How this ranking was built
Compiled 2026-10-28. The full-text archive was published 2017-11-17 and modified 2022-08-18. Rotten Tomatoes posted it. Alex Vo is the byline. The page title is 100 Best Western Movies of All Time. The archive runs from No. 100 down to No. 1. This table runs from No. 1 to No. 100. The top 10 and the top 25 are the first 10 and first 25 rows.
On 2026-10-28 the live page left all 100 title blocks empty. That live page still says published 2017-11-17 and modified 2022-08-18. The capture that prints all 100 titles is 2025-12-31. This table follows that capture. Director names are the Directed By lines in the archive. The page keeps classical-period westerns, sorts them by Adjusted Tomatometer, and requires at least 20 reviews.
Chinese and Russian titles are Wikidata labels. Chinese labels are simplified.
2 films have no Chinese Wikidata label, so the Chinese cell keeps the English title: No. 41 Bisbee '17, No. 82 The Wind. 8 films keep the English title in the Russian cell.
