Cool quiz. I like the broad definition of western at work here, but between Shane being so low on the list and The Magnificent Seven not even making the cut, I have to wonder about the ranking criteria. (I was disappointed that Ed Harris's Appaloosa didn't make the list, but not surprised. Good picture, but it came and went pretty quietly.)
