Little Big Man (despite it’s leftist bent). The book was great, too.
Read the book before the movie came out and was a little disappointed in the film version, but it grew on me. Thomas Bergers book still ranks as one of the best novels I have ever read, 50 years later (and I read a lot of books).
I loved Little Big Man, both book and movie. I like the list but might put The Searchers in the top spot. And being a John Ford fan I have to add Fort Apache to the list. The scene where Col Thursday is starting a fight with Cochise is great. It also reminds me of a timeshare presentation I had in Aruba. I was Cochise and “Tell him I find him without honor.” from the movie became “What kind of man does not care about his family’s vacation?” But that’s a different story.

***Little Big Man***
A fun movie but so historically inaccurate it is pitiful.
