WESTERN WORLDS

Prepare for RDR 2 with the silver screen’s best cowboy classics

THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY

This wonderfully wry tale sees three scoundrels chasing Confederate gold amid the chaos of the American Civil War. Clint Eastwood has never been more iconic.

ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST

Sergio Leone bids a poignant farewell to the Spaghetti Western in this mournful classic. Henry Fonda’s unbelievably cold outlaw is one of film’s great villains.

NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN

The Coen Brothers put their spin on Cormac McCarthy’s brilliant novel, as they conjure a postmodern Western that’ll make you fear compressed air forever after.

TRUE GRIT

This modern take on the John Wayne classic doubles down on sass, with the Coens and a wonderfully weathered Jeff Bridges reimagining Rooster Cogburn’s manhunt.

THE SEARCHERS

One of the most revered Westerns ever sees the legendary John Wayne play a Civil War veteran who’s trying to track down his abducted niece. A masterpiece from director John Ford.

UNFORGIVEN

Clint Eastwood directs and stars in this deeply personal tale of a retired gunfighter’s sorrow and revenge. A bitterly sad goodbye to the Old West from the former Man With No Name.

THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN

John Sturges brings together such film legends as Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen in this tale of gunfighters trying to protect a Mexican town.
