Letterboxd Users Say These Are the 10 Worst Westerns Ever Made
Westerns are supposed to be reliable. Dust, guns, horses, a moral code, maybe a squinty guy staring into the horizon.
Even the bad ones usually have something going for them—good landscapes, decent shootouts, a grizzled old man saying "this town ain't big enough" or whatever.
But then there are these. The Westerns so baffling, so poorly made, or just plain wrong that Letterboxd users couldn't even make it to the end. The kind of movies that take a genre built on grit and myth—and somehow make it feel like a middle school play with a $12 budget and no rehearsals.
And no, we're not talking about obscure stuff no one's seen. Some of these had real actors, real money, real studio backing. And still ended up looking like someone filmed them during a lunch break and edited them with a blindfold on.
These aren't fun-bad. They're not charmingly messy. These are the ones people regret. Letterboxd reviews filled with all-caps rage, one-star pity ratings, and long, emotional pleas for someone to give them their time back. Watching them feels like a punishment. Finishing them feels like community service.
So if you've ever wondered what the bottom of the Western barrel looks like—here it is. Ten disasters that somehow got made, somehow got released, and now live forever in Letterboxd hell.
