Look up any list of the best Westerns of all time and you might notice a bit of a theme. The overwhelming majority of the movies tend to be from before the mid-1960s, with a few sprinkled in from the 70s to spice things up. After all, by the late-20th century the golden age of Westerns was most definitely over.
Still, there have been some superb Westerns intermittently since then, with one of the most adored being Unforgiven, which cleaned up at the Oscars in 1993. If you've never seen this Clint Eastwood epic (like me until just a few days ago), head to Amazon Prime Video as soon as you can – it's a stunner and is a recent addition to the streamer's library.
