Recommendations?

Hey so I need to write a Western story for my creative writing club and I wanted more inspiration. If I'm being honest most of my western knowledge comes from Read dead redemption and blood meridian. So anything that you think is essential for me to read or watch so I can get a better grasp on what to write amazing. I actually just picked up Dead man's walk and I hope it's good, but yeah any book, movie, show anything recommendations would be greatly appreciated👍👍
