"Shane" (1953)
-Alan Ladd, Jack Palance

A former gunman sides with a farmer and his family against a ruthless cattle baron.

Phantom's Review: Classic all the way. Alan Ladd does a great job as the title character and Jack Palance is perfect as the villain. When Palance smiles after he shoots down a former confederate, it is more terrifying than a hundred Jason movies.
A great film, but I will say that I thought Jack Schaefer's original novel was better, but it's still a classic movie.
