Many Western movies in American history have long deserved a place alongside the classics. Over the years, the Western genre has contributed significantly to cinematic history, as many of the films considered to be among the greatest movies of all time belong to that medium. From the likes of Red River and High Noon to The Magnificent Seven and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, the genre boasts a long list of films with household name or cult classic status. But perhaps due in part to the number of greats the genre has produced, quite a few haven't gotten the level of recognition they were worthy of, both now and when they were released. That includes works from genre legends such as Gary Cooper and Glenn Ford, who, despite their excellent resumes of Westerns, have had their fair share of under-the-radar gems. There are also movies from actors like Audie Murphy, who made lesser-known but still high-quality Westerns. Here are 10 that deserve to be remembered.
