Best Modern Western Movies

[rhodesbe]

I'm becoming a bigger fan of the genre lately. 'Modern Western' qualifies as a non spaghetti-western, or white guys painted up as indian sidekicks, or John Wayne taking the leading role. Not that there's anything wrong with those films, but they just aren't what I'm thinking of. I'm sure you understand.

Here's a short list. If you don't mind, expand on it. I'm having a hard time finding ones I haven't seen:

Dances with Wolves
Tombstone
3:10 to Yuma (new version)
The Missing
True Grit (new version)
Open Range
Unforgiven
Little House on the Prairie (just kidding)

Like Hell on Wheels and Hatfields & McCoys on AMC.

I thought Hatfields & McCoys was horrible, and to add to the list, Young Guns!

The Outlaw Josey Wales, so many one liners.

Opps you said modern. Sliverado. Great for any time frame.

[Lone Wolf '49]

Unforgiven, hands down. The real west.

Well, just to stir the pot a bit, I've not seen many on the above listed names except for The Quick and the Dead with Sam Elliott. (Probably not the same movie as referred to above.)

For my money, I don't go to movies anymore. Oh, and I'm just about old enough to remember the "old west" and the newer movies don't compare.

Maybe that's because I've been a cowboy before.

Broken trail is an ok western with Robert Duvall

Last stand at saber river
