Can’t name them all , all I get is Grit and a few local canals at the cabin now so I watch all the old ones all the time. Not very political correct any more , not sure why the still are showing them the way things have gotten , but. Like um,Jerema Johnson is probably my favorite, more 1 liners in it than any I know . Love it, used it today when I was giving another deer, Mother jewel never raised such a foolish child. 😊 Pappy

There are some good film adaptations of the J.F. Cooper novels. The oldest films are from 1920.
I especially like the 1967 film adaptation of "Chingachgook, the big snake" by Richard Groschopp and the four-part "Lederstrumpf" (leather stocking) by Jean Dreville and Pierre Gaspard- Huit from 1969.
Also the film from  1992 by Michael Mann.

I also like the 1966 film "The sons of the great bear" by Josef Mach.

Not a western as such but I have watched Quigley Down Under more times than any other movie, Jeramiah Johnson is a close second.

I like the line after he shoots the evil cattle rancher when he says; "I said I didn't have much use for one (colt 45), didn't say I didn't know how to use it".

one I just recalled - Black Robe, early settlement period in Canada,

imbd summary - In the 17th century, a Jesuit missionary nicknamed Black Robe by the natives and his small party of companions try reaching the Huron tribe in Canada all while facing mistrust, Iroquois warring parties and harsh winter conditions.

Not a G rated film.
