My 10 favorite Westerns

A multi-media list, off the top of my head:

1. Red Dead Redemption (video game)
2. Lonesome Dove (book)
3. The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly** (film)
4. Deadwood (TV)
5. Blood Meridian (book)
6. Unforgiven (film)
7. Dead Man (film)
8. Firefly (TV - Space Western!)
9. Red Headed Stranger (album)
10. No Country For Old Men (film)

(Inspired by Jim Coudal’s list.)

** Really, you could put the complete Man With No Name trilogy here, plus Once Upon A Time In The West. TGTBATU is just the one I always go back to.

What are your favorites?
