It's not just one of the Greatest Westerns...

It's not just one of the greatest John Wayne films... it's one of the greatest films of all times. Having inspired directors such as Speilberg and Lucas, 'The Searchers' mixed John Ford epic with Saturday afternoon serial western and achieved new heights.

The story moves along at a good pace, keeping you involved and in the dramatic adventure mix, while the characters stay crisp. As always, Ford's cinematic rendering of western landscapes is inspired and at times, breathtaking. If you have a chance to see it on the big screen... do so.

Otherwise buy it and prepare for an epic.
