In an effort to get away from a certain space epic, how about telling
us what your favorite western is and why.

My favorite:     The Searchers   directed by John Ford

This film came out over 20 years ago and stars John Wayne, Natalie Wood,
Vera Miles, Harry Carey Sr. and Jr. plus many other legendary western
film stars. The cinematography is breathtaking, the production values
are first rate, and the plot and character development are fantastic!
This film deals with the lives of a group of people after a band of
renegade Indians attack a home, kill John Wayne's brother's family
and carry off his young niece. The rest of the film deals with the
search for the niece and the interaction between Wayne's character
and others during his quest. This film has one of the most visually 
stunning endings of any film I've ever seen. Unfortunately, I've only seen
it in atheatre once, when I was 13 yrs old. It does manage to make
the tube evry so often. Check it out.
