Posted on 08/07/2015 8:37:07 PM PDT by DemforBush
Senator Ranse Stoddard (Jimmy Stewart) returns home to a two-bit town to attend the funeral of a local rancher (John Wayne). The Senator is a legend in the town for killing a vicious outlaw named Liberty Valance (Lee Marvin) some 20 years previous. The true story of what happened that fateful night, however, is not exactly the same as the the official story....
Directed by John Ford. Co-Starring a who's-who of great western and character actors (Woody Strode, Lee Van Cleef, Andy Devine, etc.)

“That was my steak.”
One of those movies I can’t help but watch every time it is on.
John Wayne sure liked his Winchesters.

In this film, as in so many others, he appears with some of the greatest actors of his generation and simply blows them off the screen.
Good movie with a neat surprise ending....
That was a good movie.
That town wasn’t worth it, IMO
That scene where he burns his home, the running and staggering from the wagon looked VERY real.
One of my all-time favorites.
When the legend becomes fact, print the legend
Great movie and acting by the entire cast.
Some really great lines in this movie. I so miss John Wayne. A real man’s man. Plus a great American.
“A beer’s not drinking!”
Great film. I had never watched it before, and saw it about six months ago.
Netflix has been really great for me in that way. I don’t watch television, and i can’t stand sitting through commercials, but Netflix and rentals have been great to see all those movies I never did...
One of the greatest of all time. It is so filled with great acting, dialog, and important themes. I always love it.
. . . " when the myth becomes a legend, print the legend"
Personally I think The Outlaw Josey Wales was the best western ever made. But I do agree with you The Man Who
Shot Liberty Valance is ranked in the top five.
