The Last Western You Watched?

Yes I like Navajo Joe a lot too!

The music is fantastic and Burt Reynolds is quite good in this film!

A pretty fast paced spaghetti with some exciting camera-work!

And it has the lovely Nicoletta Machiavelli and a typical Corbucci-ending!

[quote=“flynnparadox, post:1180, topic:141”]Watched Navajo Joe last night and was thoroughly entertained (it had been literally fifteen years since I had seen it). It’s not one of Corbucci’s masterpieces by any means but it’s a fun, fast-paced, revenge-based SW. I wish there was an affordable widescreen version around (since the Japanese disc is out-of-print.)

This is one of my fav westerns, other people have other Corbucci favs , but this ranks in one of his best westerns for me.

Also got a mean Aldo Sanbrell in one of his larger spaghetti western roles! And yes, a fantastic score from Morricone and a great performance from Reynolds.

Did she enjoy it or are you facing a Bridget Jones double bill as payment?[/quote]she liked it as expected since she is into photography and there are great scenes. Still wants to show me the “essentials” like dirty dancing. but i´d rather stab my own eyes out!

Ha ha. I love it.

It’s definitly a fun movie. I imagine my opinion of it would rise considerably if I had a widescreen copy of it!

Oh it would !..you will really appreciate the film much better.

Let’s hope MGM comes to their senses and releases a nice version of it sometime in the near future…

“God in Heaven… Arizona on Earth” with peter Lee Lawrence

And how did you like it? It was a pleasant surprise for me, I thought it was really decent movie

I really enjoyed it, a lot of people don’t like Peter Lee Lawrence (or Giuliano Gemma for that matter) because they think he is too pretty for the roles but i have enjoyed the westerns he has been in.

So, is this really a Euro Western (opposed to spaghetti, although it is spaghetti enough for my liking :slight_smile: because i always see that the original title is the Spanish title not the Italian one.

[quote=“ENNIOO, post:1173, topic:141”]Just finished viewing CLUMSY HANDS starring PETER LEE LAWRENCE and directed by RAFAEL ROMERO MARCHENT.

Started with a romance section, then a beating,desert sequence,recovery bit,a teaching section and then into full revenge mode.

I enjoyed the film but it may be to slow for some viewers tastes, but I think it just adds to the build up of the film.

A tough little film in bits with a good performance by PETER LEE LAWRENCE, with some negative elements which I always enjoy.[/quote]

Couldn’t agree with you more, amigo!
CLUMSY HANDS is actually one of my all-time favorites.
It might even sit somewhere in my Top 20.
For some reason, it is one I can pop on the player at any given time and enjoy the heck out of it!

The last Western I watched was THE TALL T (preceeded by SEVEN MEN FROM NOW and RIDE LONESOME).
All tough, terse Western classics. Not Spaghetti Westerns…but, pretty close in a lot of ways.
I just got back from visiting Lone Pine, CA (with Tom Betts) where all of the above Budd Boetticher/Randolph Scott movies were shot and I wanted to try to spot some of the locations from these films that we had seen while out there.

As far as American Westerns are concerned…I don’t think they get much better than the films of Budd Boetticher and Sam Peckinpah. But, that is just my personal opinion.

Spanish/Italian co-produced so definitely a spaghetti. Don’t worry :slight_smile:

I’d agree there Chris, but would add Anthony Mann in there too. I love his westerns.

Saw E Dio disse a Caino aka And God Said to Cain a couple of nights ago. A very nice western with a very relaxed Klaus Kinski in the leading role, but boy is he mad. Nice soundtrack, nice action, nice story. Very recommended.

Actually the German release of this one (Satan der Rache) from EMS contains the Italian soundtrack and German subtitles AND is uncut and has a very nice picture quality. Only problem is that it has been cropped to 1.85:1 from the original 2.35:1. Still worth the money though!

[quote=“Yodlaf Peterson, post:1174, topic:141”]Watched “WHY GO ON KILLING” with Anthony Steffen last night.

Was this his first western?[/quote]

According to Christian Kesslers ‘Willkommen in der Hölle’ (Welcome to Hell) it is apart from Harald Reinls ‘The last Mohican’ !!!

How did you like ‘Perchè uccidi ancora ?’ ???

Yeah, Mann was great, too! I especially like THE NAKED SPUR and MAN FROM LARAMIE. There are others that fit snuggly up against Boetticher and Peckinpah, in my opinion (some of Howard Hawks’ Western work, Robert Aldrich, John Sturges, to name a few). But, I find myself going back and rewatching Boetticher and Peckinpah’s movies over and over and over, again.

What, no one’s going to mention John Ford?! Okay, I will. John Ford. So there. :slight_smile:

But, seriously, all of the guys mentioned so far are good. I especially like Howard Hawks.
