WTF are you talking about? When someone says they know everything or have seen everything or an all-out statement like that, it's ridiculous in itself.
But when you make it, it's even more tragic.
Seriously, go watch a varied list of westerns. I still haven't watched enough to say I've seen EVERYTHING. I just saw a Wayne movie this morning and it was terrible. I can't even remember the name anymore.
Let us start with not with Clint eastwood as people suggest.
I won't go in order though. I'm just going off the top of my head.
Wild bunch -- it's a little crude and controversial about a cowboy gang that's near the end of the cowboy/gang way of life at the mexico border as they deteriorate.
Stagecoach - you can't spell western without a white hat john wayne. of course, john wayne is a god damn racist bastitch. but he is a good actor for the western.
The shootist - another good Wayne movie
The man who shot liberty valance
mcabe and mrs. miller
The westerner - cult status western movie from like the 40s maybe the 50s?
Six string samurai - now that's an apocalyptic cult-status western movie.
rio bravo - again wayne and maybe dean martin - singing this time. the musical entered the picture around this time. so they were mixing genres. it was fun. simpsons kinda poked fun of such pictures.
Paint your wagon - that's a fun one - just for the musical effect.
Sabata - now this is an awesome Curry western (it's kinda like a spaghetti western except it plays out really, really close to the mexicano border or in mexico. Spaghettis don't have to be in mexico or right next to it.
Well, Magnificent seven
and then seven samurai
all the clint eastwood movies
oh and one of my favorite westerns is not with any of the usual western actors.
It is Hombre - with Paul newman. He barely speaks. It's kinda like Rambo. mostly with mannerism and shot movement.
If you can get it, there's also a good Hindi western called um....Sholay. It would be subtitled but I doubt that would be a problem for you guys. But the biggest hurdle would probably be not laughing at the song-and-dance numbers :-D.
I think I'm done!
