I first saw "Shane" when I was about 10 years old back in the '60s.. No movie I have ever seen since has had such a profound emotional impact on me. I was totally enthralled and captivated. I still feel that way today because it's such a great movie, beyond being just a western. It's so well made, perfectly directed and photographed with such great characters and acting and set in such a magnificent location.
That’s exactly how I feel. I watched this film in the 60’s when I was a little boy. I still watch it when it comes on. By far my favorite film of my life
My Dad took me to see this at a drive in on it's re-release in the early 1960s. A father and son memory I'll treasure forever. I've had the movie on DVD for years. Great film.
I loved that movie when I was a boy (81yo now) and I had the VHS video in the 80's and saw it about 30 + times...Alan Ladd and Jack Palance were perfectly cast for their roles but everyone played their parts well also...unforgettable gunfight at the end. Thanks for the memory.
It always seems the great movies become classics when remakes simply are not possible. Gone With The Wind, Citizen Kane, Giant, Casablanca, Shane, From Here To Eternity, Ben Hur, The Ten Commandment, et al testify to that.
I would love to see a new adaption one day, just like they did with 'True Grit'. The newer being better than the original from the 60s. But with todays bullshit... i don't know. I'm affraid what they would do to Shane.
Exactly, who could you cast that had the star power of the main characters? Even the up and coming Jack Palance, who, was credited as Walter Jack Palance, made a huge contribution as the seriously bad guy. And then there’s that kid, what a kid.
I seen the Movie at the Showboat theater in Freeport Texas I think it was 1953. I still watch it . My Daddy carried me to see it. I was a Cowboy from an early age. And well remember all the Silver Screen stars from Johnny Mac Brown, Hopalong, Gene, Audie Murphy, John Wayne, and many more.
The final moments of this extraordinary movie has been with me since I discovered back in 2001.The film itself it's a jewel in the vast majority of western films.The majestic view of the mountains, Joey's voice echoing thru the valley calling his hero to come back has a personal meaning for all of us who had lost a father, brother, son, friend. It holds an immense feeling of emptiness and sadness
On the high plateau of the Grand Teton valley in Wyoming an American Film masterpiece came to life during the summer and fall of 1951 and was truly an iconic western by George Stevens that is almost 75 years old now and in my opinion, the greatest western ever made !!
My father introduced me to Shane. I was probably the same age as Little Joey at the time. I wish he was still alive. He would've loved to visit these locations.
What a wonderful film. One of my all time favorite movies. The ending always does me in, seeing little Joe, with his tear stained face, running after Shane and calling for him. His anguish is raw and palpable.
Victor Young's theme music is glorious Joe'y's, "he wouldn't have shot you / cleared leather" shouts to Shane as he rode away after the gunfight, made me wonder if Shane's wound was given him by Wilson or Ryker's brother up on the balcony. I always assumed it was the rifle-shot from the balcony. I've watched that shoot-out scene several times and i'm sure Wilson didn't get Shane with any of his pistol shots. SO, maybe Joey's dialogue was mistaken.
One of my favorite Westerns ! My others are True Grit, My darling Clemintine, Stage coach, The Searchers, Winchester 73, Magnificent Seven, and The Cowboys.
Bellissimo film con ottimi attori ed accompagnato da un splendida colonna sonora. Lo rivedo sempre molto volentieri senza mai annoiarmi. Alessandro Firenze Italy
I was over touring on a HD motorbike a few years back. I had read before that the old farmstead used in the movie still stood. I asked an old man in Jackson tourist centre where I could find the ruins - his face lit up as if he had witnessed his first born and a smile broke across his face from ear to ear. I travelled to the farmstead and called out to Shane….but he was long gone 😢
We have found all of the Shane movie locations, the Shane cabin spot, Earnies cabin, etc. It took several years. The only one shown in this video is Earnies cabin.
@@usamade5943 No we just used the movie and looked at the sites. We talked to the man that brought the cabbages out from town every day for the "garden". He told us about where the shane cabin was and on our own we found the location. I believe the cabin was moved to Jackson for a while and then was bought by someone from Texas and moved there. We worked in Jackson for three years and had lots of time to look.
*QUIGLEY DOWN UNDER* is another Cult Film that cannot be remade. Tom Selleck said he would make a sequel of it -IF- he could find a better script than the original movie. I guess he never found a better script which is fine with me.
"So you're Jack Wilson. I've heard about you." " What have you heard Shane?" " I've heard that you're a lowdown Yankee liar." " Prove it". Best scene in a great movie filled with great scenes.
Elisha Cook Jr . " You're nothing but a low down lying yankee " Jack Palance " Proove it " . ( I don't think they could have picked anyone better for that part )
I had a film class years ago in school that showed this and you could clearly see an airplane off in the distance flying past in the final scene where Ladd is riding off. It got removed as I haven't seen it since. A really great film. Jack Palance looks demonic as the hired killer.
You are so Wright they made a part two to high noon. It was sh... It would be like painting another Mona Lisa. There is and will only ever be one shane
So, Ernie Wright's place is sort of there but I didn't quite understand the rest of the video. Near the end as Shane is leaving, you see a couple buildings in the prairie (not nearly as many as made up the small town in the movie), then suddenly they're gone. Anyway, it's my favorite movie and thx for the effort. I wonder if there's any movie memorabilia left from Shane?
After this movie came out, “prove it…” Became a common schoolyard challenge. Still best western ever, but I’m afraid music videos and the short scenes, frequent camera cuts, and unnecessarily brutal violence of modern moviemaking have shortened peoples attention spans to the point that they can’t appreciate the tension and drama of the sequences in this movie. The dog slinking out right before the final gunfight should’ve had his paws preserved at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre.
In the deer scene at the beginning you can see a white PU truck way off in the distance.Shane was fine a movie with a great setting. The genre and stories repeat the same theme again and again. Shanes gunbelt was done by Zuni Silversmiths.I Think the" cartwhee"l themes of the Silver are Indian designs and are not cartwheels.They have some symbolic meaning. Jack Palance was the best bad man ever.He has the same black hat that Henry Fonda had in Once pon a Time in the West. Standard dress for bad men. Shanes buckskin outfit is rather odd. We note the big ranchers are always evil in westerns. Corporate America?One of the best westerns of all time,but the Searchers with John Wayne is the greatest. That is based on a true story.
The greatest line in movie westerns.what did you here Shane.i heard you were a low down yankee liar.greatest shot in western movies.the last shot.Shanes gun is pointing to the floor and kills the man on the balcony.LOL.

I have watched Shane many times and I have never not teared up, best western ever.
Simply the best western film of all time !

My Dad and I loved Shane..Dad is gone,but the memory is still fresh.
There are MANY great
westerns, on the big and small screen.
"SHANE" is without question THE greatest western movie of all-time.
One of the finest western movies of all time...
Watched this movie over 40 times never once at any quiz have I been asked a question on it, that,s life.
Answer: Low down yankee liar.
Question: who is Jack Wilson.
Absolutely agree !!! One of my top two fave Westerns of all time. It's a masterpiece & an immortal treasure.
The best western ever made, it set the standard for the genre
Greatest western of all time imho !
I had to read Shane for my summer book reading.Its stories like these you understand why our constitution is so important.
Especially that pesky little 2nd Amendment!
@@crazyelf3839 yeah just think how things would be without it

they havent done a remake because no director would dare do it, shane was that good
It always seems the great movies become classics when remakes simply are not possible. Gone With The Wind, Citizen Kane, Giant, Casablanca, Shane, From Here To Eternity, Ben Hur, The Ten Commandment, et al testify to that.

@@baileyreport. True
Pale Rider was a kind of a remake.

i remember seeing those mountains when i was younger. they're as beautiful now as they were back then. i hope to one day visit there again
Shane is the greatest Western ever made -- The farmhouse location should be restored and maintained as a National Historical Site.
I agree, this movie is extraordinary,simply the best.
Great idea of restoring the place where it was filmed
@markmarsh
I totally agree 👍

Thank you for this! My favorite western-and one of my few topmost preferred movies of all time.
El mejor western de la historia,el mejor final y los mejores paisajes,tiene cosas de La Patagonia ese lugar,es hermoso,saludos desde Argentina.
Great movie. Beautiful country. 🙂

Shane e ‘ pura poesia. E il capplavoro dei film western
The best western ever made
🤔If only life could be like this. Thanks for posting this. I NEEDED THIS!👌
My father introduced me to Shane. I was probably the same age as Little Joey at the time. I wish he was still alive. He would've loved to visit these locations.
It’s great you put this beautiful music with the locations 👍🏼
정말 훌륭하다는 표현보다 더 칭찬할 수 있는 단어가 있다면 망설이지 않겠어요 라스트 장면에서 조이가 간절히 셰인을 부르는모습은 눈물이 멈추지 않았습니다

Great choices. I'd add Hondo, The Three Godfathers and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.
@@r.watson1928 High Noon, A Fistful of Dollars. For a Few Dollars More. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
Those movies you mentioned shouldn't be in the same sentence with Shane.
Shane, the searchers, high plains drifter
The Shootist.
Thanks for doing this,one of my all time favorite movie!
Visited this area when I was a child ... no more stunning visuals in the world

Good job. An unforgettable movie.

I like that you called out to him. I would have done the same. He may have been long gone, but you made a spiritual connection with him.
🤔This is ONE movie that no one could remake.
I SO agree. They could never recapture genuine emotional wholesomeness, and it would be peppered with the f word. Horrible.
I saw the movie in the seventies, & I named my 1st born and only son SHANE!!
He enjoys telling that story~~"Shane, come back, please come back!! 😢
Aside from being one of the best westerns ever, it also had a terrific soundtrack .....you can listen to it anytime on yt !
The best western of all time , imho ! This wonderful movie began its life in October 1951 and as they say the rest is history !
My Dad grew up in Montana in mountains like this. RIP.
In so many ways sad, we will never witness Actors like them Again,But Happy we have the Memories of that fine Movie.
I only pray, I get a chance to go see them, its in my bucket list
It is worth it. The mountains are very beautiful.
One of my favorite movies
What a beautiful old log cabin the scenery is great nothing like Australia
In my top five westerns 👍👍
Bello...bello....para siempre!!!!

Best scene in a great movie filled with great scenes.
is that the actual cabin used in the film? heck, a little paint, some carpeting and your in business
jack palance was seriously cool
Elisha Cook Jr . " You're nothing but a low down lying yankee " Jack Palance " Proove it " . ( I don't think they could have picked anyone better for that part )
Shane were the most great film I have ever seen in 1953 Alan Ladd is my good actor
OMG! Just saw this. I love this movie!!!! Watched an old "What's my Line" that had Brando DeWilde on.
"Shane" and the "Spaghetti Westerns" are pretty much the only Westerns I've ever liked.
I've been to all the places in Jackson Hole. The Wright Cabin is still there.
I like shane...
Rip 2 boy and Mister Shane
Looved this movie!!!!!!
Its the best plus best soundtrack
Great video
I had a film class years ago in school that showed this and you could clearly see an airplane off in the distance flying past in the final scene where Ladd is riding off. It got removed as I haven't seen it since. A really great film. Jack Palance looks demonic as the hired killer.
that wasn't a plane that was a UFO. There were a number of confirmed sightings in 1953 in Jackson Hole, Wyoming
You never saw it again because it was fake the first time.
Shane was filmed in 1951 and released in 1953. It premiered in New York City.
THE SEARCHERS ONE OF JOHN WAYNES BEST MOVIES, TRULY WORTHY OF TOP WESTERN MOVIES OF ALL TIME
You are so Wright they made a part two to high noon. It was sh... It would be like painting another Mona Lisa. There is and will only ever be one shane
So, Ernie Wright's place is sort of there but I didn't quite understand the rest of the video. Near the end as Shane is leaving, you see a couple buildings in the prairie (not nearly as many as made up the small town in the movie), then suddenly they're gone.
Anyway, it's my favorite movie and thx for the effort.
I wonder if there's any movie memorabilia left from Shane?
Glorious scenery.
I would love to have a log from the Wright Cabin and make a violin from it.
I was on a job building a log lodge out on the graovont country back in 89 and you could still see traces of the tire tracks in the area
Grande film.....😍
Thank you💖
That little boy sure looks like Shane.
La zona de grand tetón es maravillosa para el rodaje de ya Saint
Das ist super
ONE OF THE TOP 5 WESTERNS
Wow
You dont need to be tall to ride high in the saddle
Forget John Wayne Shane is the best western of all time period
Witha all do respect to the movie Shane I think The Searchers by John Ford with John Wayne is perhaps the best movie ever made. My opinion of course.
The man who shot liberty valance,stagecoach,the searchers,red river,true grit,and last but not least.the shootist.just to name a few.
@@jerrykeown753I have Shane at #1 and The Searchers at #2 , High Noon #3 imho.

Love the Duke , but personally would have to go with Shane over The Searchers , both iconic westerns.
If your a alan ladd fan look for the proud rebel
Hard country ...
What do you need a compass for?? LOL
The greatest line in movie westerns.what did you here Shane.i heard you were a low down yankee liar.greatest shot in western movies.the last shot.Shanes gun is pointing to the floor and kills the man on the balcony.LOL.
I was wondering who else might notice that.
Shane was almost as fast as me.
OK this was NOT at all what I expected.
1 OF THE TOP 5 WESTERNS, IMHO, ALONG WITH HIGH NOON, RED RIVER, TOMBSTONE & OPEN RANGE. CAN ANYONEM THINK OF OTHERS WORTH MENTIONING?
"The Searchers"
wow! too bad he didn't tell us where these locations are.........
Not the best but a good western.
