
Ride With the Devil
Bad Company
Barbary Coast
Money, Women, and Guns
Western Union
North West Mounted Police
Canadian Pacific
The Way West
The Indian Fighter
Westward Ho
Hang Em High
Joe Kidd (to make Eastwood's geek fans happy, since this is easily his second best Western to Hang Em High. It does have the most interesting crew of villains)
There are more, but none match the inspiration and character of UNION PACIFIC
Glad you all agree.
