AFI Movie Date Night #5

Tonight's movie was #96 on the list, The Searchers starring John Wayne. This movie was the biggest jumper between the two lists, jumping up to #12 on the 2007 list. After viewing it, I'm not sure why it took such a jump. I have heard that this one is considered the best of director John Ford's movies. Sure it's got some great moments, some great views, perfect directing, decent acting from the Duke but I wouldn't think of it as within the top 20 movies ever made. I would keep it within the Top 100 though.

I didn't really like the ending though. I think it was unrealistic and therefore, it sold out.
