Public Enemies

[Excalibur]

Ah yes one of my favorite Clint Eastwood films, the Good bad and the Ugly

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.

[Excalibur]

The original Magnificent Seven, based off of Kurosawa's Seven Samurai was a good western

I haven't seen it since I was about 8 so I don't remember it well. I wanted to watch it recently on DVD, but the one my uncle let me borrow was cracked in half, so I still didn't get to. I would have screencapped it had it been in tact.

I prefer A Few Dollars More over GBU. Mainly because it's fun to see Lee Van Cleef playing a good guy.

I like Pale Rider, but its just really a copy of Shane. One of my favorites of Eastwood's that isn't as populars as others is High Plains Drifter. He's not a bad guy, but damn sure not a good guy.

I use to hate watching westerns, didn't start liking them to till my early 20's.

I forgot High Plains Drifter, I loved that movie. I think it was the first Eastwood western I saw in fact. He had every right to be an anti-hero good guy though, after what the town did to him.
