It seems like when my Dad sat me down to educate me in the The Western, the first one he showed me was Shane, followed by The Searchers. To be honest, I don't remember either one all that well at this point. I should re-watch it. Currently I'd put my favorite western as The Big Country, though that's a non-standard one in many ways. Boy, it’s been a while…
