EVERY Kevin Costner Western Ranked From Worst To Best [2024]

[@CROengineer]

love all of them, postman has a special place in my heart

[@thenarrator1984]

Postman isn't a western but it's brilliant

[@masterp2269]

Amazing movie!

[@jeremey1423]

Silverado is my absolute favorite western. It's not a deconstructed western or dark western or any of that other pretentious crap. If you have not seen it, I highly recommend it.

[@Peterhenders]

Best part is when Scott Glenn's character is told , they took the boy! You know all HELL is about to happen!

[@matthalpin1981]

I would probably place them in the same order except Open Range is better than Yellowstone in my humble opinion. It's not only a brilliant western, it's a brilliant movie. Fantastic story and fantastic characters with engaging dialogue that is often missing from this genre. I loved every minute of it.

[@tylertapp131]

I'd definitely have to agree with that pard. Open range is still in my top 5 favorite westerns.

[@charylliss3741]

I love The Postman it's one of my favorite movies ❤

[@paulgodbey304]

I have only seen Silverado and Dances with Wolves out of this group of films. Both of those films were very good. For me, Silverado was more enjoyable and is one of my personal favorites in the Western genre.

[@billbayes3261]

I really wish you wouldn't reverse the negative so that everybody that shoots right-handed is now shooting left-handed. Having seen many of these movies all I could do was shake my head.

[@daveclark8337]

Clint Eastwood for me.

[@TheABElia]

Yellowstone over Open Range?!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@gobucs3146]

I was like Yellowstone at 2? No. And then 1 came, and I was like “ohh yea”.

[@jedimattie]

Yellowstone over Open Range????? NEVER!!!!

[@brandonryder5873]

I couldn't get through Wyatt Earp due to one scene feeling realistic and another feeling cheesy, and Michael Madson played himself as he always does.

[@bamadave83]

Couldn’t get through the first season of Yellowstone. So underwhelming

[@mr.w9222]

Open Range’s big gun battle is an all timer

[@PartizanRus]

I agree. Also check "Old Henry" movie, new one is good too.

[@jeffchan4557]

Except for his 6+ gun shooter. Can't stand that

[@JohnVanDenHeuvel-s4z]

Open Range

[@victoriaburkhardt9974]

Last night I saw Horizon: Chapter 1 last night. It is magnificent. Go see it this weekend!

[@Peterhenders]

Saw it twice already, beautiful movie!

[@matthalpin1981]

I loved it, too. It took me back to when I first saw 'How the West Was Won' but I enjoyed 'Horizon' much more. Such an epic story and I cannot wait to see how it unfolds.

[@Pauljmac25]

I too have seen Horizon twice. Absolutely superb. Will most likely see it again.

[@ronrobertson59]

I was disappointed in Horizon but the cinematography is excellent. Open Range is his best.

[@independenceltd.]

1. Dances with Wolves 2. Silverado 3. Open Range

[@gregpolutanovich1774]

Dances With Wolves,,Wyatt Earp,,Open Range,,Hatfields and McCoys,,Yellowstone...When Horizon is done,,that will be on top!

[@captainjack8319]

Open Range-it is superb.

[@dockennedy8091]

I like Dances With Wolves but the Director's Cut is so much better than the original theatrical version. Nearly an hour longer and tells the full story. How it should've been.

[@johnnyv.5142]

Final consensus......the man has an amazing body of work in the western genre!

[@lawrencelou3545]

Silverado.. the last great western that stuck to the traditional western genre formula .. even if he didn't had a main starring role..

[@Monkey-fv2km]

I always loved Silverado from when i was a kid, i bought it recently as a middle aged man and its still great fun.

[@jeremiahthomas8140]

My two favorites would have to be Wyatt Earp and Silverado. Although I do not consider Silverado a Kevin Costner movie.

[@farmgirlrebel1333]

I loved this movie. It's a long, epic set up, but wow, what a set up. If the second movie is as good as the first and wraps some things up...I'll probably rank this close to Dances, dare I even suggest, it may even pass it, if the second film really delivers the goods? We'll see and I'm gonna have a helluva lot of fun finding out.

[@chrishampton8842]

Open Range for me

[@debbeborders5762]

Kevin Costner is an all time favorite. Loved Dances with Wolves. Not sure I can pick my favorite western performance.

[@corytheobald2166]

It seems like you forgot to mention/include Highway Men - the recent Netflix film he starred in with Woody Harrelson. That is a great western! Probably one of his best. But otherwise, you did a great job compiling this list.

[@jannaghaleiw5504]

I love all of them, just watching Kevin Costner's acting is a very pleasant experience ❤👍👋💐🌺⚘️💯😍

[@JustWesterns]

So what do you think is the best Kevin Costner western?

[@TheABElia]

Open Range

[@masterp2269]

Hard to beat Open Range. They're all great IMO

[@TheWildcatk23]

Wyatt Earp or Silverado.

[@themaxster7798]

Open Range

[@smujer1]

Wyatt Earp, Open Range, Silverado and Yellowstone

[@porcine83]

Open Range is #1 by far, IMO. I liked Wyatt Earp, although it was an earnest biopic type movie with none of the style of Tombstone. Dances with Wolves is well made, but not my favorite. Yellowstone is just a soap opera set in the West. I've never seen Postman or Let him go. Hatfields & McCoys was very good, but not sure it's a "Western."

[@glenwallace6314]

Open range deserved much more love when it came out. I rate it #2 after Dances with wolves, and darn close to #1. Dances with Wolves didn't have Robert Duval.

[@theknave4415]

Hatfields and McCoys had a great cast. Even with the low budget, it was often difficult to take your eyes off the screen.

[@tflyer90]

The Postman has never deserved the hate it gets.

[@awriter4theman]

Yes and the film score is superb.

[@porkins74]

Wyatt Earp is a masterpiece. Tombstone = Carnival Cruise Line and Wyatt Earp = Viking Cruise Line.

[@richieh80]

Spot on with Dances with Wolves at number one. One of my favourite films of all time.

[@TheWildcatk23]

Wyatt Earp is one of the greatest movies ever. Any slander will not be tolerated.

[@awriter4theman]

I loved the Postman. Went to see it instead of Titanic. Excellent movie. All Kevin movies are very good.

[@andrewelder2739]

Perfect list! But would you not consider "The Highwaymen" a Neo-Western? I loved the flick! I wondered where you'd have ranked it. If "Let Him Go" made the list, this one should have too imo :)

[@droidx1191]

Anyone want to suggest a ranking for "Horizon" among this list?

[@gingernightmare9152]

I would change Silverado and Hatfield and McCoys position, then put Horizon in between those two. But I do reserve judgement until after part 2 comes out. Where do you put it?

[@cecileblouin7151]

I myself did not care for Yellowstone I found it to be a nighttime soap opera

[@jossnatersebaars9406]

Looking forward to see Horizon! Yellowstone would be on the bottom of my list, nr 3 Wyatt Earp, nr 2 Open Range ( great acting of two outstanding actors) and nr 1 Dances with Wolves!! That film made me go to the Black Hills and the Mid West and fall in love with it.

[@MrJayehawk]

Unpopular opinion, but I have always liked Costner's "Wyatt Earp" far more than "Tombstone".

[@awriter4theman]

Me too

[@victoriaburkhardt9974]

The Postman is my favorite post-apocalyptic movie. I’ve watched it 3 times and am due for the 4th.

[@charliem9831]

I really enjoyed the Post Man

Costner Western Ranked

[@themaxster7798]

The Postman is clearly Sci-Fi, not Western. 🤨 Despite that misplacement in your list, Open Range is Costner's best Western.

[@CyberpunkTechnoir]

It's a post-apocalyptic neo-Western

[@grunkalunka3449]

Totally agree. Open Range is the best western ever made.

[@themaxster7798]

@@grunkalunka3449 it ranks in my personal top 3. 1. Shane 2. Sons of Katie Elder 3. Open Range

[@themaxster7798]

@@CyberpunkTechnoir I respectfully disagree.

[@grunkalunka3449]

@@themaxster7798 I love the movie Shane. Which is probably why I love Open Range. Both tell a story of standing up to bullies. "Youre men arent ya?" - great line. I remember watching Sons of Katie Elder with my dad back in the 70's. Cant remember the story very well, i was just a youngster.

[@JTCulverhouse]

As you mention in your video, there are a couple of titles there I haven't had the pleasure to watch. Will have to give Let Him Go and Hafields & McCoys a watch. Good watch - thanks!

[@vintagevinylvets1187]

Although we haven’t seen Horizon yet,”Open Range,” is our favorite so far.🙏🏻🍿🥤

[@SeanCuebas-zl5my]

Let Him Go is stupid. Learn how to tell your wife no before she gets you maimed and killed to get her way. She wasn’t even crying at the end.

[@Leangareh]

Postman is so underrated. Really good movie. Wyatt Earp is also pretty great. Both Tombstone and Wyatt Earp have strengths and weaknesses. Best Wyatt Earp Account is the novel by Matt Braun though.

[@law13ie29]

Of the ones you listed my order 1 being favourite :7 The Postman :6 Dances With Wolves :5 Wyatt Earp :4 Hatfields & McCoys :3 Let Him Go :2 Yellowstone :1 Open Range

[@EddieHenderson92]

The Postman is a little bloated and could've shaved off 45 minutes or so. Wyatt Earp has some of the same problems and had the bad luck of coming out like 6 months after Tombstone, but The Postman and Wyatt Earp are still very solid movies. Open Range is my favorite Costner movie in general.

[@sirineomrani9546]

Les films westerns vont beaucoup avec un acteur comme kevin costner❤ ayellowstone cet homme etait merveilleux❤jai beauoup aime ce role de kiven costner❤ cest un acteur inoubliable❤ zohra zohra

[@scott336]

Great video. I wasn't aware of Let Him Go, as embarrassed as I am to admit it. I will pick up a copy. Thanks for putting this together!

[@randyshaw3534]

Horizon. Worst movie I've seen in decades. Don't waste money on this stinking film😊

[@edw3054]

I will never understand folks fascination with dances with wolves. It's the citizen Kane of westerns

[@hellhound1389]

I like westerns but I would have to place OPEN RANGE as first. While I thought DANCES WITH WOLVES was good it wasn't great. I get bored and walk away halfway through. The same with YELLOWSTONE. I've tried getting into it, even after binge watching the first 3 seasons I said I had enough and threw in the towel. I loved SILVERADO and WYATT EARP they still pale in comparison to OPEN RANGE

[@forrestgumpv9049]

Terrible Mustache and Hat and clean shaven looks weird. Very predictable and poorly directed.

[@ggtjr4]

Let Him Go is terrible. Costner’s character who is supposed to be a retired Montana law enforcement officer in the early 1960s behaves in no way that is realistic. I blame the director for not understanding the setting or characters and makes the entire thing unbelievable. Worst of the list by far.

[@Expat47]

"Horizon" needs to be picked up from the cutting room floor and glued back together. there's a whole missing hour that needs to be put back in; then it will be a great start to an epic story.

[@Fred_L.]

I always liked The Postman. But then of course I am a sucker for the setting.

[@TheRingoKid]

John Wayne is the GOAT this guy is a wannabe!!!

[@itnaklipse1669]

only similarity is that they both made westerns.. apples and oranges. i like them both.

[@TheRingoKid]

@@itnaklipse1669 John Wayne owned real working ranches this guy is a joke

[@vacayooper4728]

Costner is a far better actor. Go ahead.

[@TheRingoKid]

@@vacayooper4728 And by the way Costner never won a academy award for best actor Duke won one and John Ford destroys Costner at Director

Dances with wolves is the most overrated movie ever it's too long it's boring it's slow and dull
