Hang Em High is my favorite western, followed by The Assassination of Jesse James by the coward robert ford, Hang Em High tells a really convoluted morality story really well.

I watched Tombstone on a movie night with my friends a few years back on account that it's one of their favorite movies. On the whole there are few settings I like less than the wild west (unless you have demon cultists and Abe Lincoln's ghost) but I liked that movie.

Captain Magic posted:Spaghetti Westerns are a different beast altogether. But anyway if you’ve watched a Western and it seemed off, it’s because it wasn’t doing either of the above. I really dug that Sergio Leone came up with the very clever idea of making his particular Westerns be some of the best movies ever made. More directors should do that! Edit: The threeway stand-off between The Good, The Bad & The Ugly is magnificent, of course, but there's something special about The Man With No Name intervening in the antagonist's bullshit "fair" duel so that Mortimer can fight him on even footing in For a Few Dollars More. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JPnR7C8mZQ Jerusalem fucked around with this message at 12:42 on Sep 26, 2022 |

I know in my heart Good Bad and Ugly is a better movie but I'll die on the hill of A Few Dollars More - It's my favorite spaghetti Western

Once Upon A Time in the West is just Leone full-on doing whatever the gently caress he wants with Charles Bronson and Henry Fonda and it’s awesome. And since I decided we’re talking about Charlie Bronson, everybody go watch Death Hunt, where Lee Marvin tries to hunt down Bronson.

Miss being in Vermont. Miss seeing all those happy cows on rolling green hills, miss seeing all the trees, miss having immediate access to all that good cheese and maple syrup and microbreweries. My real vacation to Massachusetts in November just isn’t going to cut it like it normally would.

Captain Magic posted:Once Upon A Time in the West is just Leone full-on doing whatever the gently caress he wants with Charles Bronson and Henry Fonda and it’s awesome. Love that Henry Fonda's initial reaction was asking Eli Wallach,"Who the gently caress is this Sergio Leone rear end in a top hat?" when asked to be in the film, and Eli Wallach basically told him he would forever regret at least not meeting him.... and Leone immediately sold him on the film by describing the opening scene of the kid being killed culminating in the reveal that the heartless killer and the antagonist of the film is Henry Fonda. Adore that film, even if The Good, The Bad & The Ugly is my favorite, and probably my favorite Western of all time.

Awesome western Absolutely could not describe something to make me buy a copy more quickly Bluedeanie posted:I'm like 94% through a complete Bond Film rewatch, just haven't had the time for both Cyberpunk and Skyfall lately First of all, hope you’re listening to James Bonding because it’s a real treat. SECOND of all to hell with all you Bond haters and nay-sayers. I watched everything a year or two ago and there’s really only a handful of stinkers in 25 films, not bad. At the top for me are Goldeneye, License to Kill (every Bond fan has got a guilty pleasure Bond and this one is mine), Skyfall, Casino of Solace (you gotta watch them back-to-back babeeeeey), Diamonds are Forever, The Man with the Golden Gun, and From Russia with Love. Thunderball loving sucks. In fact, basically all of the ones ending in an army-fight suck. I know Die Another Day gets poo poo on, deservedly so, but I will watch it ten more times before I ever watch Thunderball again, woof. Also idk if this is a known thing but it is remarkable how many times Bond’s understanding of simple machines and real-world physics saves him, often much more dramatically than anything Q branch gives him. See: using an anchor to kill the dude in the boat in QoS, pulling the bad guy’s parachute in Die Another Day, etc.

All I really remember is I'm pretty sure as a kid my dad instilled a deep dislike of all the Roger Moore films. All got a bit Carry On film. I secretly have fond memories of Tomorrow Never Dies which I bet is terrible but it was the first I saw at the cinema on release & also Rupert Murdoch was the baddie and another thing my parents instilled in me was a deep hatred of that tosser.

yea ok posted:i wish timothy dalton was bond for longer I wish I hadn't disliked The Living Daylights so much when I first saw it, it's a really loving good Bond film and showed a lot of promise for where things might go from there, and License to Kill which I loved as a kid I now don't enjoy as much as TLD. I do love Goldeneye though, even if Pierce Brosnan's Bond slowly morphed into Roger Moore by the time of Die Another Day he started incredibly strongly. Casino Royale and Skyfall are loving superb Bond films though, I love them both so much. I cannot understand how largely the same team that made Skyfall made Spectre though

I never really got into the Bond movies. Spy stuff doesn't usually do it for me. I remember one time I rented all three Bourne movies (there were three at the time lol) and I watched them back to back and my goodness they are really all just the same movie. Meanwhile I can watch the John Wick movies back to back and I feel like they are all the same movie but it doesn't give me the same feeling. I think it's because the Borne movies were edited very similar and I'm pretty sure some beats were at the exact same time.
