4 Dead Man (1995)

The mystical and very atmospheric film by Jim Jarmusch starring Johnny Depp is thoroughly saturated with philosophy and reflections on life. It's a whimsical mix of melancholic parable, road movie and western.

5. Open space (2003)

6. Wild Wild West (1999)

The whimsical sci-fi western starring Will Smith, Kevin Kline and Salma Hayek was met with mixed reception. But still, an entertaining story about the secret services, missing scientists and colorful saloons is definitely worth your attention.

7. Unforgiven (1992)

In a small town, cowboys badly injure a woman, and the sheriff demands the horses be given in return as compensation. However, the victim does not receive anything, and the offended girls collect money to pay them to the one who kills the offenders. The Clint Eastwood Western has four Oscars out of nine nominations at once.

13. Django (1966)

The same classic that formed the basis of the work of Tarantino and many other westerns. One day, the cowboy Django (Franco Nero) rescues Maria, a mixed-breed slave. So she becomes his assistant in an effort to take revenge on all fanatical racists and, in particular, Major Jackson.
