Westerns.

[Chevy235]

RDR? I thought the dialogue in that game was painfully bad.

All the typical westerns are good...the Leone ones, etc. etc. Even "Duck you Sucker." Unforgiven was awesome.

The Magnificent Seven, although it was based off of that Kurosawa flick so it wasn't really original. I still need to see those.

I LOVE me some westerns! I even tried to start a user group but it failed like so many others.

My faveroite is Once upon a time in the west, Serigo's last western and it's a good one. Also Death rides a horse is a public domain film and is great!

I'm pretty sure I joined your group ya'know!

*checks*

Yep, I did!

I'm just starting to get into them as well. TS, avoid John Wayne. John Wayne is like Clint Eastwood for those who aren't manly enough for Clint's awesomeness.

I love Westerns, especially the "Man with No Name" trilogy. In fact "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" is one of my favourite movies of all time. This is possibly one of my favourite scenes from a film ever.


Honestly "Once Upon a Time in the West" was a movie I really didn't enjoy all that much. It had it's moments but honestly for me it was way too slow. It takes 40 or 50 minutes before you really have a good idea what the motivation is or what the movie is really about, and once I worked it out I didn't really care all that much anymore. It's shame seeing as there were some great performances.

Unforgiven - The purest distillation of all the great Westerns that came before it

 

[MikailCaboose]

Well, I like the Clint Eastwood movies. But other than that, I don't really watch many of them.

I really enjoyed Seraphim Falls.

It chucks you in the deep end, and refuses to give you context for what's happening or who you should be sympathising with for the majority of the film.

I would rather be confused than bored.

Good choice sir! I checked that out on a whim because it was on BBC iPlayer, and I was pleasantly surprised. Further proof that Liam Neeson can do no wrong.

I especially liked the hallucination type sequence with the lady on the caraven in the desert. It's a shame it's not more well known.

Funny, that's exactly the reason I fell for it. The build up kept me guessing for a fair while (maybe I'm just stupid though) and kept me interested in the film. Add to that the great acting, cinematography and music, and you have one of my all time favourite films. But to each his own as they say

I gotta say one thing about that movie though. Claudia Cardinale. Just wow!

 

[The Night Shade]

I like mostly westerns with Clint Eastwood,Fist full of dollars,For a few dollars more and The good the bad and the ugly are my favorites they are basicaly a trilogy.

Love me some westerns. The Magnificent Seven is a classic. The Sergio Leone westerns are still great, for sure; some of the other Spaghetti westerns, mostly forgotten now, were great too, like A Pistol for Ringo and Django. Many of the older westerns haven't aged as well for the most part, but there are some that are still amazing, like Warlock with Anthony Quinn and Henry Fonda.

Far as modern Westerns go, The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford is amazing. Also Silverado, Unforgiven, Open Range, Appaloosa, The Missing, Wyatt Earp, Ned Kelly... all entertaining. Even the cheese: Young Guns 1 & 2, The Quick and the Dead (ludicrous, but fun), Maverick... Tombstone (sort of a terrible movie, actually, except it has Val Kilmer as the best Doc Holliday ever put on film). But I have a special place in my heart for Dead Man with Johnny Depp, The Proposition with Guy Pearce, and Ang Lee's Ride With the Devil.

Woah, there's a wealth of films there that I've never even heard of, thanks for that they should keep me going for a while

Open Range! How could I forget? Costner and Duvall = awesome.

 

[Wadders]

Double post, sorry

 

[captaincabbage]

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is a brilliant movie.

Also The Proposition is epic.

You can never go past any of Clint Eastwood's films tho. Some of my favs are The Outlaw Josey Wales and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

I do really like Liam Neeson. The logical part of me knows that Taken wasn't a great film, but I enjoyed the heck out of it...entirely based on his performance.

The last scene of Seraphim Falls was interesting.

Spoiler

The proprietor that they dealt with, was called Louise C. Fair(probably meant to sound like "Lucifer"), the scene has a cool deal with the devil vibe. I'm pretty sure that they have both taken a bullet at this point, so maybe they are already dead...who knows?

I don't think the film did well, which is a damn shame, I would like more films that buck Hollywood convention whilst not sacrificing watchability, like this did.

edit - Screwed up the quoting...

mmhmmm... Not only is the chick hot, but the movie was pretty entertaining too.

I also like fievel goes west. Unfortunately I havn't seen much else in the way of westerns.

 

[SomeBritishDude]

I will definitely give the movie that.

That scene where she's in the bath...Damn...

 

[Brisingr]

I love the Western Genre. I haven't seen too many western films but I do love to reading them.

Although, not technically a movie. You should check out the Lonesome Dove mini-series. Great series based off an amazing book.
