Not sure I'd consider Logan a Western, but it certainly adopts a lot of Western tropes. Unforgiven was a clear influence on it.

I think people think of "western" as a period piece setting, when it's actually the formula structure that makes it one.

Generally agree. I tend to consider Die Hard a Western, sort of a remake of High Noon.

I know it's a TV show and not a movie but anyone with an interest in the genre must watch 1883.

Tampopo is considered to be a ramen western, despite the fact that it's a comedy set in 1980s Tokyo. Even though I love this movie, I can't pin point in words what makes it a "western". All I know is it has something to do with the Yakuza in the film.

I've been wanting to see Outland for years. What slowed me down was the fact that the movie was out of print at the time I became more aware of it. But now, I don't have any excuse.

All I know is it has something to do with the Yakuza in the film. It's a riff on the Man with No Name; the aimless wanderer that stumbles into a struggling town/ramen shop and decides to help the local townspeople/proprietor from whatever bad guys are threatening their way of life. I haven't seen it since college but that's what I recall.
