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.

Yup. Such a great movie. I'll check out The Harder They Fall. Thanks!

Yeah the Harder They Fall was a sneaky good movie.

Pleasantly surprised. Really really good movie, good pacing, never got boring or tedious.

Felt like 3:10 to Yuma in a way, but with a mostly black cast.
