I can't believe how many people like the True Grit remake. I thought it was complete shit. I barely sat through it.
Once Upon A Time In The West is my favorite.
It has the quintessential look, characters, pace, mood, and soundtrack for a Western.
It just "feels" better than other westerns
Maverick, fucking Maverick.
Once Upon a Time in the West will always be the GOAT western.
In recent years i'd have to say Rango holds up better than most live action films.
FYI, True Grit fans: I read the novel last week and it was really good. Very similar to the movie; practically a screenplay. The Coens were extremely faithful. They especially nailed the narration--you know, that weird, matter-of-fact delivery of Mattie Ross'.

"The Proposition" and "Deadman" are two of my favorites but both are also not your typical western.
