Great, great, great movie. This is John Wayne's best performance and this is also one of the best movies, and westerns ever made. Actually, there are a lot of westerns that I consider to be some of the finest of the genre ever made, but the ones that should be at the very top of the list are "The Searchers" and "Shane". So if you ever want to see which is number one, meaning the best western ever made, then you should watch both, and then, form your own opinions. Everything has never been better, including the movie itself. Should never be remade, even though it already has, and those who have remade it have another thing coming. Mose Harper is the funniest character, and John Wayne is the best overall. John Ford is one of the best directors that ever lived, along with Hitchcock, Mann, Hawks, Hathaway, and John Wayne himself. Natalie Wood is even better than she was in Miracle on 34th Street. Ward Bond is excellent. Jeffrey Hunter deserves a "job well done on the 1956 movie The Searchers" as an inscription on his gravestone. And everybody else...well, everybody else is everybody else.
