To me its not only the best western of all time but one of the greatest films of all time. I do not think there is a single movie I have seen more times than Shane. The cinematography alone makes it a must watch movie.
I agree completely. A great film and not just a great western, it transcends it's genre. I too have seen it many times, probably more than any other film, just like you
Many fond memories since 1973 when my late father and I would watch this classic. I cried when I saw the ending and today in 2021 when I watch this movie with my 26 year old son, I still shed a tear at the end. My favorite western as well. #2 Good Bad Ugly #3 Magnificent Seven
I also agree completely Troy....I have watched the movie countless times and replayed the last showdown scene over and over again....it is just chilling.....and so believable, unlike the films of today....Jack Wilson one of the truly bad characters of cinema....you can keep your unbelievable Hannibal Lecters.......
@@franksantos3418 I thought for a moment that I'd written this post...until you got to the son, of which I, sadly, have none. Magical movie for me. Amazing to think how impactful it was for me when dad had me watch it when I was 8 on a 19" Zenith, compared to being old enough to have seen it in a theater or at least on a 55" home theater set-up. I remember my now gone much older cousin (dad's first cousin and WWII paratrooper in the Pacific) telling me he still remembered the gunfire scenes in Shame because they used live gunfire instead of the usual "cap gun" effect common in westerns of the era. And he said they jumped in their seats (he'd been to war by then and was about 28-29) when that first scene occurred where he shows Joey about shooting.
Shane I saw as a child and fell in totally in love with Alan Ladd and still am to this day. A great actor he should have got the Oscar he so deserved for this movie. Also so good in Gatsby not recognised at the tine it was made as being the great movie it was. He was phenomenally good looking with a perfect face and body. You ciuld see he had been a swimming and driving champion when in high school and afterwards. I wish he had a much longer life he deserved to enjoy his fame and be with his family who loved him. I still adore him. Beautiful man inside and out.
He came and went so fast. Shane just immortalized him. Stevens a genius...and loved the movie so much that he spent over a year editing it (much to the horror of the studio who had already PAID EVERYONE without seeing a nickel at the gate).
I've seen I believe all the great westerns ever produced up to current and for me Shane ranks easily in the top 3, along with "The Searchers", and "The Man who shot Liberty Valence".
Yes...the decency of the story and the attention to the grief and sadness of the tragedy, the musical score all add to the unforgetable greatness of this my favorite western movie.
Shane foi sem dúvida o maior e melhor filme de Faroeste de todos os tempos.! A atmosfera vibramente , e Espetacular do local da Filmagem foi inesquecível e com certeza vai ficar marcada para sempre em nossas Memórias.! Um Elenco Espetacular dos protagonistas e vai ficar marcada para sempre em nossas memórias.! Fernando
I watched the "Shane" promo on SPXWS and they made it politically correct. "You lowdown liar", instead of "You lowdown Yankee liar". I always watch it on TCM when it plays.
That'll be the norm soon everywhere. I need to order that DVD now before, like gasoline powered Dodge Challengers (gone in '23), they are no more in this deceitful, lying world.
I agree, this is my favorite film. I'd heard a lot about it but had never seen it until about 10 Years ago. I'm still in awe.

Wore out two Shane CD's over the past four years.

no mention of the great child actor brandon de wilde - and the importance o his and shane's relationship
Shane rides into town. Wilson rides into town. Shane rides out of town. Wilson does not. Best western ever.

They say, in show business, never to work with animals or children, but Shane gives that a run for its money!
I saw Shane as a child and I still remember the beauty of the Tetons and a heartbroken Joey calling, "Shane, come back,"
Good.western like it
Great discussion by Carradine
Una de las mejores películas del Oeste.
Please show a full video of the original film of Shane. No neeed for a moderator since we have started and know this film 30 years ago. Thanks
I always get a kick when I see the dust from the vehicle going left to right at the beginning of the film. 4-22-19
I love Keith ;)
When given the opportunity to shine, Keith has proven to be a very fine actor!

SPX...what is that?
You can't offend the Yankees. I'm sure they are a big paycheck to TCM.
Great movie and Keith Carradine is great. What a family , one patriarch is even a serial killer who runs a puppet show. It's a silent
