More modern day westerns worth buying ?

[menaceuk]

Except the obvious like

Tombstone
Unforgiven
Assassination of Jesse Jame


What are other more modern say westerns worth buying ? must be out on blu-ray either here in the UK or region free in the US/Canada

[manicsounds]

3:10 To Yuma is one obvious choice.
The Good The Bad The Weird
Deadwood - The Complete Series is another great choice. (US release is region locked)

Yeah Deadwood is amazing, but like you it is region locked as "A" so nopt really a choice.

The good the bad and the weird though is some kind of Asian movie right ? don't think i ever saw it.

Its prob. one of my favourite movies. Very well made, great cast, very nice score ... and doesnt hold back on violence either.

Highest recommendation.

Good, Bad, Weird is also a very very good watch ...

Yeah that's pretty good. Not sure if they're available over here but Wyatt Earp, Open Range (two Costners pictures) and The Missing are pretty good.

I think the Sergio Leone/Clint Eastwood ones are my favourite though with Once Upon a Time in the West in the mix as well.

I second those.

I do like "Appaloosa," but I think most people don't, or find it just okay. "Sukiyaki Western Django" is kinda interesting too, but I wouldn't recommend it as a buy-worthy title.

The only other thing that comes to mind is "No Country For Old Men," which is kinda western-y, but mostly a crime drama of sorts. "There Will Be Blood" is a good film, but once again, mostly a drama (and it's pretty darn long).

I recently rented "The Quick and the Dead" 1997 version, and thought it was pretty good.

Also, if you don't mind something rather disgusting, "Ravenous" is an interesting western/horror mash-up.

apart from those already mentioned, Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada although the german release is the one to get.

[The Driver]

3:10 To Yuma
Seraphim Falls
Proposition, The

Damn fine films.

[nightcrawler]

Dances with wolves anyone?!? Also, both Three burials of Melquiades Estrada and No country for old men are sort of modern day westerns. All are excellent.

Is The Missing available on Blu-ray anywhere? I like this film but have never seen it on BD

There's a placeholder for the US version but I don't think its been released yet. Shame it's a pretty good film.

I think we can add Firefly to the list, if we can add modern day westerns we can add sci-fi ones as well! Plus There Will Be Blood that's pretty authentic too.

The quik and the dead is one I like. no country for old men is a fine film but isn't really a westerna nsd there will be blood Idodn't like too much.
