Does Ravenous count as a western? I love me some Proposition and Ravenous. Edit: Ooh, what about Seraphim Falls?

I'm sure dunc 2 is fine but if you have to die watching a Dune you gotta go with the proper weird ones or your soul won't get the juice to ascendDeimosRising posted:the movie literally bored a dude to death, that's a wild advertisement Imagine dying to any PG 13 movie! Putting it in my will that my hospice must be playing Hunger Games nonstop X-Ray Pecs posted:Once Upon a Time in the West by Sergio Leone. One of the central elements is a train being built, symbolizing civilization coming, therefore bringing the death of the Old West. Great choice but missed opportunity to use Harmonica's tune for the diegetic competition

I gotta say, I haven't seen a film with such an unsatisfying ending in a long time. I started my journey into Westens with Red River because it sounded really interesting. And it was. Then it made a joke out of all the intensity and emotion it built up. Someone chickened out.

How is the circa 2000 Dune miniseries? I'm guessing it looks pretty cheap.

The green screens are pretty harsh and there's more than a fair share of overacting (I'm looking at you Stilgar), but I've always enjoyed it, and it's probably the only time we'll see both Messiah and Children. It's also all on YouTube

You need to use green screens to key in the matte paintings unless you’re doing a wideshot with a matte background and the live action is a tiny plate or something

I still really like Red River, and my favorite part is how many times they basically say “no homo.”

If you want a Western that doesn't pull any punches, check out The Great Silence. You will not come away from that movie saying that they chickened out, that's for sure.

If everyone is dubbed in Italian it's the good version if everyone is dubbed in English it might be the wrong one. I think.

I don't wanna jump straight into Spaghetti Westerns or what seems to be called "Revisionist Westerns." Because, just looking at the wiki for Great Silence, it says the film is lauded for the "subversion of several conventions of the Western film genre." What conventions? Seems like I should start with a conventional Western before going to the opposite, you know? It's like folks who say Evangelion was remarkable for being a robot show with great characters and deeper themes. Nobody likes those mecha fans, and I don't wanna be one of them with Western fans, either. Next Western I wanted to watch is Shane.

Yea that makes sense. You could probably stick to the John Ford/John Wayne combo, watch five or six of their collaborations and you'd have a pretty solid idea of what the established Western conventions were.

Go watch Stagecoach for a very solid classic western that still has some meat on its bones for discussion and some incredible stunt work

Shane’s a great pick, and I also really like The Ox-Bow Incident, Bend of the River, and The Tall T (especially if you’re also a noir fan).

Gaius Marius posted:Go watch Stagecoach for a very solid classic western that still has some meat on its bones for discussion and some incredible stunt work I was thinking of doing that, yeah. Although The Searchers should be saved for last from all I've heard and read, as both the best and the most distinctive. Wayne's character ain't as smiling white meat babyface (pro-wrestling term for generic good guy) in that one. therattle posted:Oh man, I forgot how many times I read Shane when I was a kid. Great book. I didn't know it was a book. I'm a bigger fan of reading than movies so I'll definitely have to check it out.

I was gonna say Rio Bravo before I realized that it was Hawks. Hope I'm not the only one who constantly mixes up Huston and Hawks.

Nyad was such a great movie. "It may look like a solitary sport, but it takes a team" from the end is the quote of the movie. It encapsulates all the personal growth involved
