I was powerfully affected by several scenes in LBM, as Arthur Penn had a way about violence that just rocked me to my core. The massacres were horrific, and the humor was perverse. The characters were memorable. It was as if Charles Dickens had written a western. Great movie.
Follow Ups:
I was in Daytona for the motorcycle event the year it came out.Saw it once there and when I got back to Chicago I paid to see it 5 more times in a year. I recently Netflix'd it to see if it was as good as my old brain cells told me it was. Well there were scenes that made me laugh till I almost wet myself and some still made me cry.
That was the first movie I can recall that changed my thinking about the
'Old West'.
Richard Mulligans portrayal of Custer ( in my mind ) was probably the closest of what he was like.
Anyway just got back from 'Iron Man' I loved it, except I think their subs were either turned down or not working.

..predating "Dances With Wolves" by 20 years, that humanized the Native American Indian for me in a most touching Western -- this for one taught in grade school that General Custer was a hero.The Penn clan really have contributed a lot to the art and life of film -- imo.
