Scooping almost all the Oscars in 1991, this epic film views the American Indians in a sympathetic light through the story of Lt John Dunbar, who volunteers for frontier duty. He discovers the Sioux tribe, an honourable and proud people living on the Dakota plains. Exquisitely filmed - it's a must.

GERONIMO: AN AMERICAN LEGEND (1993)
Certification12 Our Rating
An authentically bloody chronicle of the last Apache leader as recorded in the memoirs of one of the cavalrymen who hunted him down. The film covers his fight to preserve the lands of his people and the growing admiration and understanding of his white adversaries. It's all enough to make the red earth of the Moab desert curdle with blood and shame. Fine play from Patric, Duvall, Studi and Hackman in this great biopic.

WILD BILL (1995)
Certification15 Our Rating
A fine biopic of one of the Wild West's legends. A period piece in which, via flashback we observe the events that built up his reputation, as compared to the elderly opium addict with failing eyesight that he has become. Various adventurers turn up to kill 'the fastest draw in the west', but could his downfall be caused by a long-lost love? A riveting and authentic portrayal of a brutal but exhilarating time.

WYATT EARP (1994)
Certification12 Our Rating
Quite a cast has gathered for this well shot but overlong western. An ambitious attempt to tell the true story of Wyatt Earp that at least tries to strip away the myth from the man.
