15 Underrated Westerns You Need to Watch According to /Film

The western is a great genre but an odd one in nature. It covers a very specific era, is filled with easily identifiable tropes and archetypes (including a few that haven't aged particularly well), and yet there is so much variety within it. This has, in turn, led to a vast number of iconic films. In fact, there are so many great westerns that some gems are always going to be overlooked. This is a list of the best underrated westerns that /Film thinks deserve a wider audience. This is not a list of the most underrated westerns they can think of, but rather a selection of excellent films that are rarely found on "best of all time" lists. Once you're done with the classics make sure you check these other fantastic westerns out at the earliest opportunity.
