Did anyone watch The Three Burials of Melquaides Estrada last night?
I really enjoyed when i watched it.

Does 'No Country For Old Men' count? It's sort of a western.

Otherwise...The Wild Bunch, Shane, For A Few Dollars More, Butch Cassidy etc.

If you like western themes read 'The Collected Works Of Billy The Kid' by Michael Ondaatje. It's really poetic but pretty lurid in places, such as where a man dying of a shotgun wound gets disembowelled by a chicken.

A friend of mine bought this pack of 20 old westerns for 20 dollars at Wal Mart and its too fucking good. I highly recommend this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Name_Is_Shanghai_Joe

the good, the bad, and the ugly ftw
once upon a time in the west
fistful of dollars
for a few dollars more
duck you sucker
^^^^ these are all all sergio leone directed. like watching a violent poem, with brilliant soundtracks by ennio morricone. that song 'ecstasy of gold' when tuco is looking for the grave in good, bad, ugly is epic. i'm gonna watch one of these tonight.

Interesting to note how much other directors have ripped off leone (especially tarantino, who even uses morricone style scores for scenes influeced by leone direction. he actually steps over the homage line, imo, especially annoying since so many of his younger viewers have no idea)


shane (love this film)
the searchers
unforgiven

dunno why, but 'open range' is a guilty persy


Bottom line: if it says Sergio Leone on the tin, jump on it, and hook up your surround system

the good, the bad, and the ugly is one of the best movies EVERRRR.
