Like an old gunslinger who just can’t seem to stay dead, the western keeps on coming back. In some ways, the form has never felt more outdated: a historically white genre rooted in conservative ideas of masculinity – not to mention all the ‘cowboys and Indians’ stuff – doesn’t seem like it would fly in a theoretically more progressive Hollywood.

Here are 50 of cinema’s best oaters: from golden-age classics to new-school dramas, and a hearty helping of spaghetti. Saddle up!
