Based on what very little experience I have with them, the two subtypes are:

the ones filled with violence. Choas, mayhem, everyone in the whole town hitting, punching, shooting and yelling at each other. Because they focus so much on these things, it leaves less time for tension, dramatic build up, swagger and so on, not to mention the god-awful production values from the earliest eras of recording history...

but somewhere along the way, it all changed. The violence was toned down by a lot, until people started seeing scenes like the famous get three coffins ready, and that hamburger scene in the movie pulp fiction. scenes like these aged a lot better thanks to their slower pacing and character development compared to what the genre had before, and these are the type of westerns I'm asking for recomendations of.

Hm, I'm not a huge western fan, but perharps watch Tombstone (1993). It's long, slow paced and pretty cool. I liked it a lot.

Okay here's a decent list:

Unforgiven

Shane

The Cowboys

True grit- wayne's original not the new one.

The Searchers

The outlaw Josey Whales.

For a Few dollars more

3:10 to Yuma- both the orginigal and remake with Bale and Crowe are great.

Tombstone

The Wilde Bunch

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid

Rio Bravo

That's a good start.

Not really a western. I guess so. It's more of a stylized utlra vilolent cool version of Roots if Tobey was a bad ass meat eating killing machine- Fox. But, I highly recomend the film. Great movie,quite funny too.

I've seen these, and I recommend them as well.

There's also, IMO, Open Range, Dances with Wolves, and the History Channel's miniseries (surprisingly historically accurate miniseries) Into the West.

Also, Hell on Wheels, though that's a TV show. Still, it's worth watching IMO.

EDIT: Purgatory as well.

If you want ultra violence, you can't go wrong with The Wild Bunch, The Long Riders, and Open Range. All three are bullets galore.

Putting in +1s for these:

The outlaw Josey Whales.
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid

Also:

The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly
Silverado
Little Big Man
The Magnificent Seven

And if you're into tv series, try Deadwood. It was awesome.

McCabe & Mrs. Miller, I really loved this movie. Anti-Western. Kind of showing the "West" on it's last legs. The movie has a weird look to it because after they finished they purposefully exposed the film in a manner that could have easily destroyed it. Also they built the set as they were filming, so you literally get to see a frontier town rise up as the story moves.

At last, your sig and the topic are now one. Balance has been restored.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is awesome. So many great lines and that soundtrack at the end makes the long journey it takes to get to that point well worth it.

Most of the greats have been listed. 3:10 to Yuma (the new one) is one of my favorite movies. Open Range with Kevin Costner and Robert Duvall is a lesser known, small budget film and it was clearly a labor of love for all invloved with its making. Though debatable, I see Serenity as a badass space western.

For space westerns I'll add Outland... Which is just High Noon on a moon, starring Sean Connery. It has bestowed upon the internet many head explody gifs.
