I’ll also recommend **Lone Star, Red Rock West, Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, The Rover, Hud**, and for an amusing change of pace: Frank Perry’s **Rancho Deluxe** –starring a young, playful Jeff Bridges.
Also: Check out the fantastic TV series **Justified**.

I’m ignorant on this topic, do shows/movies like breaking bad and pulp fiction count as westerns?

Outland (1981) with Sean Connery. It’s basically High Noon on a space station.

The Good, The Bad, The Weird.
Super fun movie and an amazing chase towards the end that you rarely see at that epic scale anymore, nowadays.
I think I remember reading in an interview with George Miller that that big chase scene directly inspired Mad Max Fury Road? But I haven’t been able to find it again, so let’s play it safe and treat it as a rumor.

Star Wars is basically a western in space. The Mandalorian too.

Don’t hate but Fast Five is, at its core, a Western.
Can it be a weatern if it’s not set in the old west?
Anyway try “Hell or High Water”. I think it’s the type of movie you are talking about.
Hell or Highwater
Carl Franklin’s **One False Move** is fantastic.
