I grew up on Westerns, Eastwood, Wayne, Jimmy Stewart.  I'm with sirs though, I hated Unforgiven, and I think that it was because it was so damned dark.  My top 3 Westerns would be:  The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, The Big Country, and even though it's not a true Western, The Shootist.

I cannot stand John Wayne movies. I don't know, he is just so fake to me. None of his roles seem authentic. True Grit was about the only movie, Western or War, that I found remotely tolerable.

Regardless, my favorite westerns (ask me to choose between my children why don't you?)

1. The Magnificent Seven
2. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
3. High Noon
4. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
5. One Upon a Time in the West
I smell something burning, hope it's just my brains.
They're only dropping peppermints and daisy-chains
   So stuff my nose with garlic
   Coat my eyes with butter
   Fill my ears with silver
   Stick my legs in plaster
   Tell me lies about Vietnam.

Now Butch & Sundance, with messers Newman & Redford, was indeed an awesome flick     8)

My personal favorite Western was McCabe and Mrs Miller.

Others I really liked were Little Big Man and Dances with Wolves.

Even though in actual fact, Costner only danced with a single wolf.
I suppose Dances with a Wolf would imply a different sort of film, like A Boy and His Dog, a Love Story.
