ifall 0 #2 February 10, 2008 No. They are very irritating. And boring. I haven't even watched what you have mentioned with the exception of one. And I fell asleep halway through it. <----needs sleep as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zenister 0 #3 February 10, 2008 hmm High Plains Drifter? Fist full of Dollars? For a Few Dollars More? Pale Rider? not sure how you can enjoy tGBU and not like those.. A Man called Horse has always been a favorite of mine. 3:10 to Yuma was nicely done recently as well.. but tbh I'm not much of a fan of any of the Young Guns movies...____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

kschilk 0 #10 February 10, 2008 Nothing better than "The Magnificent Seven"! "McClintock", "The Sons Of Katie Elder" and "The Cowboys" were good too."T'was ever thus." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Royd 0 #11 February 10, 2008 Admittedly, any movie that follows a certain genre can have a certain cheezyness to it, and there's always room for criticism. I just watched Unforgiven for the umpteenth time, just the other night. I can watch The Outlaw, Josie Wales, anytime. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popsjumper 2 #12 February 10, 2008 Not like Westerns? You're an alien at heart. Jeeeez...cowboys are cool. The only thing I don't like about Westerns, and it applies to other shoot-'em-ups as well, is the never-run-out-of-ammo guns often used. Sheeet. Westerns laid the groundwork for all shoot-'em-ups. Even Star Wars was a Western in a different setting, that's all.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

Even Star Wars was a Western in a different setting, that's all. and all Westerns are actually Samurai movies (the Magnificent Seven being a direct translation of Seven Samurai)...

rapter 0 #23 February 10, 2008 Quick and the dead was a dumb movie, but Sharon Stone looked hot in it, and Leo "no one should ever skydive" DeCrapo did get killed,..... and cried like a little girl, much like he did on his Tandem. "Open Range" is a very good new Western, great shoot out at the end. Only the good die young, so I have found immortality, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
