Growing up in the 70s/80s with a father who loved westerns, he would have loved this one. I'm not a western fan but I love a good movie because it took me back to a time when you watched a movie once and said...that's going to be a classic. It was better than I had anticipated and definitely one that I'll watch over and over again. Best movie I've seen in a while - actors/characters, settings, costumes and music...it was great! I've been telling everyone about it.
