A terrific re-packaging of this fabulous movie. Picture and sound much improved. Impossible to improve the film itself. | 4.5 / 5.0

| 2. |  | High Noon
from Republic Pictures
Customer Review:
No self respecting collector of the western classic film genre should be without this cd. It ranks right up there with She wore a yellow Ribbon, The Searchers, Lonesome Dove, Bend in the River, Unforgiven, and Tombstone to name a few. Gary Cooper is at his best since his performance in Seargent... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from 20th Century Fox
Customer Review:
The Bottom Line:
A thoroughly enjoyable movie that gets the most of its stars and locations, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is just about as much fun as you'll find in 2 hours of a movie. | 4.5 / 5.0

| 4. |  | Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
from Paramount
Customer Review:
This is perhaps second only to The Searchers in the many great films John Ford directed. Again starring John Wayne as well as the always excellent James Stewart, Vera Miles and Lee Marvin. Essentially its a western which shows the beginning of the end for the old west.
If you watch this you... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I saw this movie for the first time more than a year ago. I've forgotten the storyline, the incidents, the details. But the sheer EXPERIENCE of watching the movie lingers in my heart. There are westerns that are grander (John Ford), more stylish (Sergio Leone), more sophisticated (Anthony Mann); but... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 6. |  | Rio Bravo
from Warner Home Video
Customer Review:
I wonder if all the 5-star reviewers saw a different film than the one I watched. This is easily Howard Hawks' weakest Western and probably one of his worst films overall. The underlying problem is that it's hard to tell if it is supposed to be a serious film or a spoof; it tries to play on both... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Mpi Home Video
Customer Review:
Thirty years after his death, John Wayne remains an enigma. Many books have been written about him, none of which I've read, and so I know little of his personal life other than he has been both praised for embodying traditional American ideals and reviled for his archconservative bigotry.
Yet... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 8. |  | The Alamo: Original Uncut Version
from MGM (Video & DVD)
Customer Review:
I love this film. It's entertaining as it can be but historically it is way off the mark. The lyrics of one of song goes as follows: "...let the legend grow and grow....'bout those thirteen days of glory at the siege of Alamo..." I think this demonstrates Wayne's philosophy..."let the LEGEND grow... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

This is Clint Eastwood at his imcomparable best. To me, it even outranks "Unforgiven." | 4.5 / 5.0

| 10. |  | Magnificent Seven
from MGM (Video & DVD)
Customer Review:
The Bottom Line:
A mediocre western that doesn't take enough time to develop characters and falls far short of the Japanese original (though it is mercifully shorter), The Magnificent Seven has little to recommend it aside from Eli Wallach's performance and Steve McQueen's iconic cool--if you... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
