To name a few. I still have a lot of John Wayne to see; I've seen far more of his war films than westerns.
For tv, it's Bonanza, Gunsmoke, Maverick, Have Gun, Will Travel; Lonesome Dove,The Wild Wild West, Adv. of Brisco County Jr., Wyatt Earp, F Troop (silly, but entertaining), Lone Ranger, Cisco Kid. I saw Branded as a little kid and a couple of episodes of The Rifleman; but, not enough to form an opinion.
I'm 48, though.
Fortunately, Ah keep mah feathers numbered for just such an emergency!
I'm glad to see that you have ' The Ox-Bow Incident ' on your list. I've probably seen it at least 25 times. It's my favorite western and one of my 10 favorite films. It's actually much more than a western, though. Here are some recommendations:

3:10 to Yuma ( 1957 )
Annie Oakley ( 1935 )
The Tall T ( 1957 )
7 Men From Now ( 1956 )
Nevada Smith ( 1966 )

The Comancheros ( 1961 )
Cowboy ( 1958 )

The Naked Spur ( 1953 )
Night Passage ( 1957 )
Saddle the Wind ( 1958 )
One-Eyed Jacks ( 1961 )
Broken Trail ( 1961 ) ( highly recommended )
The Proud Ones ( 1956 )
Rancho Notorious ( 1952 )
Destry Rides Again ( 1939 )
Ride Lonesome ( 1959 )
Tall In the Saddle ( 1944 )
The Tin Star ( 1957 )
One other suggestion. The best Gunsmoke episode ( in my opinion, that is ) is available to view for free on YouTube. It's titled, ' The Gallows '. It's episode 22, of season 7. It makes me think of ' The Ox-Bow Incident ' in some ways. Enjoy. Steve
