I was on the subject of movie themes with my son recently and he mentioned that the music from Shane was quite good:

I listened to it, and found it stirring. (You may find it the same.) But I can't quite figure out why. Is it because the music itself is good? Is it because I associate it with the movie itself, which I liked? Is it because it reminds me of my youth, when I first saw the movie?
Or is it because I'm an idiot?
I honestly can't tell.
See if it moves you. If it does, maybe you can figure out why. If not, you can choose option four for me.

Guy --
I can answer for him: yes, possibly, yes because it was so long ago, and yes.
BTW, I have always liked the movie very much. The whole package is very appealing and the are some truly great scenes – like when Wilson guns down Stonewall. Coincidentally, my kids bought me a DVD of the movie for Xmas.

It's a great movie, no question, in my mind one of the four greatest westerns ever.
When I first saw Jack Palance as Wilson, I assumed he was half-American Indian with those cheekbones, and that that was what he was supposed to be in the movie -- a halfbreed like me. But he's actually Ukrainian. The nose was from his boxing career.
