Rotten Tomatoes Score: 100% Having been released in 1946, My Darling Clementineis the oldest film on this list. The age of the film, however, does not discount the greatness that it exudes.

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 100% Another great John Ford film,Stagecoach takes its rightful place here on the list. And again, another great performance by John Wayne.

- 'No Country for Old Men' (2007) With a phenomenal screenplay and similarly great direction, the Coen Brothers made the century's best Western so far in 2007, with No Country for Old Men.
- 'Hell or High Water' (2016) Hell or High Water is just as great a crime/heist movie as it is a Western, making it a superb blend of genres, and a movie that's likely to have excellent crossover appeal as a result.
- 'Bacurau' (2019) It's hard to classify Bacurau within a single genre, because it's one of those movies that feels like it might be easier to list the genres it doesn't belong to, in some ways.
- 'The Revenant' (2015) Though it might be best known as the movie that finally got Leonardo DiCaprio an Oscar win, The Revenant is much more than just that.
- 'The Treasure of the Sierra Madre' (1948) Director: John Huston. It's a big call considering he also made The Maltese Falcon, but the 1948 Western adventure film The Treasure of the Sierra Madre could be John Huston's greatest picture.
- 'For a Few Dollars More' (1965) Director: Sergio Leone. The second film of Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy, For a Few Dollars More sees Clint Eastwood reprising his role as the poncho-wearing Man with No Name, while Lee Van Cleef entered the fray as his unlikely ally.
- 'The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance' (1962) Director: John Ford. The notion of Western heroes and quick-drawing cowboys has become something of a modern American myth.
- 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' (1969) Director: George Roy Hill. One of the best aspects of the Western genre is the interesting and complex characters it creates, whether they are fictional or, in the case of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, mythicized versions of actual people.
