Prime Video's 7 Must-See Westerns Before the Yellowstone Finale Arrives
The wait for the second part of the fifth season of "Yellowstone" has been excruciating, with behind-the-scenes drama and confusing cliffhangers making fans of the epic western drama almost give up hope of ever seeing John Dutton and his family again.
However, the hit Paramount + drama is sure to return at some point this year, and in the meantime, fans of the genre can enjoy 7 top-notch westerns available to stream on Prime Video that can certainly scratch that "Yellowstone " itch that many of us suffer from.
"Yellowstone" creator Taylor Sheridan is widely regarded as the true revolutionist of the Western genre, a person solely responsible for the renaissance of this iconic genre on television in the last five years, which prompted us to choose only the most original and contemporary-looking Westerns for this list.
After all, fans of "Yellowstone" will have a hard time following these '50s westerns, which look and feel quite alien to the Kevin Costner-led show, despite sharing the same genre.
Don't worry, the above-mentioned movies won't bore you for a second, as they all managed to refresh the tired antics of the Western genre in one way or another, keeping this incredibly important cinematic movement in American history relevant and endearing, while subtly influencing Sheridan in the creation of "Yellowstone".
Here are all the films mentioned: Once Upon a Time in the West (1968), 3:10 to Yuma (2007), The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007), True Grit (2010), Brimstone, The Dark Valley, Cry Macho.
