One of the best westerns ever made in my opinion is True Grit. The story centers around a girl who seeks to bring the man who murdered her father to justice. When the local sheriff tells her that the man is out of their reach, she hires a aging U.S. Marshall to track the killer down.
This is the only film John Wayne won a oscar for and it was well deserved. The director Henry Hathaway doesn’t hit a single false note throughout the film. Music, cinematography and art design all top notch. A solid western that still holds up today.
It’s currently being remade by the Coen brothers starring Jeff Bridges as the Marshall.
