hello

They left out buck and the preacher and Silverado.
@@peanutsoupstheanimationsor8994😅😅q
back to the future part 3
The Hateful 8 should be on the list. It’s criminally underrated.
Agreed
Agree
Agree !
Agreed
I think maybe the lack of open plains and tumbleweeds knocked it down a bit lol but this list is kind of a joke anyway
Tombstone will always be my favorite western and Val Kilmer's performance as Doc Holliday was phenomenal and he deserved an Oscar.
facts
Thx
Indeed he did
20. Hell or High Water
19. Logan
18. Back to the Future 3
17. The Ballad of BusterScruggs

1. True Grit
Thanks
No hostiles this list is rubbish!
“We’re thieves, in a world that don’t want us no more.” Arthur Morgan
What a masterpiece of a game. Arthur Morgan is one of the best fictional characters ever imo.
@@jimmymurphy898Too bad he died, so players had to play as John Marston.
@@farmergiovanni4522 Yeah that made me sad. I really didn't want to stop playing as Arthur.
Definitely not a bad list, I might have included some honorable mentions, such as:
• No Country for Old Men
• Sicario
• Wind River
• The Magnificent Seven (2016)
• Rango
Even though they didn’t make the list, these movies captured every aspect that makes a western a western, and that’s what makes them iconic
I would have any of those listed take the place of Quick and The Dead. It was an entertaining movie. But it has no business being on a best Western movie list.
sicario is a western?
Agree, well said
@@c012281977very accurate comment
@@c012281977the quick and the dead is way better than the magnificent seven remake and rango
How are masterpieces like Dances With Wolves and Rango not on this list?! 😤
My favorite Westerns include The Magnificent 7 (both versions), Back to the Future Part 3, Wagons East, Blazing Saddles, The Good The Bad & The Ugly, The 7 Faces of Dr. Lao, The Hateful 8, A Million Ways To Die, Tombstone, Django Unchained, & Rango
A million ways to die in the west is hella underrated
Some are to old for this particular list though
"Unforgiven" is better than "True Grit", more important for the evolution of the genre. "Unforgiven" is the ultimate western.
You also forgot "Dancing with Wolves" and the Unknown "Seraphim Falls", directed by David Von Ancken (2006), violent and surreal.
As for the TV series, the best is "Into the West" (2005), involving and very touching.
Tombstone. It has always been, and likely always will be, my favorite Western of all time. With a close second going to the original True Grit.
I don't know how this channel puts out so much good content. You might not agree with everything but gotta admit it's all entertaining af.
They’re not movies but Yellowstone, 1883, and 1923 are proof that westerns are making a comeback in a small way, at the very least.
How is Hostiles, The Hateful 8, Magnificent 7, and Bone Tomahawk not listed in this????? Please explain.
Because they're not woke
And the revenant
Whoo! New Justified, can't wait. Ye need to do a Justified top 10/20
Tombstone is such a good movie that I got a real Doc Holiday autograph afterwards!
The Quick and the Dead os so criminally underrated!!!
I want to recommend "Old Henry". Great movie with a cool twist at the end.
Indeed, another one they missed, great movie
Damn I was hoping No Country for Old Men,Bone Tomahawk and There Will Be Blood. I'm not into westerns but really enjoyed them along with Hell and High Water and Logan
The moment when Bill Money learns that they killed his friend and he downs half a bottle of whiskey is tranformative in the movies.
Tombstone is a classic 🪦
You left out Bone Tomahawk. It’s a great film. A western thriller with some serious horror elements. Also Kurt Russell is in it. It’s really great yo!
Open Range is my favorite Western of the 21st Century thus far. Kevin Costner paid perfect homage to classic western masterpieces, specifically:
.My Darling Clementine (1946), directed By John Ford
.High Noon (1952), directed By Fred Zinneman
.Rio Bravo (1959), directed by Howard Hawks
You can tell Kevin Costner has great admiration for the classics and he practically made an amalgam of previous masterpieces and ended up making one himself. Great film.
Open Range has one of the best shootouts of any western.
That shootout scene at the end is lit
@@wowbobwow37the best ever in a western IMO
Yes!! Thank you! It's my favorite Western. Love love this film. Everything about it is spot on.
The Harder They Fall is chronically slept on
Ranker lists are live and continue to accrue votes, so some rankings may have changed after this publishing.
The Revenant (2015) ...
Hell Or High Water (2016) ...
Wind River (2017) ...
3:10 To Yuma (2007) ...
Dances With Wolves (1990) ...
True Grit (2010) ...
Tombstone (1993) ...
Open Range (2003)
Little upset the new magnificent 7 didn't feature... Feel it is very under rated
Agree
Correction, Jane Campion won the Oscar for best director for “The Power of the Dog”.
Thank you, John Barnett revisited November 2023❤
Fact. “Hell Or High Water” was written by Taylor Sheridan, creator of the modern western series, ”Yellowstone”, and its spin-offs, “1883” and “1923”. He also wrote Denis Villeneuve’s crime thriller, “Sicario”.
@michaelmonthey5974
Taylor Sheridan also wrote and directed Wind River (2017). But my favourite out of his American Frontier Trilogy is Hell or High Water. Sicario and Wind River are great but Hell or High Water is something special
*THE HATEFUL 8*
Posse and The Harder They Fall should've hit this list.
I was just about to comment that! Definitely underrated
Best Westerns Since 1990:
1. Unforgiven
2. 3:10 to Yuma
3. Back to the Future Part 3
4. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
5. Dead Man
6. True Grit
7. Tombstone
WatchMojo, thank you for putting Tombstone in the top 3.
It's my favorite western movie since "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly".
But Tombstone isn't in the Top 3. WatchMojo put it at Number 4.
If you're going to include movies with western tropes and influences, like Logan and Hell or High Water, you have to mention Rob Zombies "Devils Rejects" which utilizes a plethora of western tropes and spaghetti western inspired cinematography. It has the uber-violence of Peckinpah and the extreme close ups of Sergio Leone. Not to mention the quintessential antihero/outlaw ending, gunned down in a hail of bullets. (I wrote my thesis for a western film class on this btw)😂
A Million Ways to Die in The West... Seth MacFarlane put a pretty good spin on Modern Westerns.
Tombstone and Open Range are my favorite modern western movies
Old Henry should also be on this list. It’s criminally underrated. Tim Blake Nelson also stars, but it’s a lot more badass than Buster Skruggs.
The power of the dog didn't win the academy award for best picture in 2021 !!
Thank For the Top 20 Video 🤠🎥🎞️🎬👍👌💖🤩😁😍🥰💝💐🌟🥇🏆
what about "Dances with wolves" and "The Missing"? They certainly belong in this list, imo.
Yes, love Buster Scruggs, it really deserves more love.
"The harder they fall" definitely should've made the list being 1 of few westerns with a mostly black cast plus the story and movie are great
The Quick and Dead is the most interesting (and yet cliche) western I've ever seen. Gotta love Sam Rami!
Love many you noted (e.g., Tombstone, Open Range, Unforgiven); have some new ones to try, too; thanks! A bit surprised "Dances with Wolves (1990) was left out though.
Unforgiven is not only the best western Clint Eastwood has ever done, it’s the best western ever made!
I can’t believe that magnificent 7 remake is not on this list. Not the greatest movie, but it was fun, action packed, great cast each with their own speciality. Just fun. This and 3:10 to Yuma were my favorite westerns since tombstone and unforgiven
Dead Man is one of my favorite westerns of all time for how surreal it is
Cannabalism. Yecch.
Best western of all time: Once Upon a Time in the West.
Another Kurt Russell solid but brutal modern western is 2015’s Bone Tomahawk
Even though it’s from 1985, Silverado is one of my favorite contemporary Westerns.
Can’t believe “Pale Rider” didn’t make this list.
It’s before 1990 is why
Loved The quick and the dead
I feel Maverick could have taken a backseat and included Hostiles.
Several they listed could have been excluded and better ones added
Hell or High Water with Chris Pine and Jeff Bridges is a modern classic
Ben Foster is the man
@@chrishampton8842 💯
Okay, it's really strange to see Leonardo DiCaprio's "bookend" performances as two dramatically different characters in this.
Maybe they don't fit in the category as described by WM, but I would give votes to both Magnificent Seven and Bone Tomahawk, as well. Great list, though! There are a few I haven't seen that I will definitely check out. Thanks!
Buster Scruggs needs his own movie. I kept hoping they were gonna circle back around and tie it all together somehow, maybe feature something from before his untimely death, but nope
Tombstone should be 1, my opinion! Unforgiven is fantastic too tho
🐊 "Rango" (2011)
Love that movie. Johnny Depp is wonderful in it, along with the rest of the cast
That is a great one!
Where's Rango?
Brilliantly done Western.
1. Unforgiven
2. Open Range
3. Tombstone
4. 3:10 to Yuma
5. Quick and the Dead
I’ll take your top 4 in that same order for sure
@@chrishampton8842 Nice!
Honestly, Q&D is a guilty pleasure that I saw with the right friends at the right time.
@@robertbouley7697 same here but I can’t have it at #5 lol!
It's Coboys Amezing!😊👍
I LOVE Appaloosa...that is all. I forgot all about it I love it so much...smile
Couple of phenomenal modern western shows if anyone's interested:
Hell on Wheels - AMC - Don't be fooled by the name, it isn't a Sons of Anarchy knock-off, and that's probably why this show didn't catch on. Hell on Wheels is what they call the traveling camp installing one of the two major railroads during the race to the west. Taking place soon after the Civil War it divides attention between all the races and players of the day... the Irish, Chinese, freed African Americans, native Americans, etc... all alongside the residual tension between ex Union and Confederate soldiers. First season is cliche western feel, but characters and stories develop wonderfully through the rest of the series. Subjects can get dark, things weren't easy those days, but isn't that the interest? Lead character is badass, and the intro song is the best I've ever heard, the reason I never once skipped the intro. Binge worthy.
Was on Netflix but now I think AMC, tubi, and freevee.
Godless - Netflix - A runaway outlaw seeks refuge on a ranch run by a woman alongside her mother-in-law and her coming-of-age son on the outskirts of a town of women left over after a mine accident killed all their men. This is a mini-series with one season, short and sweet. Jeff Daniels is the villain? Why yes he is.
Netflix original.
There's others I'm sure, let me know I'd love to hear'em.
Yeah yeah I didn't forget about Deadwood. I'm just mentioning a few people may not have heard about.
Watcmojo should do a Top 10, 20 or 30 John Ford movies and Top 10 Sergio Leone Movies.
The quick and the dead is a great film.👍
Quigley Down Under (1990)
I was waiting for Quigley to show up. Kinda disappointed that it wasn't included.
I watched a Cult Classic Western Comedy called Gunless. It's a story about a typical western protagonist wanted for a crime hiding out in a Canadian town. With great performances and a solid duck out of water style script, Gunless is a movie that I recommend.
I absolutely agree with True Grit being number one, but you have forgotten to include The Revenant.
No country for old men better be number one, one of the best movies ever
Wondering how it wasn’t even on this list myself
@@chrishampton8842 ikr 😵💫
damn, I wanted Rango to make the list :/
Can you do comic book origin of Marvel's Constrictor?
Interesting
9:39 correction, Jane Campion won best director for this movie not best picture and where is no country for old men?
I know it's a videogame but Red Dead Redemption 2 is easily my favorite western and favorite videogame ever period.
Best ever: THE ADVENTURES OF BRISCO COUNTY JR. Bruce Campbell is KING. Hail to the king, baby!
What movie the thumbnail from
Tbh, I expected movies like The Hateful Eight, and Bone Tomahawk to be in the list.
Whoa!
The harder they fall
Can you do top 10 Marvel heroes outside the jurisdiction of Sony who Tom Holland could play in the MCU?
Genuinely can't understand how it's possible to make this list and not include No Country for Old Men - should absolutely be in the top 5 (it's essentially the same brand of neo-Western as Hell or High Water, so it should qualify). Also, There Will Be Blood should be here somewhere.
310 to yuma and TLS were 2 films i greatly enjoyed
1. McClintock
2. Tombstone
3. Shanghai Noon
McClintock was way before 1990, sorry
@chrishampton8842 I am well aware of this, I listed my personal favorite westerns
@@phillipmitchell71 glad you’re aware
You forgot Bone Tomahawk and In the Valley of Violence
In Philippines, it has plenty of "Western Films", most notably "Tatlong Baraha" (Triple Cards)
Hostiles
It’s a masterpiece
Love love love 310 to yuma
How the heck can you forget about “The Harder They Fall”?!?
Slow west was really good. As an American from Truckee its funny to see a western made in New Zealand and without Americans😂🤣. But Tombstone is my favorite. We also need more movies about the Australian outback in the1800s.
wouldve included wind river (one of my fave movies of all time) and bone tomahawk but not a bad list at all!
really liked Apaloosa
American Outlaws was a decent one too. I liked it.
Film making and story telling-wise... Django Unchained, Hateful 8 and No Country For Old Men are miles ahead of the competition
I recommend Old Henry and The Ballad of Lefty Brown
How is Quigley Down Under not on this list?
Overlooked, "The Sisters Brothers," "Old Henry" and "The Revenant"
Im sorry but you dont' have No Country for Old men on this list WHAT!!! how is that possible that should be in the top 5 at least.
Does The Killer Inside Me count as a film noir western?
Logan made the list, but not Wyatt Earp!?
I think “The Hateful Eight” “2 Guns” and “A Million Ways To Die in The West” should be on this list.
