The Best Western Movies Ever Made
Mccabe and mrs. miller (1971)
Warren Beatty and Julie Christie played leading characters in this $1 million production. Created in 1979, it was not considered a Western back in the day and was mainly missed by critics. Investors got their money back mostly because of Leonard Cohen’s soundtrack.
A short time ago, this beautiful story was again introduced to the public and nowadays is considered a revisionist Western. It is now considered one of the top 10 best Western films of all time. It is even part of the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress, which says it is: "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant."
Movie Plot: A gambler and a prostitute become business partners in a remote Old West mining town, and their enterprise thrives until a large corporation arrives on the scene.
