Buffalo Bill
The Ox-Bow Incident - best
Red River
She Wore a Yellow Ribbon
Tall in the Saddle
The Treasure of Sierra Madre
Obviously, I'm not much of a Westerns aficionado. If we have threads on 1940s noir and musicals, I'll be more enthusiastic!

Actually "The Treasure of Sierra Madre" isn't a western, technically speaking. It's actually a 'morality play' and an appropriation of "The Pardoner's Tale" by Chaucer. (I taught it for matriculation English - the Chaucer that is.)
True, it's considered more of an adventure tale than a western, but I was desperate to fill out my paltry list. lol

The 1940s were a decade of western musicals, hour-long formula programmers, and serious A-list western epics made by the best directors and writers in Hollywood who pushed the boundaries of the genre to new heights.
I count a decade from 1 to 10 with the first year, in this case, being 1941 and the last year of the decade being the transition year, in this case 1950. A remarkable year, 1950 ended the decade with several superior, adult westerns:
1950 Winchester '73 -- directed by Anthony Mann.
1950 Wagon Master -- written by Frank S. Nugent, directed by John Ford.
1950 The Gunfighter -- directed by Henry King.
1950 The Furies -- directed by Anthony Mann.
1950 Devil's Doorway -- written by Guy Trosper, directed by Anthony Mann.
1950 Broken Arrow -- directed by Delmer Daves.
1950 Branded -- directed by Rudolph Maté .
1950 Ambush -- written by Luke Short, directed by Sam Wood.
1949 She Wore a Yellow Ribbon -- written by Frank S. Nugent, directed by John Ford.
1949 Lust For Gold -- directed by S. Sylvan Simon.
1949 Colorado Territory -- directed by Raoul Walsh.

1948 Red River -- Borden Chase story directed by Howard Hawks.
1948 Four Faces West -- directed by Alfred E. Green.
1948 Fort Apache -- written by Frank S. Nugent, directed by John Ford.
