Halleluja For Django is the last one I watched. Not exactly the best SW I have seen, but it was ok, not more.
Precisely, amigo! Glad to know you are enjoying it!
BLIND JUSTICE was the last Western I watched. I had never seen the entire film before and I found it to be very enjoyable with a lot of Spaghetti Western elements sprinkled into the story. The movie could have been better in some respects (especially the music, and perhaps a little too much dialogue here and there) ; but, I found it to be pretty damn good, as it is.
Assante made a great SW-style anti-hero and it would have been cool if he had made some more Westerns back in those days. Donât know how he is looking these daysâŚ
The locations for this HBO movie are all within an hour and a half drive from my home-here in ArizonaâOld Tucson, Mescal, and various points in between. So, it was fun spotting places I have been to while watching the movie.
I like doing the same thing with Spaghetti Westerns that were shot in Almeria. Since I have visted Almeria, I enjoy the movie a lot more if I can spot locations I have visited! It somehow makes it a more personal experience.
Watched Django Ich will ihn tot (Lo Voglio Morto). Pretty well made and executed, but the movie bored me. Not too much action going on, nor were there too many memorable scenes. Nicely presented by Koch Media though.
Jesse Jamesâ Women
A dreadful 1950âs B western with Red Barry.
Itâs one redeeming feature was an excellent chick fight involving Peggy Castle in her pre alcoholic days.
Donât ask me why I watch this nonsense. I probably need therapy.
That sounds good! Iâd watch it for thatâŚ
âDuell vor Sonnenuntergangâ (Duel at sundown)
-
not very original movie starring Mario Girotti (who became Terence Hill after this particular flic)
-
Girottiâs part is small, he appears only at the beginning and the end of the movie
-
this one is unintentionally funny in parts, what makes it somewhat entertaining (especially, if you know the German actors, Peter van Eyck and Wolfgang Kieling from other movies)
Rio Conchos and Gold of the Seven Saints, 2 pretty tough westerns by Gordon Douglas.
Both are astonishingly good and are marking the highpoints of Douglasâ career. Gordon Douglas made mostly routine films, but had a good time in the 60s.
Once upon a time in the west
FOR $1,000 PER DAYâFirst viewing. I found this mostly boringâŚbut it has a couple of interesting moments.
15 SCAFFOLDS FOR A KILLER (aka, THE DIRTY FIFTEEN)âThird or fourth rewatchingâŚand it gets better each time!
The Missing with Tommy Lee Jones and Cate Blanchett.
A pretty decent movie version of an excellent book by Thomas Eidson.
Has anybody seen âSeraphim fallsâ yet, iâm thinking of going to see it in the cinema.
Missed that one. It was in and out of the theaters in a flash here in Phoenix. Sorry. I heard it wasnât bad.
Salvi: 3 Bullets for Ringo[url]http://www.spaghetti-western.net/index.php/3_colpi_di_Winchester_per_Ringo[/url] (dvd-r)
-Film starts promising with Ringo losing his eyesight. After his mother has been killed he regains his sight but still pretends to be blind. Good idea but then they fail to get much out of the promising plot. In the end I lost my interest and got bored. Gordon Mitchell was great as usual anyway.
Yes. I like it OK. It isnât GREATâŚbut, I thought it was well done. A lot of folks hate the ending (which I will not spoil for you!). I thought it was OK. I would have rather it had a different one, but it works as it is.
I had to wait to catch it on DVD. If it ever palyed in the theatres in Sierra Vista, AZâit came and went super fast!
I agree with Chris_Casey. A decent film, very well acted, but the ending is a bit off. But overall a good movie.
âThe Outcastâ
-John Derick
A young cowboy returns home after several years and tries to reclaim his late fathers ranch, that was stolen by his uncle.
Average western adventure. Nothing great nor awful justâŚaverage
Watched Django again this afternoon. Still great after all these years!
That town is the darkest, most depressing town scene in any western I can remember. A real Dickenâs Bleak House.

Agreed, 5 stars for scenery on that one. You felt miserable just looking at the cold, muddy shit he was dragging that coffin throughâŚ
Vera Cruz(1954) burt lancaster and gary cooper in a surprisingly spaghetti like film( plot wise).but only average. Totally agee with the opinoins on seraphim falls the surreal ending is totally out of place, but up to that point a good movie.
