I know it's a bit cheesy and over dramatic in sections, but I've seen it at least 10 times and it is, IMO, one of the best westerns ever made.
I miss seeing the IMDb Daily Poll.

People and kids trolling come onto the IMDB and give every film a single star. It's because everyone's opinion is equally weighted that ratings are lowered. Some people have multiple email addresses, thus multiple handles and they vote against films many times.
One might think it would help them work out their issues but it does not do. It actually amplifies their rage and discontent. -

A friend of mine in his mid-30s (same as me), recommended it to me as his favorite western.
Personally, I didn't really like it. It had its "charm" but, ultimately fell short of being a "great" movie because it was too cliche in some parts. And I realize the opening in Turley (I think that was the name of the town) was to establish the characters and develop the relationship between Paden, Emmett and Mal.
But that whole sequence seemed unfinished and almost not necessary. I felt that these guys would've ultimately returned there and dealt with Langston. Or at least he should've had a stake in Silverado, maybe in cahoots with Cobb or something.
Overall, I gave it five stars. Which I usually give to movies that I finish but have no real desire to ever watch again.
