Another film I'd add is The Gunfighter (1950), with Gregory Peck in the lead. I don't like spoiling an ending like that, but on a video topic like this, it seems fine just now. Besides, what makes the film great is watching the psychological journey of Greg's character throughout it, not just wondering about the ending shootout and who wins it. This was a great list full of powerful classics. Well done.

you missed out "Hombre" (1967) one of Paul Newman`s best parts as John Russell who dies saving the very people who distrusted him..

Just for the record, the final scene in the book "The Shootist" was exactly the opposite of the morality play in the movie. Gillam kept the gun, and walked away from Books enjoying the adrenaline buzz from shooting the bartender.

@kenhawkins1033 Must be the shared first name! 😉👍 Seriously, several years ago, there was an article in 'Guns of the Old West' magazine about a duplicate matched pair of etched Colts with pre-ban ivory grips that were to be raffled off for charity, I think. MAN, but they were magnificent! 👍😎

I can't think of many scenes as sad as the letter reading one in The Ox-Bow Incident. Two other contenders, the deaths of Frenchie and Deputy Dimsdale in Destry Rides Again. And a whole lotta heroes die in The Alamo (pick your version).

Missing several as well as Hombre and The Gunfighter. Ride The High Country with Joel McCrea 1962. Major Dundee with Richard Harris 1965. Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid with Kris Kristofferson 1973. Death of A Gunfighter 1969 with Richard Widmark. Ulazana's Raid 1972 with Burt Lancaster. And may be squeeze in The Culpepper Cattle Co. 1972, Showdown 1973. P.S. Many think Shane was dead at the end of the film as his horse is ridding through a grave yard.

~ How’s about The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence, where poor, defenseless do gooder Liberty, the hero of the tale, who was just minding his own business, was ruthlessly gunned down (Wayn’s shot was a blank, little publicized fact) by the notoriously demented Rance for no reason I can decipher whatsoever, the kind of villainous character James Stewart is infamous for? ~

Interesting list. I would have included Shane, though I still like to think he survived. You could have included Clint Eastwood’s ghost movies, High Plains Drifter & Pale Rider as the hero is already dead at the start of each movie.

@@earlleeruhf3130 The film leaves it open to interpretation but I think he is the avenging spirit of a man Marshal Stockburn had killed in the past. My reasons: The Preacher is an almost immediate answer to Megan’s prayer. He rides a pale horse which I think references Revelations 6 v7-8 “I looked and behold an ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death.” So I believe Preacher was a supernatural being. The scars we see on Preacher’s back are identical to the bullet holes he shoots into Marshall Stockburn during their gunfight. Interestingly Preacher issues the coup de grace with a shot to the forehead, something Marshall Stockburn hadn’t done to Preacher in an earlier life. Stockburn recognizes Preacher at the last second as a man he previously killed (or thought he killed?) Finally Preacher and his pale horse kind of eerily disappear at the end as Megan urges him to come back and we love you, an obvious reference to Shane, a dying man riding into the sunset.
