That's a tough one, lots of favourite ones for different reasons.
Liked Gary Cooper in High Noon
Like a lot of the Terence Hill stuff, My Name is Nobody with Henry Fonda
JW did a few good'uns, McClintock, he worked well with Maureen O'Hara, The Shootist is one I can watch about once a year.
Glen Ford did a few I liked, 3;10 to Yuma, and a bunch more, he was good in Westerns
Liked a lot of stuff done with Slim Pickens, Walter Brennan, Ben Johnson in them.
Lee Marvin, Lee Van Cleef, did some great westerns, and they even let Clint in a couple of them.
The Gunfighter with Gregory Peck.
And I always like Ernest Borgnine as a bad guy.

I think my favorites in no particular order are Legends of the Fall, Tombstone (with Elliot, Russel and Kilmer) and The Outlaw Josey Wales.
Honorable mention to Quigley Down under and the Missouri Breaks and the Long Riders

And here I was sure some 2 post newbie wonder would have posted Broke Back Mountain as his favourite Western! Damn, missed RBBs meme first time through.
There are far too many truly great westerns to pick one, and there really have been very few westerns I couldn't watch at least 2 or 3 times. Like someone else said, the uncut version of Blazing Saddles is in a league of its own.

John Huston and John Ford made some good ones. They used the sweeping vista of Monument valley (Searchers) as backdrop.
Treasure of the Sierra Madre hasn't been mentioined yet, or Shane

It's a series but 1883 might be worth watching

Treasure of the Sierra was mentioned early on, I laughed when I saw that because I watch it again last Tuesday, one of my personal favorites, and you are right Shane was not mentioned, and what a great movie that is hey?
Another one that was not mentioned that is also a classic is:
Once Upon a Time in the West, with Henry Fonda, Charles Bronson, Jason Robards, Claudia Cardinale, Woody Strode and many others

Soldier Blue
It may not be my favorite, but it did sit with me over the years...
Soldier Blue is a 1970 American Revisionist Western film directed by Ralph Nelson and starring Candice Bergen, Peter Strauss, and Donald Pleasence.
Adapted by John Gay from the novel Arrow in the Sun by T.V. Olsen, it is inspired by events of the 1864 Sand Creek massacre in the Colorado Territory.

Never liked the John Ford or Houston westerns. Never could understand how you could have ranches in the Arizona desert. No grass or even water for horses and cattle. I did like Searchers movie though!
