invisible airwave Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I notice Hang Em High is on HBO Now so I'll be catching that one soon. Even though it's not a western and more of an action movie, I really love Eiger Sanction. http://i61.tinypic.com/2qsrk06.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 http://i.imgur.com/hLsaNql.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Tdn2ZF7.jpgI just watch The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly last night. If it weren't for Tuco, I'd probably like For a Few Dollars More the best.I think actually For a Few Dollars More is the weakest of the three. Don't get me wrong I think it's a great western but the first one just works better for me. TGTBATU is the best of the three, it's a true epic western and the music is even better than the first two.TGTBATU was better simply for the 3 way dynamic... Tuco was great as the dirty scoundrel that wasn't truly evil like Lee. I like "For a Few..." because of the final duel and Clint's involvement (or lack thereof) in it. Plus, I just thought it was cool how Lee rode off into the sunset with no dollars whatsoever. ***Of all the Clint westerns though, Outlaw Josey Wales will always be #1. I'd probably break his westerns down like this:(1) Outlaw Josey Wales(2) The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly(3) Unforgiven I'm not much of a westerns fan actually but Clint's got some good ones.I like High Plains Drifter best.Yeah, that's a good one too that I forgot about. Dig the supernatural vibe!Hang 'em High is a solid Clint western as well. Also Joe Kidd and Two Mules For Sister Sara are good too.Don't think I've seen Joe Kidd. And Two Mules I saw so long ago that I don't remember the story. Hang 'Em High was ok but I prefer the Leone films, High Plains Drifter, Pale Rider, Josey Wales, and Unforgiven much moreJoe Kidd is worth you seeing. it also stars John Saxon, Robert Duvall and Don Stroud. The music is great too from Lalo Schifrin. Here's a quick clip: And some music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I've seen this like 15 times but I end up watching it whenever I see part of it on TV. A lot of it is because of the music- early 70's top 40 music- Hollies, Cat Stevens, etc. I just enjoy it every time I see it. My family runs to the other TV by now.http://i425.photobucket.com/albums/pp338/plantfan40/51XXB53YV8L.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you will really enjoy it; it has a very uplifting message and is based on a real life story.

Ah well, it's all opinion anyway. I saw Malcolm X not long ago and he was excellent in that as well. Movie itself was a bit choppy; I think it helped that I had to read the book, "Autobiography of Malcolm X" for a class years ago. It helped me follow what happened in the end when he turned against the Nation of Islam and the retribution; movie covered that kind of quickly and maybe was a bit confusing.

I too read the book (before and after watching the film) and thought it was highly interesting. Denzel did a stellar depiction of Malcolm X through all those years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yup, I did enjoy it. If I had any complaint it'd be that the tense relations seemed to calm relatively quickly. Still, it's a feel good film without being too sappy or cheesy.Grade: A- ***Took me about half the movie of me racking my brain to figure out that Will Patton's character's cute, little football-loving daughter was the cheerleader from Heroes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
