Why doesn't anybody make great Westerns anymore?

The last great one was Unforgiven, over 20 years ago.
>>
I know it's not old enough for your non-mainstream tastes, but Django Unchained is fantastic.
>>
It's not our fault you haven't seen Slow West or any number of great Westerns made between then and now fagget
>>
>>64588527
Unforgiven is the best western of the last 30 years, but theres been some good ones since.
3:10 to yuma
open range
appaloosa
Django
true grit

The Salvation was a pretty good western.

No it wasn't.

appaloolsa and true grit were both great imo

But none of that matters if it's a little too popular. Oh and there's a black main character, c-c-cuck!

Unforgiven is boring garbage. Pic related is the best Western of the last 30 years.

is that the one set in Manchuria?

I heard it's pretty good

3:10 to Yuma was good

Tombstone is fun, but you're fucking retarded if you think its better than Unforgiven

if only for those flavor savors all those guys minus Val Kilmer has

Yeah, and yeah.
It's a crazy film and a good homage to classic westerns.

It's good you liked it, but some people don't. Not because of the race stuff but because taste is subjective anon, and that's ok. Django as a character felt really thin, not much there. Waltz's character too was a little too much...Waltz, a lesser Landa with his idiosyncrasies. The pacing was strangely off in a number of places, most glaringly the QT cameo. There was surprisingly little heart in the journey to Broomhilda, which would have helped. Jackie and the Bride's stories were more endearingly told. Leo was great, felt like alive. The hip hop on the soundtrack was out of place too.
>>
>>64588807
Fun? A little. But it's far grittier than Unforgiven. Also things actually happen in Tombstone, like shootouts, manhunts, character development. And it's a true story.

What happens in Unforgiven again? Oh yeah, Gene Hackman builds a shitty house for half of it and Clint Eastwood is getting too old for this shit in the other half.

People like the IDEA of Unforgiven, but it's very poorly executed.
>>
3:10 to Yuma and True Grit were alright. You can't really come up with a great western setpiece anymore because most of it will feel too cliché and what doesn't feel cliché will seem like you're deliberately going out of your way to avoid a trope.
>>
>>64588915
I do agree with the hip-hop being out of place, as well as the cameo, but I suppose the rest is subjective.
You're right about Django vs the Bride though, she is a lot more endearing and interesting as a character. I still feel it is a good western.

Does Ed Harris age? I was watching the mini series of The Stand (total shit BTW) and he plays the general trying to contain the virus. That shit was 23 years ago and he looks the same
>>
>>64589164
He's got the same gene as Steve Martin and Sean Connery where you look 50 by age 30, but stay that way until your late 80s.
>>
>>64588527

>>64589200
That asian lady gene?

>>64588767
There's no point arguing with those /poI/ack memesters
>>
>>64589289
Asian women look like teenagers until they're 50, then they look 160 until death.

Slow West came out last year and is fantastic, check it out.

3:10 to Yuma was pretty good, which surprised me.

True Grit was alright as well.

The genre just doesn't hold up well in this day and age.

everything in tombstone was grossly exaggerated to make an action movie. the realism of unforgiven is a lot "grittier"
