Viewing Notes

I watched John Ford’s The Searchers per Filmspotting’s Top 5 abduction film recommendations. Considered one of the top films of all time there’s no question as to why; all the performances are great and John Wayne is so much fun to watch in every scene. “You speak good American… for a Comanche.”
