Classic scenes in Westerns

Just finished watching 'The Long Riders'....a film that has produced a lot of flack in the past. Personally I find it not only to be well acted and well directed, but also evokes a genuine 'feel' for the Old West. The use of brothers for the main acting parts, was, I think, an insperation; and the critisism the director used slow motion photography to depict violance (ie. Sam Peckinpah) is, I think unfair.
As for my favourite scene - It would be the end scene when Frank James (Stacey Keach), has given himself up to the law, and is being escorted away on a train by the law.
At the siding of the track, we see a man watching as the train passes by. Does he feel the passing of the Old West? As for Frank James, (Keach), it is a scene that epitomizes his own sentiments that the time of the outlaw has ended, and that the time of the 'modern' world has begun. - whether he agrees with it or not...... The final moments of the films seem to be saying: "I've had enough....my time has come......and I'm resigned to it...."
Such is the power of 'The Long Riders'..... :D
 
Here are a few of mine:

'Dyin' ain't much of a living, boy'. That scene in Outlaw Josey Wells is pure, western tough-guy cool.

The scene in the cantina in The Man Who Shot Liberty Vallance when the Duke tells a mean Lee Marvin to pick up his dinner after he deliberately knocks it out of James Stewart's hanRAB.

Terence Hill repeatedly outdrawing and slapping a gunman in a bar in They Call Me Trinity

When the late Glen Ford, tired of hearing some men mouth off about being fast with a gun, decides to give them a demonstration about how to handle a gun in The Fastest Gun Alive.
 
The ride up to Boot Hill in The Mag Seven.

The first time we see Shane, viewed between a deer's antlers.

The end of Blazing Saddles, driving off into the sunset in a limo, stupid but brilliant.
 
The Ringo Kid's entrance in Stagecoach (1939), where he twirls his Winchester.

The whole of The Searchers (1956), the finest Western and a masterclass in film making.

The "print the legend" scene in the superb The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962). Another masterclass in film making from the master himself, John Ford.

Claudia Cardinali getting off the train and then the crane shot of Flagstone under construction with the soaring Morricone score in Leone's Once Upon a Time in The West (1969). Genius. Also, the trading post scene, with the first exchanges between Harmonica and the romantic bandit, Cheyenne and the final shootout and flashback scene in the same film with Henry Fonda and Bronson.

The bathtub scene in The Ballad of Cable Hogue (1970) for its sheer eccentricity. Good old Bloody Sam.

The bicycle ride in Butch Cassidy (1969).

Clint Eastwood dispatching Gene Hackman in the superb Unforgiven (1992).

Gene Hackman's entire performance in The Quick and The Dead (1995).
