Hey, it's a great movie. It won plenty of Oscars.

I just can't forget when my ex-girlfriend's dad got rickrolled by Brokeback Mountain. He's a huge western DVDs collector. He was so excited when there's a new western, let alone that it won Oscars. He wanted to go all blind to maximize the experience.

Sitting in his little home theater room, with the whole family... dimmed the lights... watching a cowboy movie... lol. I can't imagine how awkward that must've been!

But in the end, he said it was a great movie nevertheless.

Those top two I think I could watch over and over, which is very rare for me. Even Liberty Valance I know too well, but especially with High Noon, the way it's filmed, it's got tension and visual film technique that makes it a treat every time.
