Loved both the movies. I went through a western phase in my youth and enjoy western films. Really liked the Coen Brothers most recent, Ballad of Buster Scruggs, and even like the modernization of westerns like Hell or High Water.

I'll give News of the World a look when my to-read list thins a bit.
