McCabe and Mrs. Miller
A short time ago, this beautiful story was again introduced to the public and nowadays is considered a revisionist Western. It is now considered one of the top 10 best Western films of all time. It is even part of the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress, which says it is: “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.”
True Grit
This production is proof that Westerns can earn big money. With an estimated budget just under $1 million, True Grit went on gross well over $30 million. That means that this film brought 30 times more than investors spent on the production.
