re: Outlaw Jose Wales starting on AMC

Probably the best written, best directed, best acted and, therefore, the greatest Western (anti-Western) film of all time. Tombstone is up there, as is The Searchers, The Shootist, Butch and Sundance - but Josey Wales just has no weak spots - as a film - hits every note just right. As gritty looking and violent as The Wild Bunch (although Clint is never as enthusiastic and lusty with his violence as Peckinpah), as noble as any John Wayne movie.

No question in my mind TOJW is the greatest western film, period.
