On you Best Westerns list: The Searchers was not directed by John Sturges, it was directed by John Ford. Also you left off the two films that influenced several of those Westerns, Yojimbo & Seven Samuri… The latter being my favorite Western along with, One Eyed Jacks, another omision…
On you Best Heist list, you left off the Best One: Heist by David Mammet…
Other than that you have a great site…
