 EDIT: It just occurred to me that some people out there might not be familiar with Boetticher, so allow me to elaborate: he was a man who became famous for making the most straightforward westerns in the history of time.  The typical (read: every) Boetticher plot goes like this: A man (Randolph Scott) rides a horse in a direction.  Along the way he will probably find another man, whom he will shoot with his gun.  There may be a woman, but probably not.  Later, Scott will ride his horse some more, and possibly drink some coffee. The end!

I remember when Diane Lane was attached to Appaloosa. Sigh...
Also, Seven Men from Now just might be my favorite Western.
More than Back to the Future Part III? Wait, I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. Stupid ambiguous written words!
