Western films have a long history, dating back to the early 1900s, and new movies in the genre are still produced on a regular basis. While they typically aren't as good as the classics, Westerns have evolved and now incorporate a touch of modernism. Just next month, Kevin Costner will return to the big screen with Horizon: An American Saga, as he attempts to recapture the feel of the golden age of Westerns.
If you're looking to watch these classic Western films, then Tubi is probably the most accessible streaming service in the world. Every month, Tubi offers a selection of movies from various genres, including Westerns. In May 2024, for example, several intriguing Western films were released, such as American Outlaws, Buck and the Preacher, and Silverado. With the upcoming month's roster officially announced, here is a list of every Western heading to Tubi in June 2024.
All The Pretty Horses (2000)
Streaming June 1
All The Pretty Horses is a decent film that, unfortunately, was a huge box office bomb when it was released in 2000. The film, starring Matt Damon, Penélope Cruz, and Henry Thomas, follows two young Texas ranchers who travel to Mexico in search of work in the 1940s. However, they find themselves in trouble instead when one of them falls in love with the daughter of a wealthy rancher. Can the young cowboys survive in a place where death is nearly unavoidable? All The Pretty Horses will premiere on Tubi on June 1.
Last Man Standing (1996)
Streaming June 1
Bruce Willis and the Western genre make a deadly combination, especially when it has loads of gunfire and killings to complement his passion for action. To be fair, Last Man Standing, which also stars William Sanderson, Christopher Walken, and Bruce Dern, isn't a typical Western, though it will fall under the genre once it lands on Tubi. The film follows John Smith, an amoral gunslinger starving for employment.
