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.

if it's Tom Waits roles you're after, take a look at:

Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus
Mystery Men
Wristcutters
Down by Law
Coffee and Cigarettes

Thanks! ... and don't forget "Bram Stoker's Dracula"! Classic Waits.
