  • Western?

    Seriously iTunes, in what possible way is this film a western? It's brilliant, certainly, but it sure as hell ain't no western.
  • A Classic adventure.

    One of my favourite classics, with great characters, story, and humour. The adventure rarely lets up, and I love it when they have to find different ways to aquire each key they need in order to rob the train. All play their parts well, but special mention must go to Donald Sutherland- he is just superb in this, and is perfectly cast. Well worth a rental. Sit back and enjoy the ride!
