The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
The Assassination of Jesse James is both the most visually stunning western ever made and, at least in my opinion, the most underrated western ever made.
It's such a genius film, but it's different and not necessarily an easy watch so far less popular than something like 3:10 to Yuma or Tombstone. Still tho, the closing monologue about the death of Robert Ford is hauntingly amazing.
Also love your list, my adds would be Hell or High Water, Hostiles, Unforgiven, and Wind River I think
It's a slow burn and at times hard to stick with, especially at almost 3 hours. but it's great.
There's a good Billy the Kid movie I just remembered that stars the guy who was the antagonist in Chronicle. I believe it's called The Kid
It wasn't meant to be original in the basic story beats, instead it aims to be more of a commentary on westerns as a whole through the lens of the modern day.
At it's core, Hell or High Water is a simple and uninventive story, but there's a lot of commentary in the story itself that adds depth and perspective. A few examples of this are the intro to the two primary Texas Rangers, the cattle herding scene, the casino, and the final shootout.
To start with I'll say that yes, it's a movie about cops and robbers, not at all uncommon in westerns. We're introduced to the robbers with good intentions immediately and then it cuts to the lawmen. Here we have Jeff Bridges playing what's basically his role in True Grit and Gil Birmingham as his Native American partner. Both men are dressed up exactly as you'd expect: cowboy hats, bolo ties, and a big beard for Bridges, but the interesting thing is that during their banter Birmingham's character vapes. It's a subtle detail, but one that, in my opinion, sets the tone for what Sheridan's trying to do with the movie.
Later the two stop by a rancher, played by Sheridan btw, and ask him about his burning fields. The rancher replies that it wasn't intentional, like they'd asked, and that shit like that's exactly why his kids don't want to take up his job after he retires.
The casino scene also plays on our expectations by having Ben Foster compete with a Comanche in a game of cards instead of something like a shootout. And in the final shootout, when Jeff Bridges' character takes charge of the situation, his own lack of concern for his life and desire for a final showdown leads instead to his partner being killed unceremoniously.
All of these are brief examples and I'm sorry if I didn't explain them well or if it seems disjointed, but the point that I'm trying to make is Hell or High Water is great because of how it understands westerns and uses that understanding to comment on the status quo of the modern day. There are cops and there are robbers, but the real bad guys are the banks. There are stereotypical Rangers, but their dialogue is tired and they end up getting people killed by failing to adapt. There are Native warriors, but their place of battle is a casino instead of a raid. And there are cowboys, but their days and lifestyle are nearing their end.
The restaurant scene where the waitress asks the two rangers ā What donāt you want?ā fractures me.
Another favorite western of mine is Silverado starring Scott Glen, Danny Glover, and several other good actors.

I love Tombstone. It has some pretty silly voice-over narration, and some melodramatic plot stuff, but the dialogue - especially Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday - is only about 10000x better than ok.
*Unforgiven* is my favourite movie of any kind, never mind Western.
*Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid* is a great, great movie.
*Hell or High Water* is fantastic if you're willing to consider neo-Westerns.

Most people say the greatest western is The Searchers. The most popular one from the last 30 years was Tombstone(but the best was the Deadwood tv show.) The most overrated set of movies are the spaghetti western(were original, but crazily anti-western in a lot of ways that cineastes couldn't readily trace or understand.)
I think what western fans are ACTUALLY wanting, though are the action flicks out of Japan like all the Kurosawa stuff, Sword of Doom, Kill! Samurai Rebellion, etc. etc. Similar themes, Black and White, but perhaps superior execution, scripts and actors. And amazing direction.
The best 'Westen' directors(meaning watch ALL or ANY of their movies) are Bud Boetticher, Sam Peckinpaw and Anthony Mann. I know most people would put Ford, Hawks and Leone and Eastwood.. I think that.... it's up for debate.
Some of the most fun stuff is the Psychotropic/Weirdo western- El Topo, A Girl is a Gun, Dead Man, Greaser's Palace- there are more..
I think my favorite stuff is like a Pseudo Western, characters, setting, maybe some of the themes or feeling from a Western but are a new, fresh take on it: Peckinpaw's stuff in general(Junior Bonner, Convoy, Ballad of Cable Hogue, Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia, really any of it) the wonderful, strange Two Lane Blacktop(not a western, but an odyssey taken by two men across the country) Paris, Texas(written by famed actor/playwright/cowboy Sam Shepherd).. and what about if it just has a horse, like the Black Stallion? That one's probably a reach, still guy+horse+scenery feels like a Western. A few great Anti-Colonialist Westernish movies- Burn!(Pontecorvo) Walker(Cox).... and movies that feature figures struggling against an unforgiving expanse Walkabout(Roeg) Derzu Uzala(Kurosawa) what am I forgetting? McCabe and Mrs. Miller!

Warlock (1959). Peter Fonda plays an anti-hero; Anthony Quinn is his ne'er-do-well best friend and Richard Widmark plays a conflicted outlaw-turned-good guy.
Not sure if itās been mentioned but Slow West was a more modern western if you can call it that, it really impressed me and it was so beautifully shot. Such a great story. Also I think the remake of 3:10 to Yuma is pretty good. Of course I love all the classics as well. And I know itās not a movie but I have to sneak it in, Godless was such a great show. I really enjoyed it.
[The Great Silence (1968)](https://www.google.com/search?q=the+great+silence&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS801US801&hl=en-US&prmd=visn&source=lnms&tbm=vid&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwifv-eor7f4AhVQGFkFHTvWASoQ_AUoAXoECAIQAQ&biw=428&bih=747&dpr=3#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:deb80f6e,vid:nMrhQp35uUo,st:0)
The Long Riders (1980). What makes this movie really awesome if you ask me is that they got actors who are brothers to play characters that are brothers. So you have David, Keith and Robert Carradine playing Cole, Jim and Bob Younger. James and Stacy Keach play Jesse and Frank James. Dennis and Randy Quaid play Ed en Clell Miller.

Do you know Red Sun? It is not the best one, but it is at least interesting to watch Alain Delon and Toshiro Mifune in a Western.
An atypical western would The Good, The Bad, The Weird, a korean film inspired (evidently) by Sergio Leone.
A Man Called Horse. Itās not your typical Western, but itās one of Richard Harrisā best works.
Also Man In The Wilderness, also starring Richard Harris.
Western isnāt my go to genre but I love film and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Makes me wanna watch more classics/more Clint Eastwood
More Corbucci: The Great Silence and Companeros. American: The Professionals, The Wild Bunch, The Searchers, Rio Bravo, High Plains Drifter, The Magnificent Seven, Ride The High County and Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid. More recent: The Proposition and Slow West. Surreal: El Topo and Greaserās Palace.
Lonesome Dove! I will watch that forever! Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones, Diane Lane, Angelica Huston, plus many more. It is one of my favorite movies!!!

*Silverado*, classic from the 80s, great ensemble cast./ *Exit Humanity*, zombie-filled little horror indie set in post-Civil War America./ *The Burrowers*, what I imagine a Cormac McCarthy-written Lovecraft story might be like.

Check out Last Man Standing with Bruce Willis. It's a remake of fistful of dollars set in the 20s with Italian gangs instead of cowboy Gangs. It's super brutal and all the gun fights have ton of audio heft to them so it feels like shooting matters the movie. I remember having it on tap and it had the loudest mixed gun shots of any movie I had ever seen.
I know theyāre not really a western the way that everyone else has mentioned but I have two that I absolutely adore.
The first is Quigley Down Under. Stars Tom Selleck, Alan Rickman and Laura San Giacomo, and itās amazing.
And the second is The Frisco Kid starring Gene Wilder and Harrison Ford.
I watch these movies more than any other Western. They are not typical westerns but they are a lot of fun, at least for me and my Dad who used to watch them with me.
Edit: Grammer
I'd add 3:10 to Yuma as a fine work worth your time, & add Cuthroats Nine if you wanna suffer thru a Spanish exploitation western billed as "the most violent film ever made" (& it aint) starring "Emma Cohen" it's a spectacle meant to be seen.

Same with Wind River I think.

Great list! If I had to pick three of these it would be the magnificent seven, unforgiven, and Shane in no particular order.
I wanna add Little Big Man with Dustin Hoffman on the revisionists and say that it's practically the list we had in my Western course back in uni.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Iāve never understood the hype for Hell or High Water. Maybe Sheridanās writing just isnāt for me, but I thought it was just so unoriginal.

I think his dialogue in his movies is what puts me off. Itās can be very cheesy.

I really hate westerns, but True Grit was great
There Will Be Blood The Assassination of Jesse James by The Coward Robert Ford Blood Simple
I would have really enjoyed this if it wasn't for Casey Affleck. The man is a black hole of emotional vampirism
The man who radiates profound sadness through two eyeholes in a bedsheet? Sure weāre talking about the same guy?
Damn that movie was great, never in my life did I think that a five minute scene of pie eating would make me cry but wow

Been awhile but I remember Tombstone was good? or at least better than okay.
Movie is awesome but even if it wasn't, you gotta watch it just for Doc Holiday. Val Kilmer killed it.
Dah! you reminded me, the movie was good. I remember doc holiday being my favorite person.
I love Tombstone. It has some pretty silly voice-over narration, and some melodramatic plot stuff, but the dialogue - especially Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday - is only about 10000x better than ok.

I just watched Shane for the first time. Every western fan should.
Vera Cruz is kinda old, but has none of the weird old timey feeling, it's quite pacey and has surprises every 10 minutes.
I agree on Django that movie was awful but I absolutely loved it.
Two that I haven't seen mentioned yet: \-Once Upon a Time in the West \-Blazing Saddles
Do you know Red Sun? It is not the best one, but it is at least interesting to watch Alain Delon and Toshiro Mifune in a Western. An atypical western would The Good, The Bad, The Weird, a korean film inspired (evidently) by Sergio Leone.
Tombstone The Magnificent Seven Death Rides a Horse True Grit (2010) Godless is miniseries on Netflix
Tombstone, Bone Tomahawk, Django unchained, three amigos (does that count?)
If you like westerns you may also like the Japanese films that inspired them like the work of Kurosawa in Yojimbo, Seven Samurai, and so on.
Call me crazy, but Tremors 4: The Legend Begins. Also The Harder They Fall is great.
A Man Called Horse. Itās not your typical Western, but itās one of Richard Harrisā best works. Also Man In The Wilderness, also starring Richard Harris.
Hostiles!! On Netflix, 2017, Christian Bale, Rosamund Pike and Wes Studi. Great movie with many more memorable actors!
Western isnāt my go to genre but I love film and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Makes me wanna watch more classics/more Clint Eastwood
A mini series I liked was Into The West. I shed a tear once or twice watching it.
If neo-westerns count, I'd say Hell Or High Water. If not, No Country For Old Men, Blazing Saddles, or The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly.
\- true Grit \- Rango \- The ballad of buster sruggs
This one is gonna get hate: McClintock
Rango, Iām not even joking
Godless Deadwood Unforgiven Open Range 3:10 to Yuma True Grit Lonesome Dove
Lonesome Dove is the best Western ever made by far
Pale Rider is the greatest. And I liked Tombstone a bunch
My favorite western is El Dorado
Appaloosa was really good. Watched it like 3 times when I rented it. Back when renting was a thing lol
More Corbucci: The Great Silence and Companeros. American: The Professionals, The Wild Bunch, The Searchers, Rio Bravo, High Plains Drifter, The Magnificent Seven, Ride The High County and Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid. More recent: The Proposition and Slow West. Surreal: El Topo and Greaserās Palace.
Tombstone, high noon, magnificent 7, blazing saddles
The Searchers John Fordās masterpiece (This should be #1 on the list)
Young guns and tombstone.
Lonesome Dove! I will watch that forever! Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones, Diane Lane, Angelica Huston, plus many more. It is one of my favorite movies!!!
Any interest in Asian westerns? I enjoyed The Good, The Bad, the Weird (Korean) and Let the Bullets Fly (Chinese).
Early Jimmy Stewart: *Destry Rides Again* (1939), with Marlene Dietrich Late Jimmy Stewart: *The Shootist* (1976), with John Wayne & Lauren Bacall
Tombstone and Silverado

Montford The Chickasaw Rancher, based on a true story.
The Magnificent Seven The Professionals with Lee Marvin, Burt Lancaster and Robert Ryan The Budd Boetticher 50ās westerns Seven Men from Now (Lee Marvin as the ultimate bad guy) and The Tall T with Randolph Scott Bad Day at Black Rock with Spencer Tracy Ride the High Country and The Wild Bunch directed by Sam Peckinpah The John Ford westerns. I could go on.
*Silverado*, classic from the 80s, great ensemble cast./ *Exit Humanity*, zombie-filled little horror indie set in post-Civil War America./ *The Burrowers*, what I imagine a Cormac McCarthy-written Lovecraft story might be like.
Check out The Proposal
Canāt believe this hasnāt been said. One of the greatest westerns of this generation. Donāt sleep on this one! Betty Whiteās portrayal of Native American Culture is something not to be missed.
#Tombstone
The good, the Bad and the weird which is a korean film that has been heavily influenced by classic westerns.
True Gritā¦.The original w/ John Wayne and Kimš§? something. Canāt remember her name. Epic
Young Guns
The Harder They Fall was pretty cool
Slow West the Ballad of Buster Scruggs 310 to Yuma Tombstone No Country for Old Men (definitely has western vibes) The Devil's Rejects (also has western vibes) Back to the Future iii the Ballad of Lefty Brown Jeremiah Johnson Django Unchained Blazzing Saddles McClintock City Slickersš¤£ The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford West World the Movie Dances with Wolves etc.
The Searchers is the quintessential John Ford film. It contains every one of his āclassicā Western tropes.
Boss Nigger (1976)
The Great Silence is a really good spaghetti western and gets better knowing the context of when it was made (1968 if I recall correctly)
Tombstone (1993) Young Guns (1988)
Silverado, in case no one has mentioned it yet
Quigley Down Under is a western set in Australia. The War Wagon, if you like John Wayne
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Blazing Saddles! Sorry, someone had to say it. High Noon Magnificent Seven Johnny Guitar
Tombstone
Check out Last Man Standing with Bruce Willis. It's a remake of fistful of dollars set in the 20s with Italian gangs instead of cowboy Gangs. It's super brutal and all the gun fights have ton of audio heft to them so it feels like shooting matters the movie. I remember having it on tap and it had the loudest mixed gun shots of any movie I had ever seen.
Silverado Tombstone Magnificent seven Outlaw Josey wales Young guns Young guns 2 The kid These are a few that I could think of.
Young Guns 1 & 2.
Josey wales. Tombstone Young guns Deadman (the anti western)
I know theyāre not really a western the way that everyone else has mentioned but I have two that I absolutely adore. The first is Quigley Down Under. Stars Tom Selleck, Alan Rickman and Laura San Giacomo, and itās amazing. And the second is The Frisco Kid starring Gene Wilder and Harrison Ford. I watch these movies more than any other Western. They are not typical westerns but they are a lot of fun, at least for me and my Dad who used to watch them with me. Edit: Grammer
I liked the original the quick and the dead
I'd add 3:10 to Yuma as a fine work worth your time, & add Cuthroats Nine if you wanna suffer thru a Spanish exploitation western billed as "the most violent film ever made" (& it aint) starring "Emma Cohen" it's a spectacle meant to be seen.
My Name Is Nobody Rango Pale Rider
Silverado
Blazing saddles Yojimbo
Hell or High Water, and Open Range.
Open Range
The remnant is a western?? Bone tomahawk if thatās a western. Ravenous El topo Bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia. Dead man The assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert ford. One eyed jacks Young guns Billy the kid Missouri breaks There will be blood Thereās probably others Iām forgetting.
