Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Yellow Sky (1948)

A group of bank robbers flee across salt flats to escape their pursuers. When they finally reach a town, it turns out to be abandoned... except for a tough but pretty young woman and her grandfather. When the men realize that the two are hiding something, they decide to find and take it.

Except for the rapey/misogynistic sections (and there are quite a few), this is a pretty good little western. The "us vs. them" turns into an "us vs. us" naturally and satisfactorily.
