The 50 Best Western Movies Ever Made

The history of movie Westerns more or less begins with the end of the Old West itself. Westerns thrived in the silent era, and though the genre's popularity has ebbed and flowed ever since — largely fading from view in the '80s but enjoy several resurgences in succeeding decades — it's never threatened to fade away. The Western is a vital genre with the habit of reinventing itself every few years that doubles as a way to talk about America's history while reflecting on its present.
