Ansel Adams was born on this day in 1902. In honor of Adams' love for the landscape of the American West we shall contemplate The Top 5 Films Depicting the American West
Please keep in consideration the photography and the depiction of the landscape in the films you pick, let's keep this in the loving memory of Ansel. For example Tombstone is a great Western, but its images are not outstanding. At least that is my opinion.
Also remember that it does not necessarily mean the Old West.
5) Brokeback Mountain
4) High Noon
3) Dead Man
2) Badlands
1) The Searchers
Honorable Mention: Legends of the Fall (don't giggle)& Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

i am totally unqualified here. i can't think of a single one. do something easier so i can play :)
Maybe there weren't enough wide-angle shots, but I will still be foolish enough to add Treasure of the Sierra Madre ftw.
And unless it deals with over-rated films, no top 5 list should ever feature Brokeback Mountain.
agreed on overratedness (not a word but that has never stopped me before) but come on you have to admit that it has some pretty nice images
