Top 10 Westerns to watch before you dive into 'The Sisters Brothers'

It's easy to think Westerns are formulaic, but these 10 films will prove that as genre, nobody does it better than cowboys
PUBLISHED SEP 23, 2018

There is something extraordinarily intriguing about Westerns. As much as they are entertaining, they're also stylish, violent, raw, and unfettered by current norms. Jacques Audiard's new movie, The Sisters Brothers, starring Joaquin Phoenix, Jake Gyllenhaal and John C Reilly, is bringing back that old Western passion in the dark Western comedy that hit cinemas on September 21. 

But if you're new to the genre, then take a mosey down these 10 films, and you'll get an understanding of Westerns that will prove they're more than just tumbleweed, cheap whisky, six-shooters, and unwashed men on horses.
