The Last Western You Watched?

God forgives … I don’t !
The new DVD of KSM has the best Quality (on the german market) I’ve seen so far. I always hated the german Comedy Version and I only watched crappy TV or DVD Version of it. Now with a better quality and I like the movie now more. :wink:

Oh my god! I just heard the most hilarious thing while watching Sam Walbash. When Peter Martell, Gordon Mitchell, and Lincoln Tate walk in, They play characters named Peter Martell, Gordon Mitchell, and Lincol Tate. You would think they would have given there characters names but instead they just name the m there real names. And what the fuck is Peter Martell doing there anyway. I thought he had class.

Yesterday I watched “spara gringo spara”. That’s really grat stuff!
The protagonist, is this the flipper-dude?

This is a much noted scene. After all the ridiculous introductions they appear nowhere else in the film.
But at least we have Dino Strano!

Haven’t finished the movie yt but that seen was just too much!

I watched Der Schatz Im Silbersee again last night.
Story & characters? Pretty sorry. The Duke of fucking Glockenshpiel???

Cinematography, action sequences & music? First rate!

The attack on the fort is absolutely great.
Overall, for such a shmaltzy work it has some moments of real brutality.

I did not see this movie until about three years ago. It reminds me of a movie I loved as a kid: MacKenna’s Gold.

What is the english title for that film?

Right now, I’m watching Heads You Die, Tails I Kill You. Fun ass movie. Pretty funny too.

I got the new Budd Boetticher boxed set and watch some of them over the last weekend.

The Tall T
Ride Lonesome
Comanche Station

Also watched the “extra” documentary about Budd: A Man Can Do That

The prints are great and worth waiting for.
The three movies above are all filmed in the Owens Valley, on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada.
In each movie you can see, in the background, Mt Whitney. Mt Whitney is the tallest peak in the “lower” 48 (14,505 ft).
I love this part of California. Death Valley lies about 100 miles to the southwest.
If you are ever in the town of Bishop make sure you stop at Erik Schats’s Bakery. The eastern Sierra is an out-of-the-way place and great for road trips.

It is the Treaure Of Silver Lake.

Korano do you have the Howard Hughes book Once Upon A Time In The Italian West?

What did you think of the tall t? Your favorite movie, Shoot the Living, Pray for the Dead, is modelled after it. :wink:

Don’t have the hughes book but got it frm the library several times. Goo read. Hopefully will get his other book for christmas.

Yes he is, and he is surprisingly good, ain’t he?

That one is on the top of my watch list. Still got to get s copy though.

Hahaa. I did not make a connection between the two. There are a lot of reason to like Boetticher’s westerns (for me). But I like the villians the most I think. So, that said, Richard Boone is excellent in this one. But unlike Shoot The Living, it did lack my favorite loaf of doughy, fleshy villiany: Dino Strano.

ha ha ha ha ha! :smiley:

Doughy!?

I watched quite a few westerns in the last few days:
Blazing Saddles [re-watched it after a long time actually]
Monte Walsh (2003)
Old Shatterhand
Desolation Canyon
The Cowboys

How is this version?
The 1970 version is one of my great favourites, and therefore I never dared to watch this one

I haven’t seen it but it is a made for TV movie and those are not very good movis. Comanche Moon was shit and so are a lot of TV westerns. xcept Deadwood. But this is all my opinion .

My feelings as well.

A made for TV remake. YUK!!! :stuck_out_tongue:

Haven’t seen the original, but this one was pretty good. I think Tom Selleck is an underrated perfomer and he was good in this one. It has got a very melancholic, ‘end of an age’ feeling. Not much of an action, but i found it nice

Och c’mon, it was a good one :wink:
