A must-see classic
 
Costner's best film
     
 
 

 

Starring Dustin Hoffman, this sweeping, critically-acclaimed film is a portrait of a man who lived through all the key events in the old west. The film makes a strong statement about our treatment of Native Americans. Both funny and tragic, it's a real masterpiece.
.
      This film provides a strikingly accurate look at life in the west in the mid 1800s. Amazing cinematography, great characters, and a whole new view of Native Americans. The best western of the 90s. One of our all-time favorite westerns  

Santa Fe Trail (1940) ~ VHS ~ Usually ships in 24 hours ~This Ronald Reagan western is offers a sanitized Hollywood version of the western journey; but it's a lot of fun if you are a Reagan fan.

Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid (1969)~ VHS ~ Usually ships in 24 hours ~ Redford and Newman star in this classic film that rejuvenated the American western. An academy award winner for cinematography and a box-office smash.

Buffalo Soldiers (1997) ~ VHS ~ Usually ships in 24 hours ~ Danny Glover stars in this movie about an African-American cavalry troop battling racism and bandits. High adventure; and one of the few films to deal with the African-American experience in the West.

Wagons East (1994) ~ VHS ~ Usually ships in 24 hours ~ Why would we include this John Candy/Richard Lewis comedy? Certainly not because of the critical acclaim--there wasn't any! But if you're a teacher, it might be a fun way to end your Oregon Trail unit. Have the kids point out all the historical goofs in this wagon train movie.
