Can’t help myself. Whenever this 1969 Western pops up on TV, I have to recommend it, just in case someone still hasn’t seen it. Or, like me, gets ensnared in its web and watches all over again, because it’s one of my absolute favorite films. In fact, it’s the sort of film that inspired me to coin the phrase spider-web movies – which, if you read the link to my TVWW blog from 2012, has nothing to do with the Amazing Spider-Man. But everything to do with the enjoyment of a true cinematic classic. Paul Newman, Robert Redford star.

Yes, on my "Have to Drop Eveything and Watch" list whenever it appears, also. Along with "Cool Hand Luke", "Animal House", "Apocalypse Now", "Boogie Nights", "Singin' in the Rain", "Goodfellas".... (It's a good-sized list...!)
