Audie Murphy made a bunch of western movies, most of which had a very similar theme .... my favorite is the movie "Tumbleweed" which was made in 1953 ===> https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0046469/ .... it is one of those movies in which an animal, a horse named Tumbleweed (picture below) steals the show .... :D

I can watch the whole thing via Netflix right now if I want and haven't even been tempted to do so again.

Hey Tarantino has produced a few movies that are pretty good in the sense of being mainstream ('The Rock' would be a good example) but most of his movies are eclectic and offbeat and do not appeal to everyone.
I mean have you ever watched 'Django Unchained' ?
