01
Why this pick
A beautifully weathered frontier elegy with a similarly unhurried rhythm: commerce and modernity encroach on a fragile partnership, while snowbound imagery gives the West a mournful, lived-in feeling.
02
Why this pick
For the morally troubled, lyrical side of The Grey Fox: a spare frontier story where violence carries consequence, the landscape feels elemental, and characters struggle to leave an outlaw past behind.
03
Why this pick
Its tactile period world and elegiac treatment of famous outlaws make the criminal life feel increasingly enclosed by modern forces, matching the bittersweet historical mood of The Grey Fox.
04
Why this pick
A somber, snow-swept Western about reinvention, love, and old wrongdoing catching up with a man. Its austere visual atmosphere and regretful emotional register align especially well with The Grey Fox.

01 / THE STORY
Stagecoach robber Bill Miner is caught and sent to prison for 33 years. He is finally released in 1901. He wanders around, a man out of place in the new century, until he sees one of the first films, ''The Great Train Robbery (1903 film)'', and is inspired to copy it in real life. After a couple unsuccessful attempts, he successfully robs a train and hides from the law in a mining town in British Columbia, becoming a respectable resident. There, he meets and falls in love with early feminist and photographer Katherine Flynn. He considers settling down with her, but one last robbery proves to be his downfall. True to his nickname, the Grey Fox escapes from prison as the ending credits start.
