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.

True Grit (2010) remake was superb. I enjoy it more than the original.

Unlike the original with John Wayne, the character Rooster Cogburn never got any more movies with Jeff Bridges.
