Good pull-- no shit that is an entertaining movie.
Kind of cheesy, and western ‘purists’ will squint and say …‘the fuck?’ but I always liked ‘My Name Is Nobody’. John Wayne westerns never did much for me either- I’m also one of those guys that think the Beatles suck balls, so there you have it.
Outlaw Josey Wales and High Plains Drifter-- great Sunday afternoon movies when football season is over.
These old spaghetti westerns are the best. Have enjoyed them since I was a kid & whenever I come accross
them now I’m glued in my chair for hours.
You guys need to check out the comedy spaghetti westerns!
All movies with Terence Hill & Bud Spencer. Very cool indeed!
Yesterday for the first time I watched, They Call Me Trinity.
Today will watch, They Still Call Me Trinity.
The Eastwood spaghetti’s are classic. I wish though that Steve Reeves would have taken the role!
But Clint did a great job, so it’s all good.

4.Pale rider

Unforgiven by Clint Eastwood is one of the greatest movies I’ve ever seen. and if you like Magnificent Seven and like to read while you watch a movie, Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai was the Japanese film that inspired the American Western. Actually, Seven Samurai and a slew of other Samurai films from Japan were all “Westerns” in a sense; alot of Japanese film makers idolized guys like John Ford and made their films in very similar styles and story lines similar to American directors. I’d definately recommend Seven Samurai as well as Yojimbo (which inspired Leone’s A Fistfull of Dollars) and Sword of Doom.
Oh yeah, and Robert Altman’s McCabe & Mrs. Miller fuckin is a brilliant fuckin movie.[/quote]
I’ve got nothing to add that hasn’t already been said, but a buddy of mine has a few original stills and the original poster from Seven Samurai. Apparently they’re worth some pretty serious dough. It’s his favorite movie, and he says he watches it at least once a month. Just for reference, the movie’s damn near 4 hours long.

The Carradines and the Keaches, together in the same movie! This is my final argument!
Seriously though, if you haven’t seen Once Upon a Time in the West, make sure you get the full, uncut version(about 3 hrs long). The original release in the states was edited, and a decent amount was cut, which made it rate low with the critics. With the missing stuff, the movie didn’t flow right, and was a little confusing. Henry Fonda as the bad guy(first time he played that type of role), Jason Robards, Charles Bronson. Amazing movie.

I watched Seventh Samurai for the first time in high school and it is nothing short of excellent. I’ve always hoped someone with the talent would remake it (and do it justice).[/quote]
Seven Samurai has been remade a few times, already mentioned Magnificent Seven, Samurai 7 - an anime series, and Disney remade a version of it, A Bug’s Life.
