For a breath of fresh air, I hightly reccomend the following film:

"The Big Country" with Gregory Peck, Jean Simmons and a terrific supporting cast.

Why?

You'll at first think you are being fed the "Western Movie Cliche Database", but I promise you, you will be jolted out of that.. This film rocked me this year when I saw it for the first time on The Western Chanel. TCM plays it occasionally. Netficks probably has it.
