Solid film with a great title character and an annoying kid.
Tremendous western that shows its age a little but is still outstanding.
A western that still holds up due to the strong writing and acting.
Each lonely kid ready to bust out of a dullness wants a Shane in his/her life. Intense, mysterious, & fair. A lot cooler than a superhero.
Great retelling of the Novel and just a great western
A good introduction to the genre of westerns. Has some very heavy hitting moments. A must watch!
Alan Ladd’s understated performance was perfect for the caring, enigmatic Shane in this western that epitomizes the very ideals of America.
A true classic and a must watch for any western fan.
A classic western. It has aged quite a bit but still some really nice shots and moments
Very slow, very drawn out western. Big broadway acting, some pretty camera work. I know it’s a classic, not for me
