1. I used to love "How the West Was Won" but as I got older I lost my love for it. It doesn't show Native Americans

in a very good light and the whole "Manifest Destiny" thing gets old...I still like a few scenes and the music is great. imo.
Of course this movie was made many years ago before people were generally educated about America's real history so there's that to consider...I'd still watch it if nothing else was streaming that I wanted to watch....
