That'll be the day

The Searchers

(1956)
Funny thing is, the first time I saw this, I didn't much like it. The second time I saw it, years later, I thought it was just OK. So why did I even bother seeing it a third time? Because the acclaim was so nearly unanimous that I thought I must be missing something. And so I was.

Moral of the story, I guess, is to get this on as big a screen as you can find. Repeatedly, if need be.
