I'm generally not a Western fan either, Tim, but this one is my favorite, and I also love HIGH NOON, STAGECOACH,SHANE, and anything with Eastwood. Michael Curtiz's DODGE CITY also holds a special place in my heart.
I watched THE SEARCHERS the other night. A gorgeous disc, and an amazing movie. John Ford may be the most picturesque director of all time. Every frame is perfect. If you haven't already, go out and grab this disc! It's a knockout!
I think it was August 8th or around then, Roger. So, hopefully, your order will be fulfilled within the next day or two. Amazon is SLOWWWW when it comes to filling HD DVD pre-orders!
