The Searchers (1956)

I'll never understand why people ooh and awe over the so called classics. Old movies are filled with two types of acting: over and bad. This western had both in spades. Add to that having to endure the so-called "night" scenes with noon day shadows and landscapes clearly shot in Arizona and Utah, even though everyone is referred to as a Texan, and you start to question if renting anything before 1980 is a good idea.

At two hours, this movie felt like three. Embarrassing stereotypes and racial slurs were rampant. I watched this because it kept showing up on people's favorites list. People are clearly stupid.
