The popularity of the Western genre has endured for decades, with some of the greatest films in the genre having literary roots. Authors like Lauran Paine and Ron Hansen have successfully captured the gritty landscape and character types of the Western genre in their writing and directors have elevated their work with the use of their film knowledge. The Old West provides an ideal setting for themes of conflict and individualism.

When reflecting on his career and relationship with the Old West, Hansen spoke positively of the detail and thoroughness in Dominik's script, saying"Andrew Dominik’s gorgeous script was completely faithful to the novel." . Considering his knowledge of the time in history, Hansen was a crucial figure to have on set. While on set, Hansen provided input about the film's accuracy and even had a cameo in the film as a news reporter.

Open Range isn't as action-packed as other Western films, but there is a notable gunfight that has been consistently pointed out by critics as one of the best in the genre. Though gunfights are nothing new in Western films, the skillfully crafted scene stands out. Costner sought to avoid as much slow motion during the sequence to achieve a realistic appearance and made a point to have the people in the town evacuate the area, as most Westerns show the town gathering around to see the action.

Because of its comedic elements, Little Big Man works extremely well as a film. Little Big Man is considered a revisionist Western film but includes elements from various genres, such as comedy and adventure. Dustin Hoffman leads the film as an aged-up Jack Crabb and is supported by actors like Chief Dan George and Faye Dunaway. For its ability to seamlessly fuse comedic elements into its overall sympathetic message, Little Big Man has continued to earn widespread acclaim over the years.

The revisionist Western film is based on The Rebel Outlaw: Josey Wales by Asa Earl Carter, who went by the name Forrest Carter at the time of its release. Though there is much controversy surrounding Carter's career and false identity, the story within The Outlaw Josey Wales continues to be praised. Factors that play into such praise include Eastwood's strong performance as the anti-hero and The Outlaw Josey Wales' themes about the effects of war, particularly the Civil War.
