Just re watched Sonny and Jed today in a nice 2.35 print sourced from an old Japanese laser disc in english with no subs, and enjoyed as I was in the mood for something a little offbeat.
Iāve never actually had the chance to see Sonny & Jed. But with Milian and Susan George in it I know it would be right up my street. One day.
Whadāya know? Santa brought me the very same print of this and itās to be watched very soon. ;D Cheers!
Frontier Marshal (1941) by Alan Dwan, with Randy Scott miscasted as Wyatt Earp.
Also a 3rd look at Matalo! and El puro.
Tombstone, last night after work. Got it for Xmas ;D
Iām comingā¦the lawās comingā¦and HELLās COMING WITH ME !!! Great lineā¦now Iām just waiting for a chance to use it myself in real life 
How niceā¦Sir!
100 Rifles has just been viewed.
Plenty of bloody action in this one, so it goes along at a fairly good pace and it is a simple kind of story anyway.
Stars work well together and interesting Burt Reynolds character has āJoeā in his name again.
Saw the italian remaster of No Room To Die today. Very nice.
I saw a documentary about Pierre Brice yesterday on german TV (arte). THE winnetou. Great thing. Arte knows how to make documentariesā¦ Loveāem. Almost a westernā¦ ;D
Just finished āThe Valley of Gwangiā. Probably a good film for the money-maggots, but as a man of the cloth I havnāt spawned any (that I know of). Not disappointed with the special effects by Harryhausen (you know what to expect with these), but all a bit ā¦TURN AWAY NOW S.D. ā¦
cheesy and not very cowboy-y really. Beautifully shot, some good acting and a āFistfulā type mexi-lad ā¦ but other than this not very spaghetti-ish, which is no real big surprise. The soundtrack supported the āAmericanā feel for this movie.
O.K.
Hey, welcome to the board, amigo. Always nice to see a new Dane joining 
Just finished viewing the last one of the evening tonightā¦BROTHER OUTLAW.
Short and sweet film with enough Spaghetti action in to please most die hard fans, and it is my first Spaghetti I have seen Tony Kendall in.
Texas Rangers during the holidays. I didnāt watch it entirely, missed the beginning and some other scenes as I wasnāt paying that much attention to it but it looked quite fun and entertaining film. Nice action scenes and Rachael Leigh Cook was stunning!
EL DORADO (Howard Hawks, 1966)
I always thought this one is better paced and better cast than Rio Bravo, but I saw that film for the last time some fifteen years ago, so Iād better check that one out too before jumping to definite conclusions.
Anyway, El Dorado is a joy to watch. The comedy scenes donāt always work, but Hawksās humour is usually less silly than Fordās (even Fordās best movies are often hampered by silly jokes) and thereās plenty of action. I never was a fan of Hawks, but Iām beginning to like his films more and more.
The Duke is slightly over his peak here, but Mitchum, Caan and Christopher George (as a hired gun who is both mean and chivalrous) turn in first-rate performances.

Sadly but true. Fordās humour, oh my god.
EXECUTION has just been viewed.
I quite enjoyed this one, and also enjoyed Hate for Hate by the same director which I also viewed recently.
Some tough torture style scenes, interesting story and some good Spaghetti action towards the end of the film.

Itās also more violent and grittier than Rio Bravo and I think thatās the reason why it appeals to us spaghetti fans.
Vera Cruz.
Great action-filled movie. I can see how it influenced spaghetti westerns, itās quite gritty for a 50s american western.

Indeed it is. This was on Brit-tele a few weeks ago and I saw it for the first time and I remember saying how good I thought it was then. The double crosses and the lust for gold over honour, the final showdown and the mexi-western feel, all show how this film could be an influence on some sw films. Great stuff.
Obviously (refering to another thread), the last western I watched was ā Drummer of Vengeanceā.
Return Of Ringo. I have a list as long as my arm to get through but seem to be stuck on this film at the moment. If i ever got round to doing one of those top 20 lists (or has it gone up to 40 now or something???), itād definitely be in the top 10. Love that theme song too ;D
