The American Film Institute's 10 Top 10 was on CBS earlier in the week. I love seeing how many of the films I have managed to watch. Thankfully, due to the prevalence of DVD's one doesn't have to go to film school in order to screen the classics nowadays.
On the number two slot under the Western genre was High Noon. I'm about 56 years late to this party. But hey, wait a minute, I'm not even that old. I'd never seen it, so I found it at the library. I watched it today and must say it was suspenseful. Upon reading about it, I find it hard to understand why it was considered un-American during the McCarthy era. I think High Noon is pretty true to human nature.
