Westerns have been reincarnated a bit here and there. The Mandalorian is a really good western for instance. Firefly as well, some years back. Westworld too. Some of the other Star Wars stuff is pretty western too, the non-main Disney movies.

Wouldn’t Pirates of the Caribbean count as a massive success as a swashbuckler revival? It’s a much bigger success than any recent western.

There's been a few other great ones as well that I can think of:

- No Country for Old Men

- Django Unchained

- True Grit

- Brokeback Mountain
