who likes Westerns?

[pipeman]

I love em. especially the old, corny, spaghetti westerns. Its hard to think of a more entertaining genre for me.

 

I got "For a Few Dollars More" in the DVD player right now. Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef. A few all time classic scenes, like when Lee Van Cleef strikes a match on the hunchback in the saloon. And the final showdown at the end has to be the best ever. A simple "draw" showdown it was not. You have to watch it a few times to appreciate fully. For a corny over the top spaghetti Western there is a lot going on.

 

Other classic westerns:

 

For A Fistful of Dollars

They call me Trinity

Trinity is Still my name

Silverado

Hombre

The Good the Bad, and the Ugly

 

probably heaps more but I just can't remember them at the moment

 

most modern westerns are crap, but I liked Silverado.

[pipeman]

oh and although it was a comedy Blazing Saddles ranks right up there

[syk613]

Yeah westerns are great,

Butch cassidy and the sundance kid

Missouri Breaks and the magnificent seven

(spellcheck)

to name a few more

[d_amo]

i seen 'blind man' the other week, old b&w spaghetti western, the first one ive seen i think. pretty funny, for a blind cunt he's a good shot.

[Guest Wilderbud]

Yeah I like some westerns - I used to be the indian most of the time as a kid.

 

Westworld is the best western for stoners.

[Rattdogg]

My old man just ripped " Ulzana's Raid" off DVD onto svcd for me, great movie, anyone remember "Soldier Blue " ?

[boulder]

Yup

What was the name of the actress, she was surely in her prime.

[Rattdogg]

Candice Bergen, had to do a search though

[Guest Wilderbud]

Murphys Law chic huh?

 

I used to watch that all the time - she was crap in it but I liked the show.

 

^^ forget all that - bergman != bergen.

Did you like "TombStone", I can watch that movie over and over, great performances by whatshisname and thatotherguy.

 

**editied**

 

It was Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday. Perfect.

heres a taste fo the BEST western ever made.

 

As Wyatt walks up Tyler starts snarling at one of the players:

 

TYLER

You back that Queen again, you

Son of a bitch, I'll blow you

Right out of that chair!

(looks up, sees Wyatt)

Somethin' on your mind?

 

WYATT

Just wanted to let you know

You're sitting in my chair.

 

TYLER

That a fact?

 

WYATT

Yeah. It's a fact.

 

Tyler looks Wyatt over, noting he is unarmed. He stands,

sneering:

 

TYLER

For a man that don't go heeled

You run your mouth kinda reckless.

 

WYATT

Don't need to go heeled to get

The bulge on a dub like you.

 

TYLER

That a fact?

 

WYATT

Yeah. It's a fact.

 

TYLER

Well I'm real scared.

 

 

WYATT

Damn right you're scared. I can

See it in your eyes.

 

Wyatt steps forward suddenly, eyes cold and hard like a shark.

Suddenly realizing he's in way over his head. Tyler shrinks

back reflexively, his hand moving toward his gun. The other

players scatter. Wyatt nods, his voice calm and steady:

 

WYATT

Go ahead. Skin it. Skin that

Smoke wagon and see what happens.

 

TYLER

Listen Mister, I'm getting' tired-

 

Wyatt abruptly SLAPS his face, making his teeth clack

together.

 

WYATT

I'm getting tired of your gas.

Jerk that pistol and go to work.

 

Tyler goes pale, all pretense of courage gone. Wyatt slaps

him again.

 

WYATT

I said throw down, boy.

 

Another slap. Tyler stays frozen, blood dripping down his

chin.

 

WYATT

You gonna do something or just

Stand there and bleed?

 

Tyler's done. Wyatt plucks his gun away, handing it to Joyce.

 

WYATT

No, I didn't think so. Here,

Milt. Keepsake, hang it over the

Bar. All right, youngster. Out

You go...

 

Wyatt takes Tyler by the ear, dragging him across the room

like an unruly child. At the door he gives the ear a twist.

 

WYATT

And don't come back. Ever.

 

Tyler winces. Wyatt shoves him out into the street then turns

to Joyce casually:

 

WYATT

See how easy that was?
