Stagecoach

There is something about a classic western, something about the genre.  It may be because they are tied to many good memories as a child.  Laying on the floor with my siblings and cousins, late into a summer night, watching an old black and white western. 

Today is a day of relaxation for me, so I am sitting in the comfort of the living room, watching "Stagecoach", the old John Ford western with John Wayne on TCM (Turner Classic Movies).

Stagecoach was made in 1939, which is astounding when I think about it. When I stop and consider that a movie made over 60 years ago can still resonate in me, that is a pretty amazing thing.
