Re: The best and worst western movies:
Best: (not necessarily in this order other than The Searchers being #1 for me)
The Searchers
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
Unforgiven
Open Range
The Magnificent 7
How the West was Won
Worst:
The Villian (comedy with Kirk Douglas as 'Cactus Jack' and Arnold Swarzenegger as 'Handsome Stranger')
The Terror of Tiny Town
The Wild Wild West movie 1999 (Kenneth Branagh as Loveless and Will Smith as Jim West - a REAL stinker)
The Quick and The Dead (Sharon Stone as a gunslinger filmed in some weird yellow/brown haze )
Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter (never seen it, I just like the title!)

Re: The best and worst western movies:
Maybe I am overthinking it but maybe the 'worst' should be limited to westerns that were intended to be Realistically scripted as opposed to comedic - as the comedy westerns are in a class of their own.
With regard to 'best' I'll have to give that some thought as a few already mentioned by others are on my list - as well as some of the worst!
I will however add as one of the best was a made for tv mini series titled 'Broken Trail' with Robert Duval and Thomas Haynes Church. This was incredibly well directed and patterned in the style of a 'big screen' movie as opposed to tv.
It was very realistic in props and dress for the script time period (1898) and the human interest and emotion of the cast was very moving - especially the final scenes. I highly recommend it for any fan of 'serious' westerns.
