The Best Westerns of All Time According to Critics (And Stacker)

For decades in America, the most popular movie genre was the Western. Audiences loved gun-slinging sheriffs, dashing outlaws, thundering cattle drives, horseback pursuits, and majestic landscapes. More Westerns were produced in the 1950s than all other movie genres combined, but while they have attracted smaller crowds since then, they still have a persistent appeal. Here is Stacker's list of the 100 best Western films of all time. The list was compiled using data from Metacritic, a site that collects reviews from respected critics and uses them to determine the average rating.
