For Red Dead fans looking to keep up those gunslinger vibes, youre in luck.
Because there are a million different Western movies that satisfy anyones taste for yeehaw mayhem.
The problem is that every other cowboy wants to kill him to claim his title.
(The exception being Quentin Tarantino, who has a cameo in the movie.)
Red Dead Redemption fans owe it to themselves to seek out this underappreciated masterpiece.
Django Unchained (2012)
The D is silent.
Renowned filmmaker Quentin Tarantino formally entered his cowboy era with his rollicking 2012 classic Django Unchained.
The two team up on a mutually-beneficial mission to infiltrate a plantation and rescue Djangos wife.
El Topo (1970)
This aint your granddaddy’s cowboy movies.
The Dark Tower is simply not a good movie, disappointingly so.
(Katharine Ross also memorably stars as Longabaghs lover, Etta.)
Do not be surprised to learn if the developers at Rockstar studied Stagecoach forRed Deads mission designs.
Corral and the Earp Vendetta Ride.
You wont regret it.
To be clear: Its not that Hollywood stopped making Westerns after The Wild Bunch.
True Grit attracted a load of Oscar nominations (it won none, however), and rightfully so.
Its a modern classic that shows exactly what the heroes and villains of these stories were really made of.
Shane (1953)
Come back, Shane!
In 2012 he delivered his riveting revenge picture Django Unchained, a tremendous work in its own right.
But in 2015, Tarantino did the impossible: he made an even better movie.
The Dollars Trilogy (1964-1966)
There are few who are synonymous with Westerns like Clint Eastwood.
Without Eastwood, you dont get characters like Star Wars Din Djarin, or The Dark Towers Roland Deschain.
You certainly dont get Red Dead characters like John Marston and Arthur Morgan.
