Is the Film Room into Westerns?

[GzUp]

If so what are your favorites.

Once upon a time in the west is the shiznet but aslo is the good the bad and the ugly.

The cowboys with John Wayne is aight too.

 

[mr.africa]

grew up on westerns, but mostly on 'spaghetti' westerns
bud spencer and terrence hill were childhood idols of mine.
watched a lot of their western movies growing up!!

sergio leone's once upon a time in a west is an all time fave
the pacing of the movie is slow,but the detail and scenery combined with incredible/interesting characters and good story

over the top everything - camera angles,characters,musical theme for all the main characters,henry fonda as the bad guy!!!

absolutley love the music in this film!!!!

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

I actually haven't ventured into the genre much

 

[Starman]

Yes!

Just rewatched Tombstone recently, and loved it. Saw High Plains Drifter- not the best western I ever saw, but easily the most interesting. The 3:10 to Yuma with Russel Crowe is my favorite- almost perfect, imo.

I've been catching up on these. It's a definite blind spot for me.

Leone's work aside, I've recently watched High Noon, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, The Wild Bunch and Unforgiven

But my all-time favorite is still For A Few Dollars More.....and of course Butch Cassidy, but that's not a traditional western.

 

[kp404]

The man With No Name Trilogy

hang 'Em High

Unforgiven

 

[mr.africa]

talking about once upon a time in the west

DAMN!!
i forgot how evil frank was in that movie.
when the movie reveals the thing he did to harmonica (don't want to spoil for anyone)
i remember shuddering as a youngin watching that - EVIL!!!
THE MUSIC IN THIS FILM IS HEAVENLY TO ME
ENNIO MORRICONE IS ONE OF THE GODS OF FILM MUSIC!!!


SPOILER - THE DUEL

 

[Mr Rager]

Django.

 

[Mr Rager]

But I do want to watch more classic westerns...never really got into them before.

 

[mr.africa]

RECENTLY SAW PAT GARRET AND BILLY THE KID AGAIN
THAT ONE IS ALSO REALLY GOOD!!!
(HAD NO IDEA BOB DYLAN WAS IN IT TILL RECENTLY)

 

[Vandelay]

3:10, Tombstone, Wyatt Earp, Unforgiven, That long ass Jesse James titled movie, there's a bunch...I like the newer ones better than older movies...but Good, Bad, Ugly, F Troop, Rifleman (TV I know),


Love the genre.

 

[Sypress]

Young Guns

 

[HHR]

But I do want to watch more classic westerns...never really got into them before.

Watch the Dollars/Man With No Name trilogy immediately.

 

[jadillac]

TV shows yeah. Movies, nah.

Bonanza is a GOAT show, the Rifleman was great too

 

[mr.africa]

the winnetou movie series was a childhood fave.
my friend and i would get together just to watch that movie series
man, i dolised winnetou.
you know as a kid everything is black and white,no grey areas
winnetou was 'mr. good will triumph over evil'.
dude always prevailed!!
winnetou dying in the final movie was one of the most traumatising events of my childhood.
i never saw it coming!!
ok,i'm exaggerating but i lost a bit of my innocence that day

p.s marie versini in the first movie
i had never seen a more beautiful native american woman in my life at the time!!

and everytime i hear that winnetou melodie, this shyt transport me back to my childhood
