Howdy, folks! Previously on this lovely ranking series, Inviso hosted a successful MCU topic. Next up, we're gonna head west for some cowboy shit. A group of Board 8ers watched 30 westerns and ranked them from their favorite in 1st to their least favorite in 30th. They also did writeups of their thoughts on each of the films in question. I then calculated the results and now here we are.

Now your gut reaction might be that Westerns are all one-note, shoot the natives, white dudes in hats kinds of movies. In some cases thats definitely true. However! Westerns can also bend genres and show surprising versatility. Strong female leads? Strong black leads? Strong Hispanic leads? Lotsa spaghetti? Comedy? Kung fu? Horror? Outer space? Whatever the fuck Wild Wild West is aiming for? Weve got that shit in spades, partner.

Bear in mind, I made two lists. This is Westerns 1. Westerns 2 will be done in the future. Chances are, the movies you will be asking Stifled you moron, where is ____ are on that list.

In this topic, you will get rankings, fun facts, perhaps a bit of history, and then some hard hitting opinions from us. I am your host, StifledSilence, and I hope you will enjoy the ride.
