Images Journal: 30 Great Westerns

Add to my lists | Print this list

These are the Westerns that any fan of the genre should know. These are some of the most influential and important Westerns ever made. We don’t necessarily claim these are the 30 "best" Westerns. The Covered Wagon (1923), for example, hasn’t aged very well, but it helped change attitudes toward Westerns and allowed for serious, feature-length Westerns to follow in its wake.
