The last western i watched was REVEREND COLT
Paid in Blood was viewed.
The story in this one is not that good, and the film for me belongs in the so bad its good category.
In memory of Sydney Pollock, who passed away day before yesterday, I watched Jeremiah Johnson.
Beautifully shot and a great score. A slow paced but really lovely film. RIP Syd.
Last of the badmen
Pretty impressive hidden gem.
Mario Mattoli: For a Few Dollars Less[url]http://www.spaghetti-western.net/index.php/Per_qualche_dollaro_in_meno[/url] (dvd-r)
-Parody of For a few dollars more. Silly comedy in a way only Italians can make it. Annoying characters, bad jokes etc. Some jokes were pretty funny but there isn’t that many of them.
The Belle Starr Story :-* 
(hubba hubba)
Hate For Hate 
(shoulda been better with that cast)
The Man Who Killed Billy The Kid :’( (I weep for it’s historical inaccuracy)
Kill Or Be Killed 
(Ripped off Sergio Leone, Duccio Tessari AND John Ford)
“The White Buffalo” (1977)
-Charles Bronson, Will Sampson. Jack Warden
Wild Bill Hickok and Chief Crazy Horse hunt a legendary white bison that is haunting their dreams.
A strange mystical western. Out of the ordinary and not for everyone, but I enjoyed it.

The fake Buffalo always brings a smile to my face in this one.

I love this movie and as you stated " strange & mystical".
Hate Thy Neighbour
One Damned Day at Dawn, Django Meets Sartana… about as bad as Death Is Sweet from a Soldier of God, the one I saw before that. I think I’m on a crap roll, lately.
Watched a good quarter of an hour of the fully remasterd 2xDVD S.E. of The Searchers (the DVDs are from the the library), just to see if it’s a good idea to replace my old 1 disc version
Well, I don’t know yet
The SE is said to be sharper and more detailed, and that is true, but colours really look over-saturated and the sound (mono) is actually better on the 1-disc
On the other hand, the image of the SE is free from print damage and dirt, while the 1-disc looks quite dirty and has a white blot in the middle of the image that is pretty annoying once you’ve noticed it
God help us! Here comes the Passatore

Four Candles For A Colt - a bit of a jumbled mess and unbelievably bad overacting by Woods. I put this up as my choice for June’s film but there’s many others better than this that need recommendations.
I’ll start a thread, if there’s not one already, in a bit. (Need to check a few things first.)
In the last week (had a 4 day weekend and a lot of stuff I’d recorded onto DVR):
Red River (John Wayne)
What a genuine classic and a must-see for those who don’t care for classic Hollywood westerns or John Wayne. To see hs character arc from supposed leading man/hero to murderous villain is great!
Crossfire Creek (Tom Selleck TV Movie)
A surprisingly good made for TNT cable movie with Selleck, who is really strong in western roles, and a surprisingly strong villain turn by Mark Harmon. Directed by Simon Wincer (Lonesome Dove, Quigley Down Under).
Last Stand at Saber River (Tom Selleck TV Movie)
Based on a novel by Elmore Leonard. This one was ok, but nothing overly special, although brothers David and Keith Carradine brought to mind memories of the superior “Long Riders.”
The Stranger Returns (Tony Anthony)
Fun sequel to the original.
Man in the Wilderness (Richard Harris)
MGM’s budget double DVD also features “The Deadly Trackers” with Harris and the always dependable Rod Taylor. Excellent western-era wilderness survival tale with great cinematography and an outstanding performance by Harris.
Streets of Laredo (James Garner TV Mini-Series)
Not as good as Lonesome Dove, but still better than the rest of the TV adaptations of one of Larry McMurtry’s most violent books. There’s really a great SW vibe running through this one with its revisionist ‘dirty’ western look and its anti-hero lead, expertly played by an aging James Garner.

Nice variety of films.
Wayne is great in Red River (although I like neither him or his character). John Ford is reputed to have said after seeing this Hawks’ film: “I didn’t know the big son-of-a-bitch could act.” In 1948 he also did Fort Apache & Three Godfathers. Whatever one wants to say about the guy, he could act. At least until he became a caricature of himself.
I get a kick out of Tony Anthony. Such a “wise-guy”.
Haven’t seen Streets Of Laredo, I’ll have to check it out. I like your description.

Another interesting title.
I’ll look forward to reading your thread.
Whatever happened to this one Rev…you are just a little tease…

Kinski again steals the show, his character Dan Hogan is one of his better SW villains. It’s actually one of my favs despite the story not being all that great, oh and there’s that awful english dubbing too.
