At one time, western movies were as ubiquitous in Hollywood as today's superhero films. Studios roll them out year after year, some better than others, but to some extent, this type of game disappears completely. We still see some strange western movies from time to time, even some strange good western movies, but generally speaking, this is an abandoned type, or it is only used to tell a revisionist story, which is suitable for the limitations of the traditional western film type. This is a pity because it is one of the most gorgeous and eye-catching types in film history.
But it still exists in the era of streaming media! Whether you want classic, modern or something in between, we have compiled a list of the best western movies on Dogesflix. In fact, although streaming services may be insignificant in terms of classic western movies, there are still a few great films representing this type.
Django won't lock
Quentin Tarantino's first official entry into the field of Westerns was Django unchained in 2012, which showed his love for Westerns. Tarantino opens with a traditional Italian western, but as the story continues, there are, as expected, several different directions. The core of the story is a slave named Jango (Jamie Fox). He is released by a bounty hunter (Christopher Waltz). He and the hunter rescue his wife bloom Hilda (Kerry Washington) from a dangerous Planter (Leonardo DiCaprio). The 165 minute film is a true epic, but every turning point is eye-catching and entertaining. Thanks to Fox and Washington, it is also one of Tarantino's most moving films—— Adam Guo
Good, bad, ugly
The classic good, bad and ugly is the best of Sergio Lyon's anonymous trilogy. The plot is race and blonde's discovery of stolen gold (Clint Eastwood), who knows the location of the tomb, angel's eyes, fank Yabao (Lee), who knows the treasure, and tuco (ileva), a villain who just wants to keep blonde alive because he knows the location of the treasure. This is a grand epic of an Italian western. Due to the electronic director, exciting performance and the unforgettable soundtrack of Ennio Morricone, it moves in an instant and is basically the pinnacle of this genre. Although the film is long, good, bad and ugly is faster and more powerful than its half scale film—— Matt Goldberg
a gangster
Although set after the American Civil War, the 2017 film "enemy" is not necessarily a classic western. On the one hand, this is a story about the cruel treatment of Indians in the United States, but on the other hand, it is incredibly cruel and violent. Scott Cooper directed dark films such as "black mass" and "escape from the melting pot". He tells this special story in a quiet and nervous way, telling the last scene before the retirement of an American captain (Christian Bell) in 1892: according to the instructions of President Harrison, Escort a dying Cheyenne war leader in prison to his tribal territory in Montana. A widow (Rosamund Parker) joins him on his journey. Her family is taken away by violent American Indian Raiders and other cavalry who have nothing but contempt for their prisoners and his family. This is a serious, thoughtful Western about violence, prejudice and forgiveness—— Adam Guo
