The 1970s were the decade that broke the Western open. The heroes got rougher, the endings got darker, the violence got more honest, and the genre stopped pretending the frontier was clean. While some people only remember a handful of famous titles, the truth is the ’70s are packed with Westerns that still hit hard — if you know where to look.

In this video, we’re counting down “15 Westerns from the 1970s That Are Actually Worth Watching” — no filler, no “only if you’re a completist.” Expect grimy revenge tales, hard-edged gunfighters, frontier justice, outlaw survival stories, and revisionist Westerns that feel modern because they refuse to romanticize anything.

Some are underrated gems. Some are cult favorites. Some are classics that deserve to be rewatched with fresh eyes. Either way, all 15 prove the ’70s Western wasn’t dead — it was evolving into something meaner and better.
