Unforgiven and Open Range are my top two. Absolutely love to crank up the home theater at the gun fight in Open Range.
If "modern" is post-WWII, I'd say:
Unforgiven
Open Range
Tombstone
True Grit (new interpretation, although the John Wayne version is great fun!)
The Searchers
Red River
Wild Bunch
Blazing Saddles
Once Upon a Time In The West
Outlaw Josey Wales
GB&U
3:10 to Yuma (2007)
Broken Trail
For a Few Dollars More
Lonesome Dove
The Naked Spur
Winchester '73
Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid
Shane
High Noon
The Magnificent Seven
Qiugley Down Under
The Proposition (heard it was really good, but going on their word)
Silverado
Treasure of Sierra Madre
Will Penny
The Gunfighter
My Darling Clementine
The Professionals
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
I'm sure there's more, but that's all I got.

Shane, the best western ever made.
Unforgiven, the other best western ever made.
Red River, probably the best western ever made.
Old Gringo, even though it has Hanoi Jane in it.
Comes a Horseman, one of the best modern westerns you'll probably never see, even though it has Hanoi Jane in it too.

Open Range & 3:10 to Yuma
What about:
"Tom Horn"
"Joe Kidd"
"The Missouri Breaks"
"Goin South"
"Billy Jack" is not quite as western but has the same premise as most and some good quotes, Billy Jack: "When policemen break the law, there isn't any law... just a fight for survival.".
In more recent times "The Jack Bull" and "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada" come to mind.
As far as spaghetti's "My Name is Still Trinty" still cracks me up.

If you want an odd but good Japanese take on a spaghetti western look up
Sukiyaki Western Django. I know it's sounds dumb but all I have to say it's good
for a chuckle and has some really great firearm props.
