Best Modern Day Western.

Hell on Wheels and Dead Wood are good Western TV series. Lonesome Dove was probably one of the best Western mini-series IMO.

 

No Country for old Men… I don’t really consider that a Western. It plays out in the west, but just because characters wear cowboy hats, doesn’t make it a Western.  It dealt with the cartel and a hit man. Hell, you could try to put SOA under that category.

 

Silverado, and Young Guns we’re entertaining, but not what I would consider great Western movies.

Fair enough.  I think Tombstone may be a more entertaining movie.

If it did it would go straight to #1 but no it doesn't count.    I was thinking more of "No Country for Old Men"

Internet searching turned up Django Unchained, which I wouldn’t have considered.

I also don’t consider Thunderheart a Western…

Yeah it's not.  It's an examination of the plight suffered by the American Indians in "modern" times. It was made in 1990.  I've seen it a couple of times.  I can't imagine something like that being made tonight.

I'd go with (past 30 years)...

 

Unforgiven

3:10 to Yuma

Dead Man

True Grit

The Quick and the Dead

Tombstone

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

 

I haven't seen Django Unchained or The Hateful Eight (which I fully intend to rectify!) so can't include those.  And No Country definitely has that feel to it but I don't think it can really be called a Western.

 

No country is a great "modern western" but it isnt a modern "western"
