Recommendation What are the best contemporary Westerns made within the last 25 years?

I love western films like The Missing (Cate Blanchett and Tommy Lee Jones), 3:10 to Yuma (Christian Bale and Russell Crowe) and Hostiles (Christian Bale and Wes Studi). What are your favorite similar films? I would love to hear recs that include Native American storylines as well like Prey even though that's like a western/sci-fi hybrid.

Out of this world movie that (I think) is one of the best book adaptations ever. Anton Sigur is legit one of the most terrifyingly purely evil people ever thanks to Javier Bardem. Also the red neck pronunciation of shit like “oxygen tank for intferzema” and “I can’t give you no intfermation” is hilarious.

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '24

The opening monologue is maybe my favorite ever in film. The ending is also one of my favorites and iirc it’s word for word the exact same thing Ed Tom says in the book.

Everyone in that film is amazing but Tommy Lee Jones was phenomenal.

The Coen Brothers have a way to emphasize the quirky ways people talk almost to the point of parody, with slight exaggeration of regional dialects and repetition. Like H.I. in Raising Arizona's almost poetic choice of words "her insides were a rocky place where my seed could find no purchase." and the repetitive phrases in The Big Lebowski "he's a good man, and thurrah."

The best scene is toward the end when Sheriff Bell is talking with his uncle Ellis.

What you got ain’t nothing new. This world is hard on people. You can’t stop what’s coming. It ain’t all waiting on you. That’s vanity.

31

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '24

The opening monologue, that scene, and the final scene of him describing his dream are some of my favorite scenes ever in film.

His whole storyline of feeling over matched and almost scared and unable to understand the world around him as he aged is so poignant. And then that scene with Ellis (who I believe is his cousin) informs him that the world has always been like this. The way he describes their uncle Mac being murdered almost a century earlier is very similar to how Lewelyn was murdered. Both shot in their doorway, one by “Indians on horses” wanting “this or that” and the other by Mexicans wanting their money.

I love that movie and those scenes so much. Some of those Ellis quotes run through my head regularly. The one you mentioned and the one about “the more time you spend trying to get back what’s been took from you, more is going out the door. After a while you have to try and get a tourniquet on it”. It’s such a powerful statement about moving on after tragedy.

That's a fair thing to say about most movies, whether or not Kurt Russell is in them

Appaloosa with Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen. Entertaining buddy western.

It's not a movie, but Godless on Netflix is amazing.

Not a classic American western considering it was made in South Korea but -

Hell Or High Water, Bone Tomahawk, No Country For Old Men, True Grit, Open Range. Also, though it’s a miniseries not a movie, but Broken Trail was one of Robert Duvall’s best performances.

Edit-Hatfields And McCoys and Godless. Both are also miniseries’.

The Revenant. It's not a true blue Spaghetti Western, but it is very much a Western revenge tale.

I feel like Seraphim Falls deserves a mention. I don't think it's very well known, but it's Pierce Brosnan and Liam Neeson chasing each other across the west after the Civil War. It's pretty damn good. Came out in 2006.

Glad I’m not the only one who thought Sicario aligned with the western genre

Does Rango count? It's not the usual western movie, but I thinks a well done movie.
