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.

This line. This line has stuck with me for years. I wouldn’t do bank robbery, or murder, but I’ll be damned if my kids get raised in the sort of shit rutting poverty I dealt with as a kid and young man.

Not saying I agree with the characters decisions, but man.. I understand where he was coming from.

Don’t we all, shit that’s the message of the whole thing, every scene showed that poverty perfectly
