"Westerns have been around since the beginning and earned their place at the heart of the movie culture and American iconography for decades. And through all this time, many people started to love watching those cowboys on horses with revolvers, tough guys, good vs. evil as well as those beautiful landscapes. During the Golden Age of the western, countless films were produced, but even in the later decades, westerns had always remained popular and always had a fan base.
Even though the genre was criticized for having often having similar formulas, westerns started to grow many subgenres and we got so much original stories through them. That said, for whatever reason, even some of the most acclaimed westerns among the genre lovers can go overlooked by the general audiences."
