"The Comancheros" was filmed down near Moab, Utah at a place (White Ranch) that is now a hotel on the Colorado River. Red Cliffs Lodge. They have a movie museum downstairs with memorabilia from that movie, "City Slickers", and "Thelma and Louise", which were filmed down there also. Lots of Colorado River and redrock shots in "The Comancheros". Now it's the "daily" river run of about 15 miles.
I've stayed at a number of Best Western's, but I've never seen a movie about one.
Oh, I see.
Well, quite a few of the best western movies have already been mentioned, but a few that maybe haven't been mentioned...
I like Hang 'em High, Clint takes no prisoners in that one.
I also like Open Range, with Kevin Costner & Robert Duvall.
The Long Riders with the Keach & Carradine brothers is good.
I like Ride with the Devil with Tobey Maguire, which isn't necessarily a "western" but it is a Civil War movie, which makes it sort of a western, doesn't it?
The Quick & The Dead with Russell Crowe, Leonardo DiCaprio, Gene Hackman & Sharon Stone is fun.
For more classics, I prefer El Dorado with John Wayne, James Caan & Robert Mitchum over Rio Bravo with Rickie Nelson & Dean Martin, which is basically the same movie but not as good.
Staying on the Wayne train, I also like The Shootist, The Sons of Katie Elder, and The Searcher has some depth to it.
Is City Slickers a "western"? Probably not, but I like that movie.
My personal favorite western of all time is The Magnificent Seven, the original. How can you go wrong with that cast and that music?
Mag 7 has one of the greatest musical scores of all time - oh yeah - a great film too...sure. ........."Rojas?? His conversation would BORE ME to death !"
Lots of good calls above - I broke out Comancheros the other night for the umteenth time- never get tired of it.

A more recent film I think is great would be Open Range with Costner and Robert Duvall.
The Westerner ,,Gary Cooper,,, Walter Brennan as judge Roy Bean,, great stuff
Best of em all may just be Red River. The Duke, Montgomery Clift, Walter Brennan ( can never get enough WB)--- the YeeeeHaaaaaaa scene is priceless (mentioned in City Slickers).
Malcolm Gladwell has an interesting theory about categories of crime shows and the Western is just one of four types. The Jack Reacher series is a "Western" according to his definition. I think he has something here.
