The Last Western You Watched?

The Saloon
981

I am not a big fan of Terrance Hills movies, but i watched " They still call me trinity" and Django With Franco Nero in italian.

982

Now They call him Sacramento
Comedy western trying to imitate Trinity films, few funny scenes but otherwise it’s mainly just bad.

983

VIVA DJANGO

984

Couldn’t agree more… Definitely one of the worst comedy westerns I’ve seen. Don’t know why Dorado Films figured this was eligible for a dvd-release…

985

The Outsider (Tv western from 2002) - it was too much of a sentimental romance and overall a dull movie

986

Saw Silver Saddle tonight… An alright western but would have been a lot better if Giuliano Gemma didn’t have to drag along that damn kid for most of the movie… Children in spaghetti westerns just don’t quite fit. Wasn’t too happy about the title tune either:

“Child of light, now you use a gun very well, you learned so young, you shot a man they say, after he killed your father, now you ride, Silver Saddle shining so bright, out in the sun, what is your destiny.”

Aaaaarghhh…

987

Johnny Oro - a film that’s halfway between american and spaghetti western. Enjoyable but nothing special, it’s still not the Corbucci we all love

988

I watched Don Siegel’s Duel at Silver Creek, with Audie Murphy and was pleasantly surprised. Noirish plot and dialogue, with some enjoyable characters as well. The slick bad guy Johnny Sombrero is a lot of fun. And Lee Marvin is in there as well. Definitely better than the average 50’s western, and not too long either (80 minutes or so). Recommended stuff.

989

A great Fathers Day:

“Pale Rider”
"Rio Bravo"
2 episodes of “The Wild Wild West”

and the greatest non-western of all time:

“Raiders Of The Lost Ark”

990

“Death Of A Gunfighter” (1969)

In the turn-of-the century Texas town of Cottownwood Springs, marshal Frank Patch is an old-style lawman in a town determined to become modern. When he kills drunken Luke Mills in self-defense, the town leaders decide it’s time for a change. That ask for Patch’s resignation, but he refuses on the basis that the town on hiring him had promised him the job for as long as he wanted it. Afraid for the town’s future and even more afraid of the fact that Marshal Patch knows all the town’s dark secrets, the city fathers decide that old-style violence is the only way to rid themselves of the unwanted lawman.

Good story with some decent action. Not a bad film at all.

991

A day of Jesse James movies for me:

“Jesse James” (1939)-Tyrone Power, Henry Fonda
"The Long Riders" (1980) - The Carradine Bros, The Keach Bros, The Quaid Bros
"American Outlaws" (2001)- Colin Farrel, Scott Caan

992

Which was your favourite?
I haven’t seen ‘American Outlaws’ but ‘The Long Riders’ is excellent I think and probably my favourite Jesse James picture of all time.

993

THE LONG RIDERS is excellent, Walter Hill is one of my favourite American directors.

994

You’re right, Walter Hill is very good. Also, the device of getting real life brothers to play all the historical brothers (James’s, Youngers, Fords etc) sounds like a gimmick but works really well and wound up creating a great cast. (Keach brothers, Carradines, Quaids etc)

995

Watched Long Live Your Death (aka ¡Viva la muerte… tua!) last night. Very enjoyable western with added comic elements. Franco Nero and Eli Wallach make a great pair. Much, much better than anticipated. Been a while since I saw a Nero-western so it was a real treat. Definitely recommended!!

996

“The Long Riders” is probably the best of the three. The Tyrone Powers movie is good, but very romanticized . “American Outlaws” I think is a lot of fun, but I’m discovering that very few people like it.

997

Just finished watching the The Culpepper Cattle Company , which is a nice gritty 1970’s western.

998

Watched On The Third Day Arrived the Crow…

On the paper it sounds fine. William Berger playing this notorius gunslinger The Crow. How COULD it be bad? But it is. Willam Berger turns up around 1 hour into the movie clearly having been hired for a couple of hours to do the movie. So what we get is a bunch of shots: William Berger sitting on his horse making a face that only William Berger can. William Berger walking around looking. William Berger looking through a window, shooting etc. Not once did I see him on screen with any other actor. Clearly his scenes were filmed beforehand or after the other actors did their job. Bloody awful.

Up till now this has to be the worst and most boring spaghetti western I’ve watched. Don’t worry about Demofilo Fidano who actually has made some pretty decent spaghettis that are seldom boring no matter what his reputation is, it’s Gianni Crea you have to beware of.

999

Il grande Silenzio, again. It’s soooo sad. :’( :’( :’( :’( :’(
