It’s not exactly a cowboy movie, but The Last Picture Show lines up perfectly with the theme you’re going for here. In fact I believe Red River is the “picture show” referenced in the title.

You are correct. I just rewatched it and I love it. I have it filed under coming-of-age but it for sure plays into a certain way of life dying in a post-war country.
