From 3:10 to Yuma to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, these are the best Western movies ever made!
Read update The Western genre has been a staple in cinema since the thirties. Giving American audiences a wide range of heroic gun-toting cowboys to cheer for as they brave the wild lands of western America. Over the years the Western genre has changed, molded by the times in which it was made, becoming more of a mirror to present society than the actual period the genre is portraying.
19 'True Grit' One of the best Western movies of the 21st century, True Grit stars Hailee Steinfeld as Mattie Ross, a young girl who witnesses her father's murder. Not contempt to let the killer get away with his crime, Ross hires veteran US Marshall Rooster Cogburn to bring him to justice, while insisting that she accompanies him on his journey.
With an all-star cast of tough guys such as Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, and Yul BrynnerThe Magnificent Seven creates a welcome atmosphere of uplifting masculinity as these brave men sacrifice themselves to protect strangers. Though not all in the party are doing this job altruistically, making an interesting dynamic between the team.
12 'The Searchers' One of John Wayne's best movies, The Searchers sees Wayne playing Ethan Edwards, a Civil War veteran who returns home to find his family murdered, and his niece abducted by a Comanche tribe. Refusing to give up on saving the young girl, he spends years traveling the Western plains with his nephew in search of her.
The Wild Bunch boasts a wide cast of characters ranging from twisted villains to remorseful killers making for a more mature and nuanced Western than those before it. The story itself is a constant journey as the outlaws move from one job to the next keeping an exciting fast pace throughout. Far removed from the anti-Westerns that contemplate the nature of violence, For a Few Dollars More is more concerned with dangerous cowboys gunning down anyone who looks at them the wrong way. Nobody does grizzled cowboys better than Eastwood, and For a Few Dollars More is another great showcase of his abilities.
