SHANE (1953)

A (very) widescreen western about the consequences of violence, or something, which I would’ve enjoyed more if not for the super-whiny little kid.

THE LAST PICTURE SHOW (1971)

Cloris Leachman won an Oscar for her performance in this drama about teenagers in what Roger Ebert called “a town that should not exist.”

THE WILD BUNCH (1969)

A violent, nihilistic revisionist Western that changed how violence was shown on-screen.
