Stagecoach - Movies 1939 - John Ford - Action Western Movies (Western Films)

Watched many times, favorite western, in a class by itself

@18:27 - The single most iconic film introduction and debut of an actor in cinematic history. PERIOD.

There is nothing better than watching a black and white western on a Sunday night before going to bed sipping on some tea

thank YOU ... One of my favorites

This was a superb western film, directed by the great John Ford. Pathos, humour, drama, action and amazing desert landscape, all contributed to this movie deserving an motion picture iconic status. It had a very strong cast, with John Wayne, playing the laconic cowboy and anti hero, Thomas putting in a brilliant performance as the cigar chomping and hard drinking doctor with a heart of gold and the wonderful John Carradine, cast as the gentleman southern gambler. Andy Devine was hilarious as the stage coach driver Buck, together with George Bancroft as the tough and duty minded sheriff, Curley. Claire Trevor playing the sweet natured ‘woman of the night’ character is a perfect foil to John Wayne’s character. The haunting film score brilliantly captured the rugged beauty and danger of the inhospitable and arid landscape.

1939 was the greatest year in the history of cinema. Stagecoach, Gone with the Wind and Wizard of Oz all came out that year and would have a defining influence on filmmakers for generations to come. I’d argue this movie is the most important of the 3 due to Ford and Wayne’s influence.

One of the first, best, greatest Westerns of all time, setting the stage for what an action adventure should be. Ford was a natural born film maker.

Have seen this several times, but am only just now noticing Yakima Canutt in the very beginning. Great stunt man and he was with John Wayne in many of his movies in the 1930s.

I watched the color version last night love both big John Wayne fan

Thank you. Time well spent.

John Ford who made John Wayne a huge star in Hollywood during that time

Dallas and Ringo kid showed respect for each other

All the iterations of this movie were fantastic.

I played the music from 'Stagecoah' and 'Fort Apache' on my car`s CD system when my family and I drove through Monument Valley and Mt.Zion National Park when went cross country from NJ to 'do' the Southwest in dept.

Fabulous little adventure!

I like all 3 STAGECOACH , all go by John Fords direction of the first one with John Wayne as Ringo. 💗🥰

Much better in b &w as it should be

The stuntmen were amazing.
