I think the period films come out in year cycles. My opinion it started with Drums along the Mohawk, Jeremiah Johnson in the 70's, I even liked Mountain Men with Charleston H. Then we saw Last of the mohicans with DD Lewis, The patriot which got dumped on but I liked, Black Robe. Any more I missed? I think we are due for another.

The Revenant was a good movie. I found a copy at a local flea market on dvd for a $1. I had a friend who does not have cable, who watches cowboy movies on dvd. I bought it for him, gave it to him last year.
A year goes by and I see him again (he lives in another town). I asked about the flick and his response was he had never seen it.
Oh well.

The Duke cannot be duplicated or improved upon.
I tend to agree, think that's why I'm still on the fence.
Personally I didn’t care for revanant
The conspirator was excellent and the heart of the sea about the whale ship Essex that was the inspiration of Moby Dick was over the top good, though it wasn’t a finical success

Especially by a Marxist puppet, half-assed actor like Bridges.
You could put "Across the Wide Missouri" with Cark Gable on that list as well.
Happened to find a movie last week on Roku that had a good cast and decent storyline “the way west” with Douglass, Mitchum and Widmark (a young Sally Field too).
I'll try to do this chronologically.
Northwest passage
Hudson's bay
unconquered
The big sky
Jerimiah johnson
centennial
Black robe
last of the Mohicans
the patriot
These are the ones I liked, but they don't include sea-faring movies.

Man called Horse, and the return of man called horse
Northwest Passage (Spencer Tracy, Robert Young, Walter Brennan) is a fun watch, especially around this time of year.
Master and Commander is Superb.
I didn't really care for the Revenant, but that was just me.
My wife and I were camping near Roswell, NM in October. We tend to hit the thrift stores when we travel, she's looking for local arts and I look for cheap DVDs for rainy days. Picked up a copy of the 2010 version of True Grit. Odd thing is that the movie has non removable Spanish subtitles and an occasional watermark that pops up on the bottom of the screen saying Property of Paramount Studios. Movie was OK but I hope the Coen brothers got remaking John Wayne movies out of their system.
Now you are showing our age. I always remember the scene where one of the Rangers kept the Indian head in his knapsack to chew on.
I thought the re-make was more realistic, but you can't beat True Grit with the Duke
