You touched on two of my three favorite westerns: Hell or High Water ( the restaurant scene is 5 thumbs up), True Grit (also Jeff Bridges), and No Country for Old Men. I love the dialogue in all three, but especially True Grit. And No Country is close enough to Cormac McCarthy’s book that it’s great.
Yeah I love all three of them. True Grit is one of the few remakes I enjoy more than the original. I honestly think writing original westerns is becoming something of a lost art, which is why we get so many remakes and adaptations.

The Coen Brothers have a gift for getting the dialogue perfect. In True Grit, the cadence, the formality, and the accents are wonderful.
I really liked « Dead don’t hurt, » a western that used subtitles.
Haven't had a chance to see it yet but it looked good and I like Vigo.
Viggo and Krieps are an amazing couple. Both are immigrants in a western. A novel take.
