During the late 1960s, mainstream American movies became more radical, unpredictable, and exciting. More and more movies challenged the kinds of censorship that held back most mainstream movies released between 1934 and 1968 (the time of the Hays Code), and among the first American films to feel like something new was The Wild Bunch.

Seven years before he helped re-energize the superhero genre with 2002's Spider-Man, Sam Raimi directed this underrated and action-packed Western. The Quick and the Deadis stylish and over-the-top, as you'd expect from a Raimi-directed movie, and walks a fine line between being quite silly, but also having characters you can be invested in. It take...
Tombstone is far from the only Western to feature Wyatt Earpas a character and a depiction of the famed Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, but it might be the most action-heavy of the lot. The film features the famed shootout near its middle, but with a broader story about the town of Tombstone being invaded by bandits, it finds plenty more opportunities...
Though its title clearly references The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, The Good, The Bad, The Weirdis certainly a different kind of Western. The former has its moments of humor and action, but the latter pushes harder as both a comedy and an action movie, being a wild ride that's consistently over-the-top and exciting.

The legendary Steve McQueen appeared in many great action movies throughout the 1960s and '70s, with The Magnificent Seven arguably being the most famous of them all (besides 1963's The Great Escape, of course). Here, this film essentially takes the premise of Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, but it's now set in the Old West instead of Feudal Japan ...
Young Guns has a surprisingly huge cast of actors who were up-and-coming throughout the 1980s, some of whom are still well-known today. These include the likes of Emilio Estevez, Kiefer Sutherland, and Charlie Sheen, all playing young gunfighters who form a gang whose members want to avenge the death of someone close to them. Befitting its title an...
Takashi Miike is a Japanese filmmaker who's made over 100 movies, and most of them are pretty wild, violent, and probably definable as acquired tastes. Sukiyaki Western Djangois certainly one of them and has a chaotic plot involving numerous characters who all get mixed up in a bloody gang war in a small town.

Speaking of Tarantino, The Mercenary is one classic Spaghetti Western that proved influential to his own movies. It takes place during the Mexican Revolution of the early 1900s and centers around a group of freedom fighters, revolutionaries, and bandits, all of whom get involved in liberating villages and amassing great fortunes that can come with ...
One of the earliest Western movies of all time also happens to be an action movie (it's action-packed by 1903 standards, at least). It's fascinating to watch The Great Train Robbery nowadays, as this short film is now 120 years old, yet still has the basic ingredients found in many later Westernsthat also function as crime and action movies. At jus...
The Professionalsis a unique Western, as it's a little grittier than many of the classic, old-fashioned Westerns of the 1940s and '50s; it's not as dark or downbeat as the revisionist Westerns of the 1970s. It occupies something of a middle ground as far as the genre is concerned but still contains plenty of entertainment value. The plot revolves a...
