Leveraging an array of knockout performances and a killer soundtrack to produce a criminally underappreciated entry for the genre, Jeymes Samuel’s movie is notable for being one of the only Westerns where all the main cast members are Black.

Released on Netflix worldwide after a limited theatrical release, 2021’s The Power of the Dog still remains available on the world’s biggest streaming service. One of the most well-received genre entries of the 21st century, Jane Campion’s fantastic Western shockingly only took home 1 Oscar from 12 nominations, a state of affairs that is widely regarded as one of the more egregious oversights in the Academy’s history.
A gripping psychological drama set against a classic Western backdrop, The Power of the Dog still bears the prestigious distinction of having all four of the film’s lead actors nominated for Academy Awards, with Benedict Cumberbatch’s evocative bow as Phil Burband receiving particular praise. Simply put, this is an absolute quality movie, and it’s on Netflix right now.

A remake of the classic 1960 film of the same name, 2016’s The Magnificent Seven regrettably failed to achieve the lofty heights of its predecessor. Despite the promise posed by an all-star cast including Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, and Ethan Hawke, Antoine Fuqua’s answer to John Sturges’ original only received middling reviews from critics.
However, The Magnificent Seven’s high-octane action sequences, snappy dialogue, and one of the best quick-draw moments in Western history arguably make this an outing well worth revisiting as it approaches the ten-year anniversary of its release, even if it wasn’t streaming anywhere. Fortunately, that’s not the case; The Magnificent Seven is available to watch on Peacock.
