Still debatable. Having read the novel, I find the film to be of lesser quality (plus the scene with the tree stump still comes across as a Big-Lipped Alligator Moment in the movie, whereas it's explained and makes more sense in the novel). As well, when I first saw that "All the Greatest Westerns" pitch on TNT, I figured the "Except Shane" bit meant that Shane WASN'T included in that list because of Adaptation Decay.
A paragraph was cut for being "gushing". I wish it hadn't been, but in any case I think it's worth having around. So here it goes, until someone finds it an example page.
