FAQ
The Full Western List: Questions & Answers
How the 270 ranked western films on this list are ordered, why the other 2,968 are not ranked and how to narrow the list down.
How is the full list of western movies ranked?
Best first. Ranked by Echo Score; 207 of these 270 films have none (released before 2017, when Echo Scores start) and are ranked by a blend of their Metascore and IMDb/Letterboxd user ratings. The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) is #1, ahead of Ride the High Country (1962). A film is ranked when it runs at least an hour and has a score, box office, an award nomination or enough votes.
The western ranking Why are only 270 of the 3,238 western films ranked?
A film is ranked when it runs at least an hour and has a score, box office, an award nomination or enough votes; shorts, films with too few ratings and re-release records stay off the ranking, which leaves 2,968 western films unranked. They are still on the site: sort the list by newest, oldest or title A–Z to reach them.
How do I filter western movies by decade or language?
Use the filters above the list: a decade or year, an original language, or only films with a plot summary, the ending explained or an after-credits scene; the sort switches between rating, release date, box office, budget and title. The 2010s have the most ranked western films (73), then the 1970s (39). Outside English, Italian (315 films) and Spanish (142 films) have the most western films.
