A Fistful of Dollars

Several years afterRockstar Gamesrevolutionized video games with the Grand Theft Auto series – a franchise immersed in contemporary, urban crime – the studio applied its unique craftsmanship for open-world immersion to a completely different era: the American Old West.

Thus birthed the Red Dead Redemption series, beginning with 2004’s Red Dead Revolver and continuing through the sequels Red Dead Redemption (2010), Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018), and Red Dead Online (2019). Not unlike Grand Theft Auto, the Red Dead games allow players to explore an intricately-detailed sandbox mimicking the sights and sounds of the American frontier. Only the skyscrapers, sports cars, and machine guns of GTA are traded in for saloons, steeds, and revolvers, but the blistering action and high-stakes drama are all the same.

For Red Dead fans looking to keep up those gunslinger vibes, you’re in luck. Because there are a million different Western movies that satisfy anyone’s taste for yeehaw mayhem. But listing a million movies is daunting, so below, we have just 32 must-see Western movies for die-hard Red Dead fans.

The Gunfighter

Audiences may know Gregory Peck best as the noble attorney Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird, or perhaps Audrey Hepburn’s brief boyfriend in the rom-com classic Roman Holiday. But in Henry King’s The Gunfighter, released in 1950, Peck strapped on spurs holstered revolvers to play Jimmy Ringo, a famous gunslinger who wishes to retire from his violent lifestyle and be with his estranged wife and son. The problem is that every other cowboy wants to kill him to claim his title. Released at the apex of Westerns being the premier genre for populist cinema, Peck rules the screen with swagger never seen before, and has informed so many others who’ve come after.

The Quick and the Dead still

Sam Raimi is popularly known for his splatterhouse Evil Dead movies and his blockbuster Marvel superhero movies, but the man has quite the diverse and deep filmography. In 1995, Raimi galloped into Western filmmaking, along with a star-studded cast of Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, Russell Crowe, and Leonardo DiCaprio. In this revision period drama, a gunslinger known only as “The Lady” rides into a frontier town and enters a lethal competition as revenge for her father. While The Quick and the Dead bombed at the box office, it’s enjoyed today as an underrated gem in both the ‘90s Western renaissance and even Raimi’s own body of work. Red Dead Redemption fans owe it to themselves to seek out this underappreciated masterpiece.

17. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

A seminal feature in the canon of both Westerns and “buddy” duo movies, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid stars Paul Newman and Robert Redford playing real-life outlaws Butch Cassidy (Newman) and Harry Longabagh (Redford) in their desperate escape to Bolivia after a string of train robberies put law enforcement hot on their trails. (Katharine Ross also memorably stars as Longabagh’s lover, Etta.) Not only are Redford and Newman an immortal onscreen pair, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid are emblematic of late-’60s Hollywood at its best, its story of tight-knit outlaws resonant for anyone, especially those who’ve spent time in Red Dead Online.

16. Blazing Saddles (1974)

15. High Plains Drifter (1973)

High Plains Drifter

In his second feature as a director, Clint Eastwood saddles up once more as a mysterious gunslinger figure – an archetype he made famous through his collaborations with Sergio Leone – for what may or may not be a spooky ghost story. In High Plains Drifter, Eastwood plays a nameless stranger who wanders into a mining town whose residents refuse to acknowledge a dark secret. Though the townsfolk initially distrust him, they quickly rely on him to protect their town from dangerous outlaws who are coming back for revenge. We’ll refrain from spoiling the twist ending, just know that High Plains Drifter is up there with movies that have more going on beneath the surface.

14. No Country for Old Men (2007)

No Country for Old Men

13. Stagecoach (1939)

Stagecoach

An irreplaceable piece of American cinema, John Ford’s Stagecoach is arguably the prototypical Western epic, one of Hollywood’s first true blockbusters and foundational for the whole genre. In Stagecoach, a group of strangers riding aboard a commercial horse-drawn stagecoach endure the dangers of traversing Apache territory. While Ford’s film is unfortunately too drenched in outdated Native American stereotypes as uncivilized savages – and surely, the movie’s monumental success undoubtedly popularized the trope of “cowboys versus Indians” – Ford’s remarkable sense of action and pacing still holds up to modern standards. Do not be surprised to learn if the developers at Rockstar studied Stagecoach forRed Dead’s mission designs.

12. The Harder They Fall (2021)

The Harder They Fall

11. Tombstone (1993)

Tombstone

A major part of an all-too-brief revival of Westerns in the 1990s, Tombstone from George P. Cosmatos depicts several real-life events that mythologize the Old West as we know it today, including the O.K. Corral and the Earp Vendetta Ride. Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, Sam Elliot, Bill Paxton, Powers Boothe, Michael Biehn, and Dana Delany all star in Cosmatos’ hit movie, which follows the likes of Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday who roamed frontier Arizona in the 1880s. Tombstone is simply a polished piece of studio filmmaking that makes the most of its incredible collection of talent to make the Old West feel alive again.

10. Millionaires’ Express (1986)

9. Deadwood: The Movie (2019)

Deadwood: The Movie

While it’s a prerequisite to watch every episode of HBO’s acclaimed Western drama Deadwood, it’s all worth it. Not only is Deadwood a spectacular piece of television, but the one-off sequel movie Deadwood: The Movie (released in 2019) is also a sublime work that can fool one into believing that Westerns are far from over. Series stars Timothy Olyphant, Ian McShane, Molly Parker, and more reunite for this bit of closure to Deadwood’s epic story, which is set against South Dakota’s official recognition into statehood in 1889. If you love Red Dead Redemption, do yourself a favor: Put down the controller and binge Deadwood, and then cap it off with Deadwood: The Movie. You won’t regret it.

8. The Searchers (1956)

6. 3:10 to Yuma (1957)

3:10 to Yuma

Delmer Daves’ 1957 Western classic 3:10 to Yuma is simply another must-see for anyone trying to familiarize themselves with what informed the conception of the Red Dead series. Set in 1880s Arizona, struggling rancher Dan (Van Heflin) takes on a risky job of escorting infamous outlaw Ben Wade (Glenn Ford) to justice. While it’s more or less a movie designed around an escort mission, 3:10 to Yuma is a powerful picture about trust, obligation, and justice, and how all those things can sometimes end up in a tense standoff.

5. True Grit (2010)

4. Shane (1953)

Shane

“Come back, Shane!” With those words, it wasn’t just a little boy crying out for the man he grew to idolize, but all of moviegoers yearning to have heroes once more. In George Stevens’ renowned classic, a skilled gunfighter named Shane (Alan Ladd) takes up residence in the home of a Wyoming rancher and his family. Though Shane is simply looking for peace and quiet, he is thrust back into his old ways of violence to protect his new family. Besides its gorgeous cinematography, Shane is a major influence over other movies, including the 2017 Marvel hit Logan.

3. The Hateful Eight (2015)

(Image credit: The Weinstein Company)

The Hateful Eight

In the early 2010s, Quentin Tarantino immersed his artistry into Westerns, a genre that fundamentally shaped his imagination and taste. In 2012 he delivered his riveting revenge picture Django Unchained, a tremendous work in its own right. But in 2015, Tarantino did the impossible: he made an even better movie. The Hateful Eight, a star-studded thriller confined to a snowbound cabin in Wyoming, is a pulse-pounding picture about identity and truth as currency, with a collection of outlaws and lawmen who are forced to share the same space until they turn that space into a killing zone. The Hateful Eight is Tarantino firing on all of his cylinders, every single one, and it still feels as fresh and arresting as the day it came out.

2. The Dollars Trilogy (1964-1966)

(Image credit: United Artists)

A Fistful of Dollars

There are few who are synonymous with Westerns like Clint Eastwood. But the sole reason why he’s such a formative figure is because of his collaborations with Italian director Sergio Leone. Between 1964 and 1966, Eastwood and Leone revitalized, reimagined, and rebooted the Western genre in their “Dollars Trilogy,” a trio of semi-connected films – A Fistful of Dollars (1964), For a Few Dollars More (1965), and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (1966) – that feature Eastwood’s most famous character, alternatively known as Blondie or the Man with No Name. Whatever you call him, Eastwood’s character is so foundational to the Western genre that it’s impossible to imagine it all without him. Without Eastwood, you don’t get characters like Star Wars’ Din Djarin, or The Dark Tower’s Roland Deschain. You certainly don’t get Red Dead characters like John Marston and Arthur Morgan.
