Shane

Best Western of all Times!

There is a friendly dispute among western movie lovers as to which is the greatest of all time. Most are torn between The Searchers, Rio Bravo, and Shane. Though I love all things John Wayne I have to admit Shane is the greatest. The cast is beyond excellent and Alan Ladd underplayed the character perfectly. Camera work, framing, the mood, and the tension between Shane and Mrs Start building up to the climax places it not only in the list of greatest westerns but one of the over-all greatest films ever. The eternal question...did Shane live after riding of into the hill?

Melodramatic story of a gunslinger wanting to change his way’s, but is forced into a gunfight for higher reasons. The acting is standard, as is the action and cinematography. Nothing really stands out in this by the numbers western.

Great film, but it is TERRIBLE that you do not offer this film in High Definition. This is clearly the same glorious transfer that is on the Blu-ray, but coarsened here in standard definition. I own the film on Blu-ray, and wanted to have it on my iPad. You now offer many similar classics in High Definition. Someone at iTunes didn't realize how "Shane" relies for its power on its breathtaking visuals, which have been significantly diminished here. Please offer it in High Definition. Frank Bidart

On on the best ever made SHANE! Stands alone as a vintage classic for many years to come.

A very special movie!

I was 10 yo when I first saw this movie and Alan Ladd became THE cowboy hero of me and my friends for a while. We all wished we were Brandon de Wilde. Thank, God, we were too young to see the flaws that adults saw in this movie. My child still loves this movie and I recommend it to anyone who loves oater classics.

I HEARD ABOUT YA.............WHAT HAVE YA HEARD....YOUR NOTHIN BUT A LOW DOWN YANKEE LIAR

My favorite movie, thanks! Cinematography breathtaking in the original movie, but suffers in this digital version. Great lines..."I wish they'd give me bullets for this gun"..."but there's too many Shane"... The night scenes are much darker than the original however, what a shame.

Very surprised it is not available for Rent
