Most of mine have been mentioned:

All Eastwood "Spaghetti Westerns"
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
The Magnificent Seven
Unforgiven
Dances with Wolves
Blazing Saddles

Also, you have to watch Wyatt Earp (Kevin Costner & Dennis Quaid) and Tombstone (Kurt Russell & Val Kilmer) in one sitting to get the full effect.

no Western Collection is complete till you see "Once Upon A Time In the West"

Dont' believe all the crappy reviews!
 
Just go pick up the John Ford Collection DVD box set...and if you're seen tG,tBatU, don't forget about Fistful of Dollars and For A Few Dollars More, some of most integral films to the Spaghetti Western genre.

Don't forget Howard Hawks movies either.
 
BTW, compared to what it remade, the Magnificent Seven was poo. Rent The Seven Samurai sometime, but it does require reading subtitles.

Deadwood is really good, but it's not really a western. It's about a gold mining town in the Black Hills of South Dakota. There are two seasons out on DVD, and the third is airing on HBO right now. The third season will be the last, but there will be two, two hour HBO movies to wrap up the series.

Open Range is really, really good. It kind of flew under the radar, but it's one of my favorite westerns now. The gunfight towards the end of the movie is very cool.

For a good fun western, Young Guns I and II are pretty neat. They loosely tell the story of Billy The Kid.
