For my money the greatest western of all time.

I agree. It was perhaps John Wayne's best film. It really showed that he could act. The only knock I have is the placement of the obligatory "Fordian" humour (Ken Curtis with his "Festus" accent courting Vera Miles) in the middle of the film. It detracts from the main theme of the film -- revenge. Beware of Monty (I hate Ford) the Bapster.

The Searchers is a dated, badly acted, racist piece of crap with the talentless darft dodging racist McCarthyite Wayne playing himself.

UPDATED Fri Aug 8 2008 10:04:20 Which film are you talking about, Eduardo? Oh yes, the one that the American Film Institute recently selected as the #1 Western, as well as the #12 greatest movie of all. I guess the AFI didn't get your memo in time. "Take 'em to Missouri"

Unforgiven, McCabe and Mrs Miller, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, High Noon and Little Big Man are all a hundred times better.

OK, so you say. Many many others think otherwise -- though they do not have the need to keep repeating it. "Take 'em to Missouri"

John Wayne was a talentless racist, John Ford was a racist, and The Searchers is racist. Unforgiven and High Noon are the best westerns.

Tell us Eduardo, is racism worse than anti-Semitism? I'd consider both to be reprehensible. I guess that makes you a reprehensible person who lacks the credentials to criticize others. "Take 'em to Missouri"

But insulting Jewish people, as you have often done on these boards, certainly is. But what can we expect from a nutcase who advocates Iran be given nuclear weapons in order to wipe out Israel. "Take 'em to Missouri"

It took me a few watches to really get into. I watched it in my Film Analysis class last year at school and it got a lot of unintended laughs. It inevitably has a lot of dated elements - the comic relief is atrocious (the scenes with &quot;Look&quot; are probably the worst), and the film is pretty close to being racist and sexist by even the kindest standards. And there are many melodramatic moments and overwrought bits that...

Verily I say unto thee...I watched HONDO this morning, a far better movie but why an 80 minute movie needed an intermission is far beyond me.

UPDATED Sat Aug 9 2008 08:15:44 That intermission for HONDO allowed the audience to adjust their eyes and clean their cardboard 3-D glasses. Good call on the fine HONDO, though. Ex-con turned actor (and later screenwriter) Leo Gordon was a worthy match for the Duke, and it's too bad they never got to duke it out beyond one barroom punch -- Leo was one scary dude. Director Don Siegel, on the set of RIOT IN CELL BLOCK 11 (filmed at San...

UPDATED Sat Aug 9 2008 11:09:08 Mr. Boot, speaking of the journey of Leo Gordon from convict to performer -- another actor who returned to San Quentin under better conditions was Paul Kelly. After serving time for manslaughter in the late 1920s, he got the title role in DUFFY OF SAN QUENTIN in the early 50s. The warden's office must have seemed like a major improvement over a cell. &quot;Howdy, Bub&quot;

UPDATED Fri Aug 8 2008 13:24:49 I like The Searchers , but I don't see it as the masterpiece it's often touted as. The story is real good - pretty simple but effective and character centered, gotta love that. Usually John Wayne just plays John Wayne in a different film situation but wow, I'm so surprised, John Wayne gives an excellent performance here in The Searchers as Ethan. Wayne exercises the same classic screen presence...
