The Last Western You Watched?

A Pistol For Ringo.
Very good movie with nice, interesting plot and good acting. Only Morriocne’s music gave me some mixed feelings this time - some parts were great and some sounded just like some average traditional american western soundtrack.
Btw. Recently polish european cinema channel started to air spaghetti westerns - one each week durning whole September. They already aired John the bastard and A pistol for Ringo. They will broadcast Day of anger (i’ve seen that one), Alive or preferably dead, Return of Ringo and Silver saddle (haven’t seen this ones so can’t wait) in the next weeks. Polish TV used to be pretty useless when it comes to spags so finally something changed :slight_smile:

A great Giuliano Gemma theme they have going there :slight_smile: Alive or Prefarably Dead is a great comedy western, definitely one of the best of its kind. Return Of Ringo is one of my favourite spaghetti westerns and perhaps Gemma’s best. Silver Saddle is a late spaghetti which unfortunately isn’t very good in my opinion, would have been better if they’d chosen California instead, a great late western also featuring Gemma.

Happy viewing :slight_smile:

Thanks :slight_smile: At least once Poland seems to be a great place to be in terms of spaghettis :slight_smile:

Sounds like a good season of films. I wish they would offer something as non mainstream as that in the UK.
Happy viewing amigo! :slight_smile:

Thanks :slight_smile:
This is quite non-mainstream channel, it airs european movies, but not everyone has this channel. I am such a lucky one to have it :slight_smile: Before that polish TV only broadcasted Leone’s movies, The great silence (once), God forgives i don’t (once), Johnny Oro (once) and Guns for San Sebastian. These are the only ones i am aware of [i might have missed something but not much]. I hope it will turn into spaghetti western channel :stuck_out_tongue:

You should write in to the station and compliment them on their selection. A bit of positive feedback can be surprisingly affective.

I’m inteding to. Along with some bad feedback for the shitty articles on their website. Article about spags made me want to bomb the station.

Ha ha. I guess we can’t have everything eh? :wink:

But how can anyone write such a bullshit :frowning: i will translate some fragments: “Europeans were couldn’t make westerns. Majority of spaghetti westerns can be considered one of the worst movies ever made - in the shadows of euro-cowboy’s hats a surprising spectacle of kitsch, bad taste, sex [i wonder where did they get that drom?:P] and violence.” and my ‘fave’ part: "The yankees couldn’t belive their own eyes seeing the monstrous caricatures of their national movie genre reflected not in only in a distorted mirrow but also in a mirror made of pasta. They were terrified watching doings of such spaghetti-aces as Giuseppe Rosati, Rafael Romero Marchent, Mario Caiano, Harald Reinl or Sergio Corbucci. But eurowestern was a plague that couldn’t be defeted. Spaghetti westerns were westerns to a degree, there was more of everything in them. The cowboys were more cowboy-like, the violence was more shameless, colts carried not 6 but 106 bullets, there were more ketchup coming from the wounds and the ladies were more naked. In only one spaghetti western - “Django kill” - directed by spaghetti-director Giulio Questi apart from typical shooting and fist fights there were sexual humiliations, domination [WTF?:P], torture, vamipre bats, crucifiction and outlaw gay-cowboys. ".

Why are they airing SWs when they are writing bad and partly wrong things about SW ? Anyway, nice movies they’re showing. ‘The return of Ringo’ is probably the best of 'em !? ‘Silver saddle’ is alright IMO but AvatarDK you’re right, ‘California’ is much, much better !!!

Yeah it makes you wonder why they are showing them if they hate them that much.
Never mind, just enjoy the movies amigo.

Why ?.. probably to try and piss some people off for whatever reason !

ASSHOLES!¬

I think that may be some other people responsible for those articles or something like that. They also have an article where they claim that giallo is intalian horror in general. Incompetent fools. You can tell that they even didn’t even watch any spags.

These are people who smell their own farts…and ask what vintage!

Oh and another interesting thing - you can easily tell that movie summaries are written by other people because they contain a lot of positive stuff about described spags. Confusing :o

"The yankees couldn't belive their own eyes seeing the monstrous caricatures of their national movie genre reflected not in only in a distorted mirrow but also in a mirror made of pasta."

Hehe, I think this is true, spaghettis were pretty controversial in the beginning, especially in the USA.

Not even Leone were held in high regard, and it was only some years later that his films were considered classics.

Good for you alk0 with so many spaghettis on TV!

Are they dubbed into polish or do they have subtitles?

They have a polish lector.

Looks like if they have just picked up five names randomly.

I watched Bounty Killer and Django kill!. Two really strange western. More in the threads that belong to the films…
