10.《搜索者》
約翰·福特的又一杰作。在一次印地安人突襲中，仇恨一切印地安人的退伍老病埃森·愛德華茲（Ethan Edwards）（約翰·韋恩飾）哥嫂被殺，侄女被掠。于是埃森在其兄養子馬丁（有印地安人血緣）的陪伴下，開始了搜找侄女的艱辛歲月。數年間，搜索漸漸變成了別具目的的迷狂的舉動。侄女已成印地安部落一員，他找她只為殺死她。 福特獨具天賦，把個典型的尋仇故事精工細作成關于種族主義和盲目仇恨的深層思考，抓住了一個有著荒謬過去和未卜將來的國家的情緒，影片因之變成了跨越時空意味深遠的現代寓言。 該片使韋恩達到表演巔峰，而出色的視覺效果（最后槍戰一場也是所有西部片中最佳一幕）也成為后輩楷模。要是誰說還有比它更絕的影片，那就看埃森著名的反詰：“等著那天吧！”
The Searchers is a 1956 American Western film directed by John Ford, based on the 1954 novel by Alan Le May, and set during the Texas–Indian Wars.
