It is soooooooo hard for me to have a favorite anything and the more I enjoy something the even harder that becomes.

Yet look what's at the top of mt list, by no coincidence.
"Shane" is my favorite western of all time. It's just incredibly charming, and you can relate to all the characters. From the families to the greedy, and everything in between. The relationships between Shane & the sod busters smile the boy, the wife, the friend.

You can even see the Bad guys point of view, and sympathize in that everyone feels they are in the right. And Jack Palance is just a heartless killer and he speaks volumes in that role without having to say two words.

The scene when Stonewall goes into town and gets provoked then gets shot down by Wilson (Palance)
The town is always all fall of mud and so grimy....
It's story and character driven and without a whole lot of violence, at least unnecessary violence.
Gems like Shane have it all, High Noon is another where there isn't a shot fired till the end.

The picture on the DVD is very good and it's very nice through my up-verted DVD player and HD TV

BUT.... Please please somebody remaster this gem and release it on Blu Ray.
Don't know if that will ever happen, but I'd buy it day one!

I NEVER get tired of this movie, enjoy it for many years Doug smile



Thanks!
