This genre was all but dead until "Open Range" in 2003 revived interest, and sparked "3:10 to Yuma" and that 2007 year of Westerns and Neo-Westerns.
Kevin Costner single handed kept the genre alive. Clint Eastwood abandoned the genre in 1992 with "Unforgiven" that was his swan song as a cowboy. In fact, Clint Eastwood almost KILLED the genre. The mainstream thought of "Unforgiven" as the end of the genre, the end of the American Western.
Thank God for Kevin Costner.
