Top 10 Westerns of Cinema History according to American Film Institute

My ranking of the AFI Top 100 Movies I've watched while listening to the Unspooled podcast (I was not able to get hold of all the movies). Judged only on enjoyment and rewatchability, not importance in film history and other lofty criteria.

The 100 Most Thrilling American Thrillers

This list is compiled from a collection of movie reviews in the 501 Must See Movies book. The movies have been split up into 10 genres, each with 50 movies (except for the last, which has 51): Action/Adventure & Epic, Comedy, Drama, Horror, Musical, Romance, Science Fiction/Fantasy, Mystery/Thriller, War and Western.
