Okay, I'll admit it. I've never seen... (fill in the movie title). — Page 4

"STAGECOACH, though. Wow. I saw that one only within the last few years, and was just blown away. Absolutely perfect in pretty much every way. And I hate hate HATE Westerns."

I hate most of them too. They're usually so horribly skewed to making all the Injuns (played mostly by white actors in bad makeup) look like evil villains. Any western pre-'70s come across as pretty clueless and dated today. Glorifying the white hero of the west.

As you can see from my list, I've missed a few biggie Westerns. And I've tried High Noon a few times, and I get bored so quickly with it I turn it off. It just looks like a very special episode of "Gunsmoke" to me.

Others I admit missing:

Goonies
The Searchers
Frida
The Berkeleys of Broadway (the only Fred & Ginger I haven't seen!)
Ocean's 11, 12, & 13 (the recent ones)
Blade Runner
Pride & Prejudice (the recent one, but I've seen many others)
Atonement

Often I'll watch a movie for one or two reasons alone (it may otherwise be mediocre to bed) . That is why I bought How the West Was Won on blu-ray - the unusual and spectacular cinematography - the story line itself is as you say about westerns, besty. God-awful!. And High noon is a good one to see for some outstanding b&w cinematography.

OK then, I've never seen

Toy Story
Shrek

Oh, and a western recommendation, these put the American westerns to shame:
