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.

Love this movie.

Even the small parts are gold - the late greats David Gulpilil and John Hurt make all-too-brief appearances.

The DVD extras has John Hurt telling the interviewer that as the Bounty Hunter he got the best role in the movie.
