This is as you know is "True Grit", followed by "The Shootist" then "The Outlaw Josey Wales"

My favourite western is Westworld, however, that's probably more properly classified as sci-fi, so with that out, it's either The Quick & The Dead, or High Plains Drifter.

I'm torn here...But, I'm going to have to go with "Red River" with John Wayne and Montgomery Clift.

Of course, TGTBATU is in there, along with "The Fastest Gun Alive", "Tombstone", "3:10 to Yuma" (Remake), "True Grit", "Fort Apache", "Hang em High", and parts of "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" mostly the scenes with Wayne in them however. Ford let the ropes up a little on that one to ill effect, I think.

I haven't seen that one- great, I take it?

Quick & The Dead has the same star...

Also, The Searchers and Nevada Smith come to mind.

If it hadn't been for the abysmally idiotic last twenty minutes I might put that one on the list, but...

As for my favorite, not sure it qualifies because it was not set in the old west but was contemporaneous with the time it was filmed (1962) - Lonely Are The Brave with Kirk Douglas.
