Absolutely, without a doubt, the BEST western ever made! Be weary of the earlier 2000 Artisan/ Hallmark full screen boxed set- Its TRASH! (The master looks like it was taken off of a VHS copy!) This RHI copy is the one to have. It’s remastered and widescreen and it’s great! And again, the best western ever made. With Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Duvall you cant go wrong!

DIsc One has some type of background noise the first 35-37 minutes of the DVD. Have played on several different players but with the same results. We actually own the VHS version and that background noise is not on the same section as on the DVD. It is puzzling!

I'm from Texas originally and a fan of the prairie. In my opinion, this is still the best western on the market. Duval & Jones are endearing and convincing in their roles. Excellent story line and plenty of authenticity to appreciate. It won't flash as much as much of what's being made today, but it's really hard to beat Duval in this kind of role and the dialogue is peerless. A couple of examples: "Well we don't rent pigs and I figure it's better to say it right out front because a man that does like to rent pigs is... he's hard to stop." "Well the first man comes along that can read Latin is welcome to rob us, far as I'm concerned. I'd like a chance t' shoot at a educated man once in my life." Priceless! I STILL recommend it without reservation. If you want further enjoyment, The Return to Lonesome Dove is a decent film (though many actors are different) and Comanche Moon is worth your time. I'll bet a silver dollar Karl Urban and Steve Zahn studied Duval and Jones to play their younger roles and they do an excellent job.Read full review
I love a good western,and this movie fits the bill..I only wish it was longer..It has it all,and comes about as close to realism,as any western to date..the Unforgiven was another movie that is very believable. I also own all seasons ,,all 3 of them,,of Deadwood,now there is a true to life western,with the whores,the language,and killing for sport..nothing comes closer..On my list of the top 5 westerns..1 Deadwood,2 the outlaw Josey Wales,3 Lonesome dove,4 the Missouri Breaks,5 the Unforgiven..a close 5th,the Sacketts..I grew up watching Bonanza,the rifleman,and Matt Dillon ..then got caught up watching all of Clint Eastwood,Spaghetti westerns..not the best quality but better than most of the crap that Hollywood,was producing at the time..If you get a chance to watch Lonesome Dove,Get comfortable kick back,and enjoy..hope this helps,,DSRead full review
Such a good movie, makes other westerns seem lame! Of course, i am a huge Robert Duvall fan & always love him as a cowboy, seems to me to be his best roles. If you have time to spare, definitely watch this western. I'm sure many years from now, people will still like it.
