I've tried all the greats. High Noon, The Searchers, Tombstone (I liked that one), a few Clint Eastwood ones. They are tolerable to decent, but don't ever grab me. I love the TV series Deadwood though, oddly. It's one of my favorites of all time. But the Western genre of film is Aquaman to me.

So why not go with Tombstone? Edit: Never mind, I failed to notice you already picked Django.

Though some would consider either more a musical than they would Back to the Future a romantic comedy :D
