In celebration of the release of Cowboys & Aliens on DVD and Blu-Ray from December 8, let's look back at the best the sci-fi western genre has to offer.

Admittedly, it's slim-pickings. But for what there is there's a few forgotten gems, so join us as we look back at the best the genre has to offer.

Priest

This sleek and stylish action/horror blends great Western settings with interesting characters and some truly awesome action scenes.

Westworld

Westworld combines solid entertainment, chilling topicality, and superbly intelligent serio-comic story values.

Tremors 4

This underrated straight-to-video gem is surprisingly better than its predecessors, bringing with it plenty of gore, cheesy humour and memorable action.

The Valley of Gwangi

Cowboys and...dinosaurs? This old-school genre mash-up, somehow, makes watching cowboys lasso big lizards an enticing treat.

Back to the Future: Part III

This refreshing ending in the wonderful Back to the Future trilogy brings with it some of the series' most memorable moments, as Doc and Marty travel back in time to the Wild West in an adventure centuries in the making!

Timerider: The Adventure of Lyle Swann

This cheesy but oh-so-good sci-fi western brings an average Joe to the Wild West via the wonders of -- you guessed it -- time travel!

Cowboys & Aliens

Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig make for a dependable on-screen duo in this sci-fi epic. It's big, it's silly, and it's downright preposterous!

Priest!? As in one of the year's worst movies? Wow.

Westworld is far and away the best sci-fi western I've seen. It's just an outstanding movie.

I guess so, a lot of these I wouldn't put into the "best" category

I don't think any of them would.
The Sci-Fi western genre is owned by Cowboy Bebop and Firefly.
Both TV shows with movies made, yet none were mentioned here.
What gives?
