Winchester '73 (1950)

Without a doubt, I would never have even thought to watch this movie without the influence of this project. That's a shame, because it's a really good film. Its a typical Western without being smug, like other Westerns. What I mean is, most Westerns are so proud to be Westerns, they miss telling a good story.

The story here is about a rifle. A very fancy rifle, according to the movie. And it focuses on that rifle as it passes from hand-to-hand (often illegally) and eventually back to its owner. Its a focused film which continues to be interesting.
