This seems to be a film that you either love or hate, and I happen to be of the former. Personally, I saw a great script

There are very few "bad Westerns,"to this old feller.
Seriously,how about Harry Dean's line"Not since that dog of mine put his tongue on the butter.".I have seen this epic 12-15 times since 1976.
I love it.I gave it a 10.I want to visit that remote area before I dieI best hurry. -

I can't see how he was ignored (or indeed how the entire movie was) by Oscar in a year when Sly Stallone - good as he was - picked up a nomination for Best Actor. Oh well, I appreciate you, Jack
Prior to
Dances with Wolves
(Kevin Costner, 1990) and
Unforgiven
(Clint Eastwood, 1992) in the early nineties, the Oscars almost uniformly ignored Westerns, which carried a cachet for non-prestige. I actually think that the best Western of 1976 was Eastwood's
The Outlaw Josey Wales
