It's a great movie, if you can ignore the huge amounts of gun anachronisms
. The duel in the graveyard at the end is one of the best I've ever seen. Great buildup, it seemed so much longer of a wait the first time I watched to now, when I rewatch it. I like GBU much more than the first two Leone westerns, but they were all okay.
One western I'm not particulary fond of is Pale Rider, the movie was somewhat boring until the end, when Preacher finally got his guns and kicked ass.
Unforgiven is my all time favorite western though, as well as one of my favorite movies ever. Great ending. I kind of wish Gran Torino could have ended more like Unforgiven, that would have been more awesome.
Before I saw Unforgiven, my favorite western was True Grit, although now that I watch it at an older age, Kim Darby's suck-ass acting kind of distracts me from enjoying certain scenes. Apparantly John Wayne wasn't too fond of Darby in real life (thought she was stuck up and spoiled), so I guess I'm not the only one...
Oh, BTW oddjob, this discussion is just for the hell of it until someone figures out the holsters.
