He did so much to revitalize the genre and served as inspiration to others. If nothing else. at least his characters looked as if they lived on the frontier instead of just having walked out of the El Paso JC Penney's. Unless you're absolutely trying to avoid Cl*nt **stw**d ;-)

I would add The good, the bad and the ugly. No clear good guys/bad guys, just varying degrees of "worse" trying to come out ahead while scores of others are dying for their own greater good. Ennio Morricone soundtrack. And the 3-way final duel, of course.

And while at it: Tombstone (1993) A retelling of the O.K. Corral story with a good bit of "Wild Bunch" mixed in. Val Kilmer's Doc Holliday runs off with this one pouring gasoline on the fires the Earps are trying to put out. (Oh, and whiskers that would make a walrus proud. None of that '50's clean shave stuff...)
