TitansFan23 Posted September 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 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. rns90 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitansFan23 Posted September 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 No Country for Old Men is there with There Will be Blood. Great movies, but not a Western so to speak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
