Akira Kurosawa scholar David Desser and critic Manny Farber, among others, state categorically that Red Harvest was the inspiration for Kurosawa's film Yojimbo; however, other scholars, such as Donald Richie, believe the similarities are coincidental.[3] Kurosawa himself stated that a major source for the plot was the film noir classic The Glass Key (1942), an adaption of Hammett's 1931 novel of the same name. In Red Harvest, The Glass Key, and Yojimbo, corrupt officials and businessmen are seen to stand behind and profit from the rule of gangsters. A number of films have been specifically based on Yojimbo, including Sergio Leone's A Fistful of Dollars and Walter Hill's Last Man Standing.

Oh yeah, and +1 on Death Hunt. Not a movie you'll watch repeatedly but damned memorable when you do. Notable for both Bronson's explicit and, by extension, Marvin's implicit infracaninophilia.

Good, nay excellent call.
Another modern western I like is Lone star. Not a successful film when it came out in the nineties, but I liked it if only for the line "There's no straight line between good and bad"
