Reading the Elmore Leonard story, and then watching the '57 movie and the '07 movie. Because #quarantinelife.
Holy shit what a good story. It's not just a Western, it's an exploration of good, evil, and their motivations. Hell even the '07 movie gets it right. It's a lot like a Dostoevsky yarn: major characters act as an animus for an idea, and the writer/directors/actors/whatever bounce off each other so you can see how it all shakes out.
Stevenson's "Markheim" does a really good job getting in deep with 2 perspectives on good and evil. This story's a whole spectrum. Just awesome. And both movie adaptations do a great job in their own way of trying to figure out what the short story was trying to figure out.

He was awesome in the most recent one. He and the other major parts seemed to really get the point of the script they were given.
