Clint Eastwood's eyes when he lowers the shotgun at Little Bill alone has my vote for Unforgiven being #1. That scene is one of the best shootouts ever, unexpected, gritty, raw and real.
@@FormulaVase-kp3dc In my opinion the movie takes place in the old west but it's really about celebrity and the extreme paths a fan takes to become closer to the celebrity they adore. If you can't be close to the celebrity why not kill it and forever be closely associated with it. Example.... John Lennon/Mark David Chapman.
When I first watched Django I could not believe how riveting the table scene with Leonardo was. Everyone was so serious. That scene left an imprint on my mind. I went back to that scene after the movie and saw that Leonardo had really cut his hand on the glass. Thats why everyone was so captivated. The dudes hand was really cut and he kept the scene going and everyone there knew it. They were in shock. Dude should have gotten an award for that.
Fantasy pistol accuracy with dubbed dialog and ten minute shots of eyes close up. Guns that make a strange noise unlike any I've heard, foreign looking trains and coaches and stuff like that there pardner.
Its my favorite western (and my all time favorite movie). it shows what a western should be, pays homage to clint eastwood with a cameo and even references fear and loathing in las vegas with another cameo. The story, the characters, everything about the movie is amazing!
@@linusmaximilian6568 thats whats so great about it,i mean how many times did you see a remake who actually good let alone way better than the original?true grit is by far miles better than the original
@@jonathanbethards3689 Yes, and you're so cool the way you insult anyone with criticism for something you like. SOOOOOO COOOL. See? I can be annoying and disingenuous too. Writing wise, there are a lot of plot holes, character inconsistencies, and rather large discrepancies in the continuity.
100 percent agree. Plus True Grit is a remake. Good thing it's just a dumb watchmojo list that don't mean shit. But it still makes me want to punch somebody who's talking about the Queen on Independence day!!
Open Range has all the ingredients of a great western movie -- the landscape, the drama, the romance, the town politics, the accents, the realistic gunfights and injuries, the rain and the cattle herd. It has all the good stuff. Nicely written. Hats off. Believe you me even women who are not much into western genre get to like to this one.
You have to be a father to fully understand that movie. How far a man is willing to go for his son's love. Even Wade respects him because he's the one good man Wade ever knew.
You cannot be serious right? Unforgiven bumped to second by the True Grit remake? By no means a bad film but nowhere near matches the masterpiece that is Unforgiven.
@@siraverik that has got to be the stupidest thing I've ever read, so basically what you're saying is to make it look realistic, you need more technology? To mimic a time with less technology? You sir are the MVP for the biggest clown in this comment section kudos to you sir.
@@Getbent97 first off "most stupid" because "stupidest" is not a word and second, yes you require more computer graphics to make motion picture look realistic. watching a man get shot with no blood or any sense of realism from an old western and just falling over is not interesting, but watching a man get shot and having a bullet hole or seeing blood spatter from an exit wound makes the most fuckin sense to me. that's something they couldn't do with old westerns because they didn't have the technology, this is why modern westerns do it better. now taking old westerns and doing remakes like they did with true grit would be fantastic and could give them the real feel they deserve
True Grit is awesome the ending shootout at the end compared to the original isn't as good but it's got great characters and the journey they all go on it's just fantastic. Unforgiven is good but it is cheesy in parts some of the line delivery could have been better.
Only an hourable mention for one of my all time favourites - "OPEN RANGE"??? Camerawork, actors, script, music, the showdown - it doesn't get any better than this!
Unforgiven is too much about Eastwood not the Western Genre itself. A movie like that makes him look selfish. He’s a good actor/director, but not everything is about him. The list is about the western genre not Clint Eastwood!
I don't care if ya'll disagree... but I really wished No Country for old Men will be in this list. It's Neo-Western, or better yet make a Top 10 Neo Westerns XDXD
I believe it is however once you say that then you are on that elevator that takes you straight to hell. Just like pot leads ecstasy leads to cocaine leads to heroin. No country for old men leads to Logan being a western, leads to Mad Max fury road being a western leads to star wars being a western.
@@michaelhassler7446 The Quick and the Dead was about the worse piece of contrived garbage I've ever seen. Sad that anybody could come up with that. And full of great Actors too. Shocking.
@@michaelhassler7446 I did not know about it so when I saw it I had no expectation and I was blown away with the story and the acting. Especially the acting
For pure excitement and rapid pacing, Tombstone is still my favorite. Liked Unforgiven; gave a new spin on the western. Liked others on the list as well, but I can watch Tombstone over and over again. Open Range is very slow moving, but the payoff is the long, massive shootout at the end. The Quick and the Dead was just fun and silly in parts. Westerns are always perfect movies to show the finality of violent deaths in an untamed land because the law was always hard to enforce and the rugged land always unrelenting as well as beautiful. Tarrentino's westerns hearken back to the bloodiness of the Wild Bunch; sometimes it can get overdone and gruesome to the point where you've overdosed on it. A western well done can become a classic quickly.
+Ben Davis Gotta agree. When I saw Unforgiven at #2 I thought, "What the hell is over this??" Then I see True Grit. They are both great and could be interchangeable but I have to go with Unforgiven. I think it's because True Grit came out a few years back and the younger voters may not have seen Unforgiven since it came out 23 years ago. That final confrontation between Clint Eastwood and Gene Hackman alone should have had it at #1.
@@alanschwartz7073 That was a very good film, and had that sense of realism that were lacking in other westerns of the 60's and 70's. I also liked that the Preacher had an unknown past, leaving it up to us to try to figure it out.
Tombstone is the only one of these I had the least desire to watch again, and must have watched it at least 8 - 9 times by now....Great movie, great cast.
While we're talking Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption 2 for alternate mediums, in comic book form, Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti had a 70 issue run of Jonah Hex that was absolutely stellar. Be perfect if they could adapt it into a TV show, it was sort of an anthology with chronology, it could jump to any point in Hex's life from issue to issue, but also had arcs with a clear succession sprinkled throughout. So many great stories to be found in there, the follow up, more directly continuous All-Star Western was great too, but the Jonah Hex run stands amongst the best westerns of any medium.
I was looking for someone to agree with me. Young Guns 1 and 2 is the best western ever. Good the Bad and the Ugly in number 3. But dont expect anyone else to agree with me. You might place them somewhere elae. But this Mojo chose good but not excellent western movies.
True Grit is not only the greatest Western Movie of all time, but also one of the greatest films ever made. Simply AMAZING! The fact that it is actually better than the original should tell you something.
@@MrRogerSherman Rango was a pure western, drastically mis-marketed as your typical animated fare. And Magnificent 7 was entertaining as hell, wouldn't rate amongst the best, but not within a galaxy of unwatchable.
Yes... Open Range was great too... even with the silly scene where Kevin Costner's character "Charlie" makes 16-17 rapid fires shots from one single-action, six-shot revolver. It had its silly moments but was miles above The Quick and the Dead. By the way, based on this video, I just watched Slow West... Ya... It's not bad!
Playing Red Dead 2 got me interested in westerns. I just watched Unforgiven for the 1st time in like 10yrs. Some of these movies I watched multiple times like Tombstone and 310 to Yuma so i think True Grit is next on my list then Quick and the Dead.
Naw, Unforgiven is way too overrated. Don’t get me wrong it’s a good film, yet it’s basically a eulogy for Eastwood Western’s, not the Genre as a whole. True Grit on the other hand encapsulates the genre as an whole entirely, and keeps with those same traditions as well as add’s a new feel to it.
I was thinking the same thing, Wayne. Pale Rider & Silverado absolutely are some excellent "modern" westerns that deserve to be on this list. They should roll back the date-range in order to make this list truly accurate...
@@jmmartin7766 I think them labeling 90s movies as a modern was a stretch. 80s and earlier definitely don't meet that criteria. Hopefully they do an overall and throw in the classics
The first season Of Deadwood was probably better than everything on this list. The opening scene of Seth Bullock mercifully hanging his prisoner was the best opening hook any movie has ever had.
How can't Dances with Wolves not be the number one western from 1990 to today? That was as close to a perfect movie, let alone western, that was ever made.
mike kemp Yeah, Kilmer, Biehn and Powers Boothe make that movie for me. Russel is great as Earp but it's rises a level by the other performances. The shotgun thing is really stupid editing. The third shotgun shot doesn't look like it should be in the same scene.
My Top 10 Since 2000 1) Unforgiven 2) Tombstone 3) Open Range 4) Magnificent 7 (2016) 5) 3:10 to Yuma 6) Assassination Of Jessie James 7) Blackthorn 8) Hostiles 9) Hateful 8 10) Bone Tomahawk
Best 10 westerns ever The wild bunch Tombstone Good bad & the ugly Unforgiven Dances with wolves Once upon a time in the west 3/10 to yuma For a few dollars more Gettysburg Magnificent seven
I think they just gave it the win because it was a Coen Brothers film. BFD, they've made good films, and some not so good, and True Grit was not nearly as good as some of the others (Unforgiven, Open Range), not even as good as the other remake on here, 3:10 to Yuma.
1.) Unforgiven 2.) True Grit 3.) The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford 4.) Tombstone 5.) 3:10 to Yuma 6.) Django Unchained 7 - 10) Whichever.
Archive of the Afterlife don’t get me wrong Unforgiven is hands down one of the all time best westerns. I don’t rate things just because they won an award (because award shows are a bunch of crap lol) but yea Unforgiven is definitely an all time great.
Not even close to being #1 but definitely one of the best plots and definitely my favorite game. But if you’ve seen a spaghetti western, and still believe that rdr is Better, you have no appreciation for good stories.
@@JoseSanchez-sc6fe Umm what?? RDR2 and even RDR1, have a far FAR better written story than every spaghetti western. With better written and complex characters, better development, a lot more depth, and just overall better plot.
I even loved the prequel, Commanche Moon-- Steve Zahn was great channeling Rob Duval... Imho, his performance has been seriously overlooked in this film
Ouch! Love watch mojo but this list is tough to agree with. I’d have went with; 1. Unforgiven 2. Jessie James 3. Appaloosa 4. Young Guns 5. Tombstone 6. 3:10 to Yuma 7. Django 8. Buster Scruggs 9. Wyatt Earp 10. Open Range. Honorable Mentions would probably be; Dances With Wolves, Slow West, Hostiles, Young Guns II, and True Grit
Red Dead Redemption. Don't care that it's not a movie.

+Brendan Brady Yes it is one of the best western games ever made, and would make a killer movie!!
+TheTonyahawk the best western game ever made...there i fixed it for you.
In the hands of the right director, it would be one fucking kick-ass western movie. Or better, to capture the full scope, make it an HBO mini-series.
Bone Tomahawk is an underrated western in my opinion. Such great dialog in that movie.
Clint Eastwood's eyes when he lowers the shotgun at Little Bill alone has my vote for Unforgiven being #1. That scene is one of the best shootouts ever, unexpected, gritty, raw and real.
And true to life in that era, especially the mis-fire.
the Assassination Of Jessie James is a masterpiece most audiences couldn't understand that deep of a western
Exactly. People don't understand the theme and tone. That's why it is low. Underrated movie.
@@FormulaVase-kp3dc In my opinion the movie takes place in the old west but it's really about celebrity and the extreme paths a fan takes to become closer to the celebrity they adore.

Yes... Open Range was great too... even with the silly scene where Kevin Costner's character "Charlie" makes 16-17 rapid fires shots from one single-action, six-shot revolver. It had its silly moments but was miles above The Quick and the Dead.
By the way, based on this video, I just watched Slow West... Ya... It's not bad!
Django is no.1 for me but I'm fine with this list.
Playing Red Dead 2 got me interested in westerns. I just watched Unforgiven for the 1st time in like 10yrs.
Some of these movies I watched multiple times like Tombstone and 310 to Yuma so i think True Grit is next on my list then Quick and the Dead.
And now we have THE SISTER BROTHERS and BUSTER SCRUGGS. Such a refreshing and amazing comeback of the Western.
If this list had been more recent, I would put Wind River on here
Silverado...great cast, look...wonderful western
Bob Smith But made in the 80’s so doesn’t qualify. That being said, I enjoy that movie very much, terrific ensemble cast.
Made in 1985, so it was before the period being considered (1990- ) they mentioned at the beginning.
1. Unforgiven
2. True Grit
3. Tombstone
4. 3:10 to Yuma
5. Dances With Wolves
Flip the 1 and 2 then your list works
Nothing beats Unforgiven
Naw, Unforgiven is way too overrated. Don’t get me wrong it’s a good film, yet it’s basically a eulogy for Eastwood Western’s, not the Genre as a whole. True Grit on the other hand encapsulates the genre as an whole entirely, and keeps with those same traditions as well as add’s a new feel to it.
I thought true grit sucked
Dances with Wolves beats this whole list.
Harrison Bishop I think true grit is very overrated I think 3:10 to Yuma should be number 1 it was amazing
Unforgiven should be #1
John Kinneen watched it. it sucked. ACTION WAS ALL AT THE END
Kevin - people like tyrell is why studios keep hiring michael bay
tyrell tsosie go watch Rambo then lol
@@swaggkingg4536 Clearly, you didn't understand the point of the film and what it is about.
Unforgiven is easily #1 and with no mention of Pale Rider and Silverado, this list not serious
Wayne Cunningham it was only movies after 1990. Those were both in the 80s. They did that because they were focusing on more modern cinema.
I was thinking the same thing, Wayne. Pale Rider & Silverado absolutely are some excellent "modern" westerns that deserve to be on this list.
They should roll back the date-range in order to make this list truly accurate...
@@jmmartin7766 I think them labeling 90s movies as a modern was a stretch. 80s and earlier definitely don't meet that criteria. Hopefully they do an overall and throw in the classics
Tombstone should be number one
Tombstone is great but not the best. Mostly it’s doc Holliday that makes that movie. 3:10 to Yuma, and Appaloosa are better.
Thats what I say!
The first season Of Deadwood was probably better than everything on this list. The opening scene of Seth Bullock mercifully hanging his prisoner was the best opening hook any movie has ever had.
"MOVIE" - I do not think that word means what you think it means.
In my opinion, Open Range is such an underrated movie. Hard to believe it wasn’t in the top 10. Its #1 on my list.
100% agreed
#1 Unforgiven
#2 Tombstone
After that it doesn't matter much...
Thank you!
Rango that was an amazing movie
How can't Dances with Wolves not be the number one western from 1990 to today? That was as close to a perfect movie, let alone western, that was ever made.
10: Magnificent 7
9 : Open Range
8 True grit
7: Dances with wolves
6: Django
5: Tombstone
4 Hateful 8
3 3:10 to Yuma
2 Unforgiven
1 StAr WaRs
The Good, the Bad, the Weird
Good flick. Great humor and action
I couldn't get into it because he had infinite ammo in a double barrel shotgun. I hate that shit.
You couldn't watch the entire movie just because of that little thing?!?!
doc holliday fires three times at the ok corral with his shotgun but it doesnt stop tombstone from being a great movie
mike kemp Yeah, Kilmer, Biehn and Powers Boothe make that movie for me. Russel is great as Earp but it's rises a level by the other performances. The shotgun thing is really stupid editing. The third shotgun shot doesn't look like it should be in the same scene.
Unforgiven should be no.1
1.There Will Be Blood
2.Unforgiven
3.Tombstone
4.True Grit
5.3:10 To Yuma
That's my list for modern western movie..
Can't believe I had to scroll down this far to see There will be blood... I was starting to think I'd imagined it
"... for what you did to Ned."
"He shoulda armed himself..."
"Anybody who don't wanna git kilt, better head on out the back..."
Nobody talks about "The Jack Bull" (1999) with John Cusack. Is a good movie. :)
My Top 10 Since 2000
1) Unforgiven
2) Tombstone
3) Open Range
4) Magnificent 7 (2016)
5) 3:10 to Yuma
6) Assassination Of Jessie James
7) Blackthorn
8) Hostiles
9) Hateful 8
10) Bone Tomahawk
Got to include "Silverado" and Costner's "Wyatt Earp"...
Silverado was great but it was in the 1980s
Silverado was in 1985-- which is why the arbitrary "1990 rule" of this video is ridiculous
@@jmmartin7766 rules are made to be broken
Silverado and Wyatt Earp should be on the list, besides half of those films.
Silverado was done in 1985, which was before their 1990 cut-off date. Wyatt Earp? Meh.
can't believe they left off Silverado
Best 10 westerns ever
The wild bunch
Tombstone
Good bad & the ugly
Unforgiven
Dances with wolves
Once upon a time in the west
3/10 to yuma
For a few dollars more
Gettysburg
Magnificent seven
Not sure Gettysburg would qualify as western.
Trade Gettysburg for outlaw Josey Wales
Damn the cinematography and soundtrack of "The Assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford".😍😍😍
Hateful 8, bone tomahawk, hostiles, ballad of buster scruggs, geronimo, revenant, last of the mohicans all should be there
yeah, so let's put 20 movies in a top ten list...Hateful 8 sucked
Last of the Mohicans NOT a Western.
Unforgiven blows this list out of the water
Tombstone is my favorite western movie hands down
3:10 to Yuma is awesome! :D
The Assassination of Jesse James needs to be in top 3, at least Top 5
Boring ass movie
True Grit deserved number one because it was the movie that gave us The Bear Guy, the greatest character in cinematic historry
+TromaFan4Life was not expecting true grit to be no 1 since it was a remake.
+TromaFan4Life Forester. ;)
I think they just gave it the win because it was a Coen Brothers film. BFD, they've made good films, and some not so good, and True Grit was not nearly as good as some of the others (Unforgiven, Open Range), not even as good as the other remake on here, 3:10 to Yuma.
True Grit is not a remake. It's a novel.
@Motor Punx Wow. It's a remake of a John Wayne film, no less. The Coen Brothers version is truer to the book, but still....
bone tomohawk?
piggypoo YES
Yes!!! That movie is so under rated
Yeah I was waiting for bone tomahawk to pop up on the list
kelybal
Sooooooo Good!
Shite movie
1.) Unforgiven
2.) True Grit
3.) The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
4.) Tombstone
5.) 3:10 to Yuma
6.) Django Unchained
7 - 10) Whichever.
Agreed but i would’ve put Tombstone number 3 or 2
@@trashboat2687 - I went Unforgiven at #1 mainly for the cast being excellent and the Oscar for Best Picture. Which is kinda rare for a western.
Archive of the Afterlife don’t get me wrong Unforgiven is hands down one of the all time best westerns. I don’t rate things just because they won an award (because award shows are a bunch of crap lol) but yea Unforgiven is definitely an all time great.
Godless on Netflix, an amazing western movie I found and o loved it. Reminds me of Red dead and Dutch and the gang
I agree,, Dr. Phil. Godless was one of the best series ever IMO
Red dead 2 #1
well it definitely gets number 1 on the gaming list lol no doubt
Not even close to being #1 but definitely one of the best plots and definitely my favorite game. But if you’ve seen a spaghetti western, and still believe that rdr is Better, you have no appreciation for good stories.
Saucy Sanchez we’ll screw you. RDR2 has a way better story than most spaghetti westerns.
@@JoseSanchez-sc6fe Umm what?? RDR2 and even RDR1, have a far FAR better written story than every spaghetti western. With better written and complex characters, better development, a lot more depth, and just overall better plot.
1. Unforgiven
2. Open Range
3. True Grit
4. Tombstone
5. 3:10 To Yuma
6. Hateful Eight
7. Appaloosa
8. Django
9. Missing
10. Hell or High Water
Pretty good list. I think the quick and the dead is idiotic.
Khắc cảnh lê Tks. I agree.
Unforgiven is a masterpiece. Dances with Wolves is more of a period piece, like Jeremiah Johnson.
Holy shit... Tommy Lee Jones would be perfect to play Dutch Van Der Linde!!
For me it's Daniel Day Lewis!
Personally
1. The Good The Bad And The Ugly
2. Django Unchained (no joke watched it over 20 times)
3. Tombstone
20 times!! how? It was good the first watch, but then after it really loses it charm and you notice the terrible pacing
AND THEY SHALL CALL IT UNFORGIVENNNNNNNNNNNNNN OHHHHHHHHHH WHOAAAAAAAA OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
True Grit remake I love. The Dude abides...
Tombstone was at least 3, so many memorable lines from that movie. Val Kilmer stole all the attention each time he was in the scene.
Casey Affleck is one if the most underrated actors in Hollywood.
Well, Lonesome Dove missed the list I guess because it was in 1989 but that's a really good modern western starring Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones.
I even loved the prequel, Commanche Moon-- Steve Zahn was great channeling Rob Duval... Imho, his performance has been seriously overlooked in this film
Ouch! Love watch mojo but this list is tough to agree with. I’d have went with; 1. Unforgiven 2. Jessie James 3. Appaloosa 4. Young Guns 5. Tombstone 6. 3:10 to Yuma 7. Django 8. Buster Scruggs 9. Wyatt Earp 10. Open Range. Honorable Mentions would probably be; Dances With Wolves, Slow West, Hostiles, Young Guns II, and True Grit
I am ASTOUNDED that the magnificent "Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada" was not mentioned anywhere in this list. Shame!
