It's all good.

But beyond all the action, it's pretty moving and elegiac too: the old Mexican dude talking about being a child again, the scene with William Holden and the teenage whore where they don't even exchange words yet say so much.

Screw greatest western. Greatest movie.

How many films? I don't have the exact number (they haven't announced the full year's lineup), but it's something like two per week, every week for the rest of 2009.

Right up there with "Stagecoach" and "The Searchers". William Holden is awesome. Basically, it's about a bunch of men stealing, whoring, drinking, riding and shooting. Yeah, it's about loyalty too. A great film.
