How about this as an honorable mention? I know its more an action/race movie but crossing one of the largest deserts in the world on a horse sounds close enough imo.

Yep, Orca is basically a western. The unnamed stranger out for revenge after a gang killed his pregnant wife, swimming away towards the sunset at the end. Only the fact that they put an animal in the role is unusual, it could just as well have been Clint Eastwood. The Orca even spares the innocent Annie at the end,…

I love this list because you put Touching The Void in the top three. I can’t get anyone to watch it and no one I know has seen it but I still rewatch it every year or two and it still fucking destroys me every time. That last five minutes. Oh god.

dood. Good list. Don’t forget the one where Herzog goes to Antartica. that rocked too. “I loath the sun on my skin”!!
