That’s the long version which I have in italian and in german.
Romaine, you could have got it from me for nothing. It’s on the excel list I have mailed you.
Not me - but I noticed the “customers who bought this product also purchased” … this …

So what’s it like Romaine ;)?
At probably only 15 cents a minute - it seems reasonable ;D.

Well, I did not even think about it.
In looking at your list I got fixated on the titles that were in English and probably ignored the non-English ones. My loss. At least I got a picture of Claudia Cardinale’s cleavage. $15/breast. Woulda been worth it if they were real.
Hey, sorry I have been so sluggish in getting through your list. My home PC is down and out and I have not had a chance to update my list for you while at work. I thank you for your continued patience.
If I get any kind of work bonus around Christmas time (a dubious possibility) I am going to get a new PC for home.

Hahaaaaa! You DEVIL!!! You got me! I DID buy that! Since I have been recently watching the Winnetou films, I have caught on to another genre of films produced in Germany at the same time as the Karl May adaptations. They are crime films (and very borderline horror) based on the writings of English pulp novelist Edgar Wallace. I have read that in Germany they are referred to as “krimis”. I bought a several to see what they are like. I have a couple by some of the same directors of the May films (Alfred Voherer & Harald Reinl). They are actually really kind of fun and interesting. I have not watched the College Girl Murders yet but I did see two of these films: The Sinister Monk & The Indian Scarf. They are quite fun. CGM is in color but the better ones seem to be in B&W.
These films are really pretty mild and very convoluted in terms of plot & character.
Can’t get anything past you Rev!
Fuck, you are damn right. It’s always an advantage to get the original DVD.
Thought you lovers of this film better take a gander at this. Extreme to us fans saying the least. It’s an IMDB comment.
This is one of the slowest and difficult-to-understand movies I have ever watched. Characters are not explained and sequences seem out of place. The first 20 minutes consists mainly of facial close-ups and thousand-yard stares.
As I watched this movie on TCM I noted other reviewers saying the film appeared dubbed. This is true on the TCM version as well. And some of the audio (McBain speaking) is absolutely intelligible.
Dialog is childish.
Slow.
No storyline.
Spagetti Western junk.
As far as reviews go I’ve seen worse on imdb. There is a negative imdb review of the Big Gundown that has to be read to be believed.
Lets face it, SW’s, even the good ones will always be stigmatized by ignorant fans.
(Gosh I sound a bit like SD here LOL)

The best way I can describe this movie to those who find it flawed is this. It is the Godfather of sw’s. While some younger viewers would rather watch Scarface or other Gangster movies with more action, you can not deny it’s brilliance. Godfather is slow starting & slow moving but you never hear negative reviews about it. Building tension, to me, is one of the classic aspects of sw’s. Leone is a master at dialogue without speaking. A lot of the scenes tell a story without the actors saying anything. Many of the images in this movie could be captured & hung on the wall as art. Of course it’s over the top even by sw standards. Get over it! Even if you don’t have almost 3 hours to dedicate to this movie, that’s OK too. You can watch individual scenes & enjoy them on their own. I might pick a few other sw’s to watch before this having the choice, but it’s unique brilliance can not be denied.

Oh, I have read several bad reviews about The Godfather and OuTW.
[quote=“I…I…Idiot, post:189, topic:322”]Leone is a master at dialogue without speaking.[/quote]I think Leone is at his best with such a scene in Once upon time in America when Noodles is having a cup of coffee while rest of the gang just silently waits for him to say something.
But there are fans, who are not new to SWs, who still can’t see the supposed greatness of this film 
I like both the Dollars trilogy and Duck You Sucker, but this film just doesn’t work for me
Yes, my wife really didn’t like “Once Upon a Time in America” but did like “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” - I don’t think I’ve shown her any others but will have to check.
Although the “Dollars Trilogy” and the “Once Upon a Time” trilogy are clearly all Leone products, there is a very different feel to them. However, “Duck, You Sucker” is a slight exception: in terms of thematic development it fits nicely between “West” and “America” as a history of the development of America; in terms of Leone’s style it might sit more comfortably before “West”.
Lindberg, what do you think of “Once Upon a Time in America” or have you not seen it?
I think I’ve only seen parts of “…America”, it doesn’t have the same distinct style as his westerns does it?
Leone was sure and at home when making westerns, but this gangster theme maybe wasn’t his thing really?
Coppola and Scorcese did this better probably?

I watch this movie about once every couple months. I love listening to the commentary track on the DVD.
I would agree with Lindberg in prefering Coppola and Scorsese to OuTA after rewatching it last year.
It wasn’t a statement, I threw in a little question mark aswell, but maybe you didn’t see it
Well it’s obviously not a Western, but it’s classic Leone all the way.
I’d definitely recommend watching it if you get the chance, but set aside a whole afternoon. It’s really long, with an intermission, and footage for an even longer version is still in some vaults in Italy somewhere…
[quote=“Lindberg, post:198, topic:322”]It wasn’t a statement, I threw in a little question mark aswell, but maybe you didn’t see it[/quote]ok, ok. But you should really watch the film, it’s awesome. I was just thinking that maybe some people don’t appreciate OUTIA that much because Leone is mainly seen as a western director. It would have been interesting if Leone had lived longer and would have been able to make more movies in different genres, for example his war movie about Stalingrad.
