I’ve loved the music for Westerns my entire life, but I haven’t watched a ton. So, I’m systematically going through and streaming all of the ones I can find whose music I love so much. Any recommendations for what I should add to my list?

Obviously the Dollars trilogy. Once Upon a Time in the West is great too.

The Big Country has a great score. It’s a lengthy film but worth the watch.

Oh, I should probably mention that I’ve started with The Magnificent Seven, High Noon, and Big Country

Also check out Cowboys (1972). The score was composed by the one and only John Williams!

Outlaw Jose Wales, True Grit, Unforgiven, the Searchers, 3:10 to Yuma (I prefer the 50s one), the Django movies, Bone Tomahawk, Dances with Wolves, Tombstone, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Stagecoach, Pale Rider, Quick and the Dead, Sierra Madre, Silverado, Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Dead Man, and Ballad of Buster Scruggs are all good picks not yet mentioned.

Different from most Westerns but A Bullet for the General (1967). Soundtrack was a huge part of what made it work so well

Do Not Forsake Me (o My Darlin) from High Noon, The Magnificent Seven theme, Big Country (the theme to Big Country), Blazing Saddle, How the West Was Won, and the main theme from Giant are all iconic songs from Western movies

I’m doing it based on which one has the best music 😅, which is why I’d also have already watched Blazing Saddles if it was available on a subscription service, but it’s rent/buy only 😭

Which is also why The Alamo is near the end of my list (b/c The Green Leaves of Summer sucks as a song), and The Hallelujah Trail is near the top of the list I haven’t gotten around to
