Bend of the River 1952
What a great western. It has all the trappings of that idealized conception of the wild west. Which I love! Superb direction with some shots bringing a real nerve to the action. Plenty of amazing setpieces. This is the kind of movie that brings people, horses and wagons up a mountain and down again. It's about good people trying to survive and bad people trying their best to be good again. The only sour note is it's depiction of black people.

How the West Was Won 1962
Great stories and characters with some incredible setpieces. The aspect ratio is somewhat distracting which is a reminder that technical novelties rarely age well.
