A fun, opinionated, illustrated look at Westerns - with great photographs from great movies. A compendium of short essays about, and evocative photos from, the 100 greatest Western movies of all time for all cowboy enthusiasts and cinema fans. Compiled by the editors of the popular Western magazine American Cowboy, it covers plenty of movies that appeal to a wide variety of ages and tastes - from The Ox-Bow Incident, High Noon, and Shane to The Wild Bunch, High Plains Drifter, and Unforgiven. Each essay makes the case for why the selected movie belongs in the top 100 - and included are five movies you've never heard of but should immediately put high on your list. The introduction sets forth the criteria for the selections while also presenting a short history of the genre.
