Cool, I'm definitely in.
I have seen, like, almost no westerns. Blazing Saddles a looooong time ago, can hardly remember it. Dead Man, Django, Cohen Brothers' True Grit. Oh, and The Assassination of Jesse James by...
Any recommendations? I'm looking to see a couple classic westerns and a couple revisionist westerns. With my research right now, the only one I think I'll see for sure is Johnny Guitar.

Edit: These are the five I have come up with so far.
I'm thinking of starting with two John Ford films, since I know he's super important within the genre, and as an American film-maker in general. I'm a little worried about the racism, but I'm starting with:
1. The Searchers
2. My Darling Clementine
Then, the revisionist westerns:
3. Johnny Guitar
4. Once Upon a Time in the West
5. Meek's Cutoff.
If I'm missing something maybe more important or just better, I'll take any feedback!
