Always loved No Country for Old Men.Saw Eddington and loved it.Now I'm thinking I need more westerns in a contemporary setting, loaded with deeper themes and meanings. The bleak, fatalistic tone, the awesome vistas, violent shoot-outs, and the reimagining of the classic western tropes recontextualized in the modern day utterly tickles me. Anything else out there like this?I really loved Dragged Across Concrete too, but I don't think it counts. Bone Tomahawk was excellent too, but I'm not looking for period settings; I really want them to be set in the modern day with some black humor thrown in.
shutup loser
>>215993164Society can be so cruel :[
>>215993079try hell or high water, one of taylor sheridan's best.
>>215993479>hell or high waterchecked the synopsis.seems promising. Got any more?
>>215993079Woodey harrelson characterDoes nothing, diesWhat was the point?
The Rider (2017)Nuestro Tiempo (2018) They are very, very arthouse
El Infierno (2010) western about mexican cartels
>>215993531To illustrate the threat of Anton, idiot.check out The Devil's Rejects. it's like a modern-day Peckingpa movie.
800 Balas (2002), metawestern about the spanish town they used for countless spaghetti westerns
>>215993531The point is it's no country for old men
The Mexico Trilogy by Robert Rodriguez, which includes Desperado (1995). Neo western
>>215993672forgot about those.guess it's time to finally see them
>>215993079The Way of the Gun (2000)Definitely one of the best neo-westerns out there
The rover with Guy Pearce
>>215993164what the FUCK was his problem?
>>215993749this one looks awesome
>>215993735Accurate tactics and gun handling
>>215993531Thats what psychopats do, you do nothing, psychopaths will try to kill you even for that
would a thriller or action movie from the 80s be a western in contemporary setting?
>>215993079it's technically capeshit but Logan is like this
Logan (2017) is capeshit neowestern. It even has Shane (1953) playing on TV in a scene
the three burials of melquiades estrada
>>215993079I'll give you the plot anon, guys is up for revenge ,is kinda a small town, corruption is running deep, single father lost her daughter, it was sweep under the rought by authorities, killer: the major son, guy prepare himself all this yeara for bringing then down, he discover a eipstein net of girls by the powerful, time to kill people in power
>contemporary westerntry Wind River
>>215994030yes
The Last Stop in Yuma County (2023) is not only neo western, but a thriller too
I liked Let Him Go (2020) with Kevin Costner and Diane Lane
>>215993079Westworld (2016)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuS5huqOND4
>>215994185even better
>>215994089literally described nothing about the films i referenced
>>215993479I'll watch pretty much anything with Ben Forester but I couldn't get through Medieval. Not because of him but though. Taylor Sheridan seems to like using the same actors I wonder why he didn't use them again?
>>215994229>>215994185Red Rock West (1993) is not only a thriller, but also a neo-noir on top of neo western. Same as Lone Star (1996), However, some people call Red Rock West "post-Western"
>>215993079the word you are looking for for your chatgpt prompt is "neowestern"
Near Dark (1987) and John Carpenter's Vampires are both horror neo western
>>215994275Did you get through HBO's Six Feet Under? Ben plays a bisexual twink in that
>>215993672I rewatched outim the other day and as far as I'm concerned it still holds up.
>>215994493maybe it is, but i have seen several period setting westerns lumped in that sub genre, and im looking specifically for westerns set in the modern era.
>>215994589I have not watched that and now I will be sure to avoid it.
A History of Violence
There's one about a heist taking place during a flood in a small rural town and the Sheriff is leading the heist.
>>215994258It's always best to ignore namefags.
>>215994714Hard Raini remember seeing it in a theater and loved it
>>215994714Hard Rain? I can't remember if the sheriff was a bad guy but there was some sort of twist so maybe.
>>215994751>>215994756Yes, that's the one.Good movie.Impressed how the promotional material does not feature the team doing the robbing.
>>215994756Sheriff switched to bad and morgan freeman the robber turned out to ally with the good guy
>>215994258>replying to a namefag
>>215994842>Christian SlaterSo close...
>>215994679Very good very good.
>>215993479Came here to post this. Pretty much exactly what you're looking for, OP.
>>215993079“In the hood” movies always struck me as modern day westerners.
>>215993079All three Punisher films, but mostly the 2004 one. Westerns was the main inspiration for it.
>>215993079Sicario
>>215994632eddington is a period piece, as is no country
>>215993479It's a good movie but I could not sympathies with a dude who just murders , robs banks and is a shit head. I mean interesting writing yes but not captivating. Like writing "rape man hero" and expecting me to get behind him.
>>215994842This. Its basically a modern day stagecoach robbery in the middle of a massive rainstorm. Absolute kino
>>215996008literally me
>>215995908by "period" i mean they are not set within our lifetimes.most people alive today were around during the events of both films
>>215996008>Like writing "rape man hero" and expecting me to get behind himWell there was this one guy...
>>215996008>Like writing "rape man hero"say that again....
>>215993479This is what I came in to share
>>215993079Hell or High Water being the best and Wind River being the worstbut these are the only good Sheridan movies about modern westerns
>>215996008found the (((banker)))
>>215993479This movie is fucking great
Last Stop at Yuma County is solid and I never hear it mentioned.
>>215993079cop land is basically a western set in 90s new jersey
>>215993079>Eddington>checks trailer>Pedro Pascalgross
>>215995727Back in the 90s there was a western with all black cast. Some gangsta rap actors
bone tomahawk was incredible film
>>215996256okay keep defining words however you like but don't expect people to know what you're talking about. might be more efficient to communicate in long form instead of redefining words randomly
>>215995908>>215996256What the fuck are you trying to say? Take ten steps back, send your thesis in to grok, wait a week, and post this again.
>>215994118terrible.
>>215996130They used to play it on daytime television. You could flip channels from your morning cartoons and wind up watching this.
>>215997953thanks roger ebert. but who asked
>>215993079three burials of melquiades estrada
>>215998187also bring me the head of alfredo garcia, obviously
>>215997953you can tell because it's tailor sheridian
>>215993717Salma Hayek's big tits and delicious culo are to be seen.
>>215993479mid
>>215997929good morning sir
>>215994118penis status?
>>215998451Shut the fuck up retard.
>>215998791you don't have any idea what you're talking about, do you?
>>215998891I do. How short is your lifetime if Eddington is not set within it? Covid wasn't that long ago. You have to be 18 to post here. You are like three years old you shouldn't be on the computer.
>>215999013you need to go back and read the posts you replied to, have a big think, and then never post on 4chan again because you're too fucking stupid to actually read and comprehend what you reply to
Got some good recommendations.Definitely checking out Hell or High Water and the Sicaro movies.Bring me the Head of Alfredo Garcia looks hot too. Will check it out.The Rover looks good.Last Stop at Yuma County is on the list.
>>215993079What is Eddington about exactly? From what I hear it’s just a political drama about a small town during COVID, on the other hand your calling it a “Western” and now you have me intrigued, I love a good neo western.
>>215993079have you seen Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada? It has the same nihilistic feel of No Country for Old Men plus it takes place in west Texas.
>>215993079You want a film more miserable than eddington?
>>215994162this one is great and features a killer cast
>>215993079if you've already seen dragged across concrete and bone tomahawk you might as well watch brawl in cellblock 99, it's not a western but same director. also for a more genre specific recommendation I'd say Hell or High Water if you haven't seen that yet.
Hated it. Prime example of a movie looking "flat". Looked like a Netflix Movie oft he Week.
>>215993735Oh shit I'm minutes away from this torrent being finished. Boutta go make some bell peppers and beef to enjoy it to.
>>215993531movie didn't quite manage to get him right, in the book he's set up to be some tough badass special ops vietnam vet who should sure be a match for Anton Sugar only to get unceremoniously ambushed by him like a rookie showing what a force of nature Anton actually is. In the movie he was just le funny quirk man who didn't look behind him on the stairs once.
>>215999997>What is Eddington about exactly?>>215999997All that's western is that it's set in New Mexico and the backgrounds look like Breaking Bad.It's basically your average edgy A24 slop.>set during Covid craze>anti-mask Sherriff runs against lefty cuck mayor in the upcomming election>mayor plans on letting "Not Palantir" construct a data center in the future>Sherriff is opposed just to spite mayor>Sherriff gets cucked by cult leader and shoots a homeless man and the mayor and his son dead in a fit of rage>tries to cover it up and put the blame on other cops>meanwhile "Not Palantir" has sent a mercenary team to eliminate him>mercs kill a bunch of people while trying to shoot Sherriff down on the street>Sherriff ends up with knife in his head but is saved in the last moment>ffw. 1 year and Sherriff is now new mayor, a vegetable and has to spend his days letting other people talk for him and seeing his wife be pregnant from cult leader on tv>the End
