I've watched it a half dozen times. Never tire of it. Burl Ives deserves those two statues.

Big Country: Ahead of it's time, not dated, wonderful casting, acting, music, writing, plot. I have watched it over and over. So glad it is on DVD. Great to see it letter boxed. It is up there with High Noon, and Magnificent Seven. Very glad picture was in such good shape. Very few flaws.

I first saw this on a big screen when I was about 11. I was enthralled by the story, the scenery and the musical score, I purchased the soundtrack which is great. I was disappointed that the soundtrack left out the music when the Major's men are riding into Blanco Canyon. I own the movie and have watched it many times. I love Jean Simmons. One of my all time favorite movies.

A classic western. Saw it on Public Television last night after the Texas Tech / Oklahoma game became a rout. My normal bedtime is 9:00 ET, but this movie kept up until 1:00.
