unlabelledView post →The Criterion 4k for EYES WIDE SHUT sets a new standard for what a movie can look like on physical media. I'm floored. It's probably the best looking disc that I've seen, along with THE SEARCHERS.
unlabelledView post →As a teenager, not having to see any more John Wayne movies was a reason to leave home. A new 4K restoration of John Ford's The Searchers made me look again; this is an undeniably powerful film, out now on physical-media steel-book from Warner Brothers; 4 out of 5. film-authority.com/2026/08/07/t...
unlabelledView post →One movie a day for 365 days. 74/365: The Searchers. Needless to say this is one of the best achievements in the arts of the twentieth century. Certainly the best and most complex western ever made.
unlabelledView post →Books to Films 📚=🎞️ The Searchers (1954) by Alan Le May was filmed in 1956 by John Ford. Based on the true story of Cynthia Ann Parker (mom of Quanah Parker). Structurally faithful, the film focuses on the Ethan character played by John Wayne making him xenophobic of Natives. 🌵🤠🏹 #booksky #filmsky
unlabelledView post →Sometimes a trace of Texas isn't even in Texas. This photo shows John Ford directing "The Searchers" ---- a movie that is set in Texas ---- in Monument Valley, Arizona. Ya'll may remember Mrs. Jorgensen (played by Olive Carey) saying that "A Texican is nothing but a human man way out on a limb."

unlabelledView post →Unlike many westerns of its time, THE SEARCHERS spans 5 years, with episodic storytelling that emphasizes the long and grueling nature of Ethan’s quest. The film resists easy pacing, instead allowing characters to grow and reveal themselves over time. #TCMParty #TheSearchers ^JW
unlabelledView post →About to start my tenth Ebertfest, where I will be on post-film panels for John Ford’s The Searchers, Angus MacLachlan’s A Little Prayer, and Guy Maddin’s Rumours. Should be a fun one.
unlabelledView post →This afternoon’s movie was The Searchers, a fascinating, desperately uncomfortable film. My micro-review here boxd.it/8xoDbr
unlabelledView post →I was talking to my mom the other day and I ended up listing out a bunch of the films from the Paramount Theatre*'s Summer Classic Series and when I mentioned that they're playing The Searchers she just yelled "fuck John Wayne" into the phone *local historic movie theater

unlabelledView post →The Searchers: the film that proves that even in a deeply flawed but masterful study of frontier violence & the unresolvable legacy of a genocidal settler colonial mythology, there’s still plenty of room for a funny Swedish guy.
unlabelledView post →Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Day #187 "Bone Tomahawk" (S. Craig Zahler/2015) Zahler's awesome horror/western that asks what if Cannibal Holocaust ran headlong into The Searchers. Great film for fans of both westerns and horror. Check it out!

unlabelledView post →rewatching DIRTY HARRY, THE FRENCH CONNECTION, and THE SEARCHERS in close proximity really made me mull over the idea of a film being a vessel (even a secure container) for evil; or even its characters. There's something deeply wrong with Callahan, Popeye, and Edwards /
unlabelledView post →Though my parents were in some ways quite overprotective, my dad thought that almost any movie was age-appropriate as long as it was good. He introduced me to the greats whenever I showed curiosity—The Searchers, Cabaret, Alien, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Citizen Kane, Lawrence of Arabia.

unlabelledView post →Heard Spielberg say once that he would watch SEVEN SAMURAI, LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE, and THE SEARCHERS before starting every movie and, Folks, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS is a David Lean-Ass Spielberg movie.
unlabelledView post →Sampled The Searchers on iPlayer to see if the Warners restoration looks as good as they say. Spectacular, stayed for the whole movie. John Wayne gives a layered and unshowy performance as the original racist uncle working toward a glimmer of redemption
unlabelledView post →NW The Searchers (1956). I’m watching all 60 movies listed in William Bayer’s The Great Movies (an achievable film watching New Year’s resolution) and this is the second in the book after Stagecoach (1939).
unlabelledView post →Seeing The Searchers in 70 mm @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social. First time I’ve seen this movie in a theater, last time—after 30+ years—I’ll sit in the old seats. When next I’m here, there will be all new seating. With cupholders.

unlabelledView post →I felt this about watching The Searchers yesterday w/ @mariephillips.bsky.social. A completely different film from the one I experienced 10 years ago. Also, it was great to watch it with someone experiencing its wild tonal shifts/moral complexities for the first time. letterboxd.com/marie_philli...
unlabelledView post →related but i watched The Searchers for the first time a year or two ago and it's honestly a great movie - it's obviously racist but so weird and unhinged and not really what you expect.
unlabelledView post →Where there was a John Wayne movie called The Searchers the Zionist made reference to that portrays them as savages that kill and kidnap, but it was based on the story of war chief Quanah Parker's white mom who was so upset over being kidnapped back into white society she starved herself to death.
unlabelledView post →As an aside, here are Westerns I saw on the big screen while on acid: The Wild Bunch in 70mm: amazing, LOUD The Searchers in 70mm: amazing Heaven's Gate: amazing in parts, grating in others (much like the film through a sober lens, only extra amazing & extra grating)
unlabelledView post →Tonight's film is The Searchers (1956) directed by John Ford
unlabelledView post →#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Gargoyles, MFTV movie from 1972. Scared me then, laughable now. Baby-faced Scott Glenn is in it though. Cleansed my pallet by watching 3 winners. The Searchers is the best western ever. I will not debate you on this. THOND, classic & BTW intriguing premise.
unlabelledView post →Has anyone seen this Inuit remake of THE SEARCHERS?? I simply must see it??? Unless one of you tells me it sucks???
unlabelledView post →does that mean you shouldn't like the Searchers? I mean, it certainly complicates my admiration for the film.

unlabelledView post →is Vera Miles the greatest actress in American film who almost never gets any chatter? worked tirelessly for almost 50 years in film and on TV; the wounded heart of Hitchcock's masterpiece THE WRONG MAN, arguably THE SEARCHERS as well. Nearly played Madeleine/Judy in VERTIGO. Still with us at 94!!!

unlabelledView post →When you've definitely seen THE SEARCHERS, "By 1968, when the movie was filmed, the studio system that had perpetuated the myth of the valiant cowboy in movies like The Searchers had collapsed..."
unlabelledView post →Day 7 of #Junesploitation – Free Space! – Priest (2012) Cool intro animation by Tartakovsky. Unfortunately that's the best thing in the movie The action scenes are over the top and pretty silly. Karl Urban is always a joy It's not the worst version of The Searchers I have seen, but it's up there
unlabelledView post →Did I tell you I rewatched The Searchers the other day? With John Wayne? It’s one of the most verbally violent movies (with a ton of physical violence to go with it) out there and normally, I’ve hated that movie with a passion.
unlabelledView post →in THE SEARCHERS, she played Lucy, and was responsible for one of the most blood-curdling closeups in movie history: arguably the first crucial pivot point in the narrative. if you know the film reasonably well, I think you know which image I'm referring to
unlabelledView post →First watch: THE SEARCHERS (1956), easily one of director John Ford’s best and most gorgeously filmed #westerns, with similar opening and closing shots as bookends. As Civil War veteran Ethan Edwards, John Wayne has atypical depth as a complex character trying.. 1/3 #FilmSky #MovieSky #western
unlabelledView post →"That'll be the day," Ethan Edwards in the 1956 movie "The Searchers,"
unlabelledView post →Even with its deeply uncomfortable racial politics, The Searchers remains one of cinema’s most important Westerns—a film whose artistry and legacy endure, even as its darker themes continue to spark debate.
unlabelledView post →Never seen any film more than THE SEARCHERS; in b&w, cropped to hell, on blurry-vision VHS, on DVD and on Blu-ray. Its multi-layered, multi-faceted Shakespearian combination of tragedy, comedy & blood feud revenge, constantly rewards. And I've never seen it look as utterly gorgeous as this. #FilmSky
unlabelledView post →Teaching History of US Pop Culture next year, so only get a few films. Right now I can't decide between a musical, a Bond film, and The Manchurian Candidate for one of them. Sigh. (others settled: Hazards of Helen, Notorious, Duck Soup, The Searchers, Jaws, Die Hard, Do The Right Thing, The Matrix)
unlabelledView post →When we screened THE SEARCHERS in my college film class, it shook up a lot of people (including me). Definitely a much more layered character for John Wayne than we were used to seeing. The movie is a powerhouse. #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social
unlabelledView post →Recommend a film from the 50s The Searchers (1956)
unlabelledView post →My favourite Jeffrey Hunter fact is he was such a good friend of Roger Moore that one of Roger's kids is named after him. Kinda a shame that a guy who was a reasonable level movie star (and in The Searchers has one timeless classic on his CV) is best remembered for losing out to William Shatner.
unlabelledView post →"Indiscretion" pairs Kira and Dukat to great effect, echoing the classic film "The Searchers". Big reveals with serious implications on broad, macro levels, as well as for the characters. In classic #DS9 fashion, the relaxed, relatable B-plot is just as crisply handled. Score: 3.5/5 #TrekRewatch5
unlabelledView post →Introducing my oldest kid to John Ford's "The Searchers". (I recently rewatched it and thought, "Men who haven't processed their trauma.") It is a truly beautifully shot film. But come on... this is John Ford.
unlabelledView post →I'm going to become one of those accounts that ask important probing questions like: Can you name a John Wayne movie that you like other than True Grit or The Searchers?
unlabelledView post →There aren't many people around me who can talk about John Wayne these days. It's sad. For entertainment films, there's "Big Jake" and "Rio Bravo." For serious human dramas, there's "The Shootist" and "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance." My favorite movie of his is "The Searchers."
