Imma check this out. Last thing I watched a few weeks ago was a commentary on Akira Kurosawas “the hidden fortress” and “Yojimbo”.
NZA
LOL
stalker is worth a watch. the back story on the making of that movie is insane and tragic, all the more reason for more people to watch it and not let these people's efforts be in vain
Nice, I'd forgotten about SYNONYMOUS,l.

Western Noir
A new breed of westerns emerged after World War II, stained by film noir’s anxious, disenchanted mood and enriched by its psychological and moral complexity. Romantic myths of the frontier gave way to tougher tales of ruthless outlaws, corrupt cattle barons, gold-crazed prospectors, mercenary gunfighters, and lonely, damaged men obsessively pursuing vengeance for past wrongs. Essential noir actors found a home on the range: Robert Mitchum brings his cool, world-weary pessimism to Blood on the Moon and Man with the Gun, while Robert Ryan’s tortured tension anchors the gripping Day of the Outlaw. Women, long marginalized in westerns, wielded newfound power, but not without getting their hands dirty; the femmes fatales of western noir include Barbara Stanwyck (The Violent Men), Ida Lupino (Lust for Gold) and Marlene Dietrich (Rancho Notorious). From brooding black-and-white dramas like Station West and I Shot Jesse James to the harrowing, elegiac masterpieces of Anthony Mann, the West’s wide-open spaces prove as haunted and dangerous as any dark city.
Blood on the Moon, Robert Wise, 1948
Station West, Sidney Lanfield, 1948
I Shot Jesse James, Samuel Fuller, 1949
Lust for Gold, S. Sylvan Simon, 1949
The Walking Hills, John Sturges, 1949
