Now I am in the mood for some other modern westerns I may have missed. View Quote This is the modern western you're looking for... Lonely Are the Brave 1962 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056195/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_58 After Kirk Douglas read "The Brave Cowboy" by Edward Abbey, he purchased the rights to it and gave the project to his friend Dalton Trumbo. Douglas said Trumbo's screenplay was perfect, the best he had ever read, and he didn't change one word of it. View Quote Not only does Kirk Douglas consider this his favorite picture, but his son Michael considers it his father's best work, too. Douglas also flouted convention, and caution, at the time, by performing his own stunts in the movie. View Quote The one-armed man tells John W. "Jack" Burns (Kirk Douglas) in the bar that he lost his arm at Okinawa during World War II. Bill Raisch (One Arm) lost his right arm in a fire on-board a ship during World War II. Raisch was Burt Lancaster's stand-in, and later landed a recurring role, as the real killer of Dr. Richard Kimble's wife, on The Fugitive (1963). View Quote |

I can tell you which two to absolutely avoid at all costs:
Bone Tomahawk. It was a horror flick not a western. And simply not good. Buster Scruggs. I think I’d rather chew on shards of glass coated in agar that’s been growing MRSA, salmonella, and e-coli rather than watch that piece of shit ever again. |

Lawless Range was worth watching. Sort of a Neo-Western, like Hell Or High Water.

Quoted: Modern westerns? Sorry, can't help. Go to IMDB and look up Randolph Scott, and Glenn Ford. Anything with them in it should keep you entertained! View Quote You would do it for Randolf Scott: Hand to heart "Randolph Scott" Hostiles fucking sucked. I can't believe how many mouth breathers here, liked it. Homesteader leaves a log cabin to stand in the open when Indians attack. Predictable outcome. Capt. Blocker, supposedly a gee wiz Cavalry leader never heard the phrase "Scouts out". Repeatedly gets ambushed and let's all his men get killed. |

Quoted: Some of you missed the part where OP said modern. View Quote Oh Modern.......you mean Brokeback Mountain? Not for me, but, you do you..... I just couldnt stop myself, I apologize lol But for real, what ever you do, stay away from The Power of the Dog.........worst 2 hours of my life, and it never got better. |

Why limit yourself to modern westerns?
Lot's of great stuff out there that isn't Dances with Wolves and newer. |

Godless mini series on Netflix is pretty good.
Deadwood series Deadwood movie Hell on Wheel Hostile |

The Long Riders
Adventures of Briscoe County, Jr. (If you're a Bruce Campbell fan) How about Kung Fu with David Carradine? There was a 1970s movie about a cowboy who ends up in Japan fighting ninjas that I remember as being good. But I was a kid so keep that in mind. I have not been able to find it anywhere! That reminds me, "Bearcats!" It's a modern western that's not modern! It's set in the pre-WW1 west and is about two soldiers of fortune who travel around in a Stutz Bearcat getting into adventures. |

I guess this thread confirms my thoughts.
1980 movie Tom Horn with Steve McQueen is an overlooked and underrated western. I thought it was excellent and was based on a real man. |

check out salvation, good revenge movie with eva green mads mikkelson, jefferry dean morgan

The War Wagon
And I'm going to throw in Last of the Mohicans if you're primarily looking for settlers vs. Indians action. It's more "Daniel Boone" than western but it's a damn good movie. |
|
No one mentioned Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. It's modern in the sense that it has a modern style and isn't a typical old timey western.
|
|
There's a forgotten Burt Reynolds western called The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing that's pretty good.

Quoted: Hostiles. View Quote That was one I hated when I first watched it. Slow, slow, slow. I was expecting more action scenes. Felt like watching paint dry or grass grow. It was more of a movie about the west changing and the US Soldiers coming to terms with the change. One killed himself because of PTSD and another was sent to hang for "crimes against the Indians" that he said "they all did the same thing" Once I realized that, it is one of my favorite westerns. |
