The Last Western You Watched?

Now that was a bad one…[/quote]

Which one of the two?

I enjoyed Faccia a Faccia and Blindman last weekend.

Blindman was watched with a beamer. This was first class entertainment!!!

Watched Silver Saddle and must agree with Silence. Kid was not too irritating and I found the film to be an agreeable Gemma romp.

Franco Franchi especially, his stupid facial expressions are not funny at all

Just watched Navajo Joe. I only watched it out of interest in the fact that Burt Reynolds was in it. Not a bad movie at all. In fact I really enjoyed it.

Just watched The Unholy Four aka Chuck Mool…good solid movie, really enjoyed it. I thought the ending was a little unbalanced with the rest of the film, and the theme while catchy didn’t really fit in.

Great job on the double bill on this one, WE!

Viva Zapata!
A truly brilliant movie

Celano: The Cold Killer[url]http://www.spaghetti-western.net/index.php/Uccideva_a_freddo[/url] (dvd-r)
-little bit below average film with strangely unfamiliar cast.

Apocalypse ‘Joe Clifford’ Joe. A fun sw with many nifty kill scenes & a great score (I feel I’ve written that many times before). Anthony Steffan playing an actor, :wink: now that’s ironic.
Featuring our own Phil H.

I liked it. A solid spahetti outing. 7/10

Bazzoni: Blue Gang[url]http://www.spaghetti-western.net/index.php/Blu_gang_vissero_per_sempre_felici_e_ammazzati[/url] (dvd-r)
-spaghetti version of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Different but good sw.

Frank Perry’s Doc, a typically muck-raking early-Seventies revisionist Western.

Stacy Keach is impressive as the title character, Faye Dunaway revels in the role of his prostitute lover, and Wyatt Earp is portrayed (by Harris Yulin) as something of a conniving blowhard.

It’s an odd one, with little action, but the characters kept my attention throughout and I dare say it’s a lot closer to historical fact that My Darling Clementine, say.

Recently watched Doc and have always been fond of this one. Keach got some pretty good roles in the 70’s…just viewed him in The New Centurions

Doc is great. I like Keach. When I was a kid, they aired his Mike Hammer on a German private channel. So I somehow became a fan of him.
He’s also great in Long Riders

[font=arial]Welcome To Hard Times has been viewed.

A ramshackle small town is at the mercy of a killer who destroys the town and kills some folk aswell. The head man (Henry Fonda) of the town does not stand up to the man, but does try to rebuild the town after the man has left. Things go O.K but the man eventually comes back to the town…[/font]

[font=arial]Great role for Fonda who is great to watch as he questions himself and his life in a film that captures how people struggled to survive in the west real well. A young looking Warren Oats co stars in this interesting little film.[/font]

Cjamango[url]http://www.spaghetti-western.net/index.php/Cjamango[/url]: Not bad.

Indeed, an interesting little film, but I found Firekreek, which covers about the same grounds, a more rewarding movie

And it’s also with Fonda, but in that movie, he plays the villain (one year before Once upon a Time in the West, if I’m right).

That explains a little why I have always got a little confused between Welcome To Hard Times and Firecreek. I have Firecreek in my to watch pile, but will give it a few weeks before I view.

Firecreek is very slow, but very atmospheric, and if my memory does not forsake me (its not as loyal as it used to be) the bad guys stay in town the whole time (in Welcome the villain comes and goes); Firecreek also bears some (not too much) resemblance to High Noon. An underrated film if you ask me. The reason probably is that it was made in the (second half of) the sixties, when audiences were used to action-packed westerns.
