Five years ago (almost to the day!) these two threads made an effort to determine the ALL-TIME Greatest Westerns:

> **[Best Western (movie)](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=556655)**
>
> What’s your vote for the All-Time best Western movie? Any era as long as the setting is pre-1930 and somewhere in either the Western USA or counterparts in Australia. If you just can’t quite pull it down to one, try for a top 5. The Outlaw Josey...

The one started by **MovieMogul** has received 100 votes as of this post and is still active.

The purpose of this thread is to update the list.

Please refer to

> **[List of Western films of the 2010s](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Western_films_of_the_2010s)**
>
> A list of Western films released in the 2010s.
> See: List of Western television series

**List of Western films of the 2010s**  
and use your own system of selecting no more than TEN movies from that list and posting them here.

From the nominations you submit, I will set up a poll (or bracket) to allow all DOPERS to help pick SDMB’s choice(s).

As always, if there’s doubt over the date of a TV Show or Movie, please check with [http://www.imdb.com/](http://www.imdb.com/)

Anything older that 2010 will not be included in the poll/bracket.
