Favorite Scenes From A Century Of Cinema - 14

John Ford's The Searchers (1956) is rightfully high on "best film" lists around the world. It is a masterpiece from several perspectives. Many of its scenes are notable, but none is more powerful than its last, a mere seventy seconds of genius.

Old Tybee Ranger: Atlanta, Georgia, United States; I was born in Maryland and spent my first thirty years living there, first in the Appalachian Mountains, then on the Eastern Shore, and later in suburban Washington. After a year in South Carolina, I moved to Georgia in 1977. I soon met another park ranger who worked in Florida. She was a wonderful woman who became my best friend. then my wife, and soon the mother of our three children. I spent over eleven years working in the historic city of Savannah, Georgia, and on the moss-draped sea islands nearby before moving to Atlanta.. In 2007, I retired from the National Park Service and a career dedicated to preserving and interpreting resources and themes in the cultural and natural history of the United States. It was a most rewarding experience. Today, I enjoy living in the rolling hills and woods of the Appalachian Piedmont east of Atlanta.
