NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

utgard14 Compelling drama about a man's efforts to keep his family safe and out of the Civil War. It's an anti-war story that was obviously meant to be about the then-current war, Vietnam, as much if not more than the one in the story. The film looks and feels like a western, although it's set in Virginia. Like most westerns from back then, it's a mix of serious drama with action scenes and even some moments of comedy. James Stewart plays the lead and gives an exceptional performance. Fine support from George Kennedy, Paul Fix, Patrick Wayne, Doug McClure, Katharine Ross (in her film debut), Glenn Corbett, and Rosemary Forsyth, who does a great job as Stewart's ballsy daughter. Some riveting emotional scenes and some nice action. Definitely worth a look for Stewart fans or anyone who enjoys films with subtext.

Leofwine_draca SHENANDOAH is an engaging little war movie with a topical twist. It must have hit home for American audiences watching at the outset of the Vietnam War and wondering if they were going to see their sons again. Jimmy Stewart is an excellent choice for the lead role, a mild-mannered farmer who finds himself drawn into the American Civil War despite his best wishes, due to Yankee soldiers trespassing on his land.Andrew V. McLaglen was a good choice for director as he creates a strong and compelling movie. The famous theme tune is worth catching in itself and the casting director has done well to populate the film with the likes of Doug McClure and Patrick Wayne, with Katharine Ross shining in a small star-making turn. There isn't a great deal of action here but the battle and fight scenes that do take place are fine. The ending deserves mention for being particularly poignant.

ToughXArmy Director Andrew McLaglen and Universal starred James Stewart in this fine family film. Co starring are two young Universal contract actresses Katharine Ross and Rosemary Forsyth. Ms. Ross would go on to do John Wayne's Hellfighters and then go onto great acclaim in The Graduate and also Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid with Paul Newman. Also in the cast is handsome Patrick Wayne son of the great John Wayne, along with other reliable stars such as George Kennedy and rugged Glenn Corbett and Doug McClure who provide fine support.Can anyone recall if James Stewart ever gave a bad performance? I surely cannot! Mr. Stewart excels in this film which I thought would have garnered him another Oscar nomination.

Jeff (actionrating.com) See it – This is one of your future all time favorite westerns. Every once in a while, there comes along an action movie that has it all. Excitement, adventure, romance, comedy, a great story, and a great soundtrack. It is even rarer to find all these in a western. Impossible, you say? Well, you've never seen "Shenandoah." This is one of the best movies ever made about the Civil War. I would also venture to say that this is Jimmy Stewart's best western. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll quote it, you'll want to own it. As far as action goes, this is second to none. There are gunfights, train hijackings, prison breaks, and huge sweeping battle scenes. Best of all, this classic is as watchable today as it was when it first came out. Go watch this movie immediately, I'm not even joking. 5 action rating
