I'm a western fan, and nowadays it seems hard to find a good western movie. So could you guys please recommend me a good one, or various?

My only requirements are:
1. They must be good and serious (which probably excludes B-movies);
2. Be set on the American frontier and real (therefore no sci-fi, modern, or any settings like that);
3. Be modern (post-year 2000, in way to exclude the more than know classics).

TV shows are also a go, and Deadwood has caught my attention. But it seems the show had been canceled abruptly after the third season, and therefore cut short. As in left unfinished, and that's the reason I haven't picked it up yet. So, is it worth investing time watching it knowing the end state of the product?

And here's a short list out of the top of my head of already seen movies and TV shows that fit the description:
Open Range, Appaloosa, Hell on Wheels, 3:10 to Yuma, True Grit, The Assassination of Jesse James, There Will Be Blood, Blackthorn.

Please help me scratch this itch! Razz

Yes, Deadwood is absolutely worth it. While you're at it, pick up Justified as well; that's still going, also with Olyphant.

Thank you for recommending Deadwood. Smile

And I absolutely love Justified, but it ain't actually based on the American frontier. That's why I didn't mentioned it. Razz

Edit: typo.

Deadwood is the best western series ever created in the history of mankind. Period.

Justified on the other hand was utter shite. I can't even fathom how those two could ever be mentioned in the same breath.

If this scene doesn't convince you about the greatness of Deadwood , then I don't know what will.

These scenes don't actually show the "greatness" of Deadwood. Much like the "motherfucker" scene doesn't actually show the "greatness" of The Wire. These are great scenes, which to people who have scene the series are very dear, perhaps, but to an outside looker, would most likely appear juvenile and repenting.

Mind Is Full Of Fuck

Since there are 1-2 of these every episode, I say they do show the greatness of Deadwood.

And Swearengen might be the best character in any tv-show ever made.

Django Unchained, by Tarantino if you didn't see that yet (doubtful though Very Happy )

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1853728/

Copper

Not exactly western, but set in the American Civil War time, New York. Excellent show.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2006374/

Hatfield and McCoys

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1985443/

Hope it helps.

Sadly I already knew about them. Sad

Django Unchained is on my wait list. Copper and Hatfields & McCoys are already in my possession.

I am grateful nonetheless. Smile

Sadly, not too many western movies or tv series made in our days. Especially quality ones...Like science fiction, the genre it's not relevant anymore for the corporate douchebags that rule the tv companies.

Projection is a fine self-defense mechanism prior to its discovery.

I am neither bored nor willing to pick a fight, I am merely reflecting on the obvious here. In this case your self-aggrandizement versus t3h ebil corporations.
