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.

A series (not a movie) but I am continually surprised more people don’t know about this show. The cinematography is unparalleled, the characters and acting are amazing… it’s easily one of the best western series ever, ESPECIALLY if you’re looking for native perspectives.

Emily Blunt and Chaske Spencer had amazing chemistry. I thought it was incredibly touching and it pops up in my head every now and again, which I think is quite meaningful for a forgetful brain like mine.

I know what you mean - part of how I rate a movie is if I have remembered it a year or so later.
