Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The most famous Western movies may not have originated from the 1950s, but the decade was actually something of a Golden Age for the genre, with some of the most triumphant films set in the American West filmed and released within the time period.

9 Winchester '73 A gripping anthology that began some notable careers A groundbreaking film, Winchester '73 chronicled the stories of the owners of the titular rifle as it passed hands over the years. Winchester '73 set the precedent for future films who would go on to try a similar novelty, such as Sandra Oh's best critically-received film, The Red Violin. In the background lurked a fairly-typical, if well-realized manhunt for a dangerous fugitive.

7 Johnny Guitar Didn't shy away from bold female gunslingers Though many of those tuned in to the pop-culture zeitgeist may better recognize Johnny Guitar for the title track written for the film, used in the soon-to-be adapted Fallout series, the 1954 Western was actually based on a book of the same name.

5 High Noon A tense drama that plays out in real-time High Noon holds the unique position of being not only one of the first, but one of the best movies to take place in real-time. The film revolves around the difficult quandary presented to hero Marshal Will Kane, played by Gary Cooper. A vengeance-seeking criminal locked up by Kane years ago is hot on his trail, and Kane had to choose between staying in town to face his assailant head-on or fleeing with his wife in tow.
