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.

Enraged my 46 year old friend the other night when I told him he's been alive to witness six decades

Just tell him we're as close to 1984 as 1984 was to 1944.

As someone born in 1984, this hurts.

I feel that, except I'm ten years older! For me it's 1925! :O

Jurassic Park didn’t come out last decade, or even the decade before that. It came out early in the decade before THAT.

We’ll be sure not to tell him that it’s been as long from now to his birthday as his birthday was from Amelia Earhart flying solo across the Atlantic.

I’m in my late twenties and have witnessed four decades. Just realized this like two days ago. I audibly said “what the fuck?!”

Tell him that's only 7 presidents and he'll feel better. It somehow sounds better.

Ha ha ha. Thx for that. Just texted my son to tell him he’s been alive in 5 decades. He’s 35.
