''Badlands'' is a 1973 American neo-noir period crime drama film written, produced and directed by Terrence Malick, in his directorial debut.

List Of Western Films
This is a list of notable Western films and TV series, ordered by year and decade of release. For a long-running TV series, the year is its first in production.

Until 1903, films had been one-reelers, usually lasting 10 to 12 minutes, reflecting the amount of film that could be wound onto a standard reel for projection, hence the term. Edwin S.

The most famous work of early movies, '' The Great Train Robbery'' is credited with establishing the movies as a commercial entertainment medium. It was notable for rapid shifts of location, incl ...
