I personally preffered A Fistful of Dollars to For a Few Dollars More. And preffered Yojimbo which AFOD is based on to any of the Dollars trilogy.

I'm partial to The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

Great story, cinematography, and even dark humor.

Or docking the pay of the heatstroked Chinese guy for napping on the job.

Between that and All in the Family, there's no way these films and shows would be green lit today.

The guy in this picture was also in Honeymoon in Vegas he was the leader of the flying Elvis's.

Incidently, they are going to make a play on the movie HoneyMoon in Vegas my wife told me. I called up my friend Johnny about it if he did not know. He was in that movie. I thought it would be cool if he tried to get the same part in the play. So he can move back here so we can hang out together again.

A non-American "Western" I really love is The Proposition, which takes place in the Australian Outback.

The three favourite John Wayne movies for me are Rio Bravo, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, and The Shootist.
Clint Eastwood are A Fist of Dollars, High Plains Drifter, and Unforgiven.

Other favourites
The Wild Bunch, The Shooting, One-Eyed Jacks, Seven Men From Now, and Little Big Man.

From my boy Elmore Leonard. Hard to believe that the same guy who gave us Ben Wade also gave us Chili Palmer. But such was his genius smile.

A co-worker and I got into a fun but heated argument on who's better John Wayne or Clint Eastwood he is a big fan of John wayne I have always preferred Clint.

John Waynes westerns have always put me to sleep, I find them very boring.


I forgot to include Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid from my earlier list.

I apologize if it has been said. But my favorite hands down is Rio Bravo with Dean Martin and John Wayne. All around great movie and I always loved the final shootout.

I'm watching "The Gunfighter," with Gregory Peck, on the Encore Western Channel. Classic.

High Noon is a top 10 Western for me. I don't think i've seen a quarter as much as the regular contributors to this and the Western TV thread, but i've been watching alot more in the last few months.

One person i've really took to is John Ford, i know a common criticism of him is that his movies are boring, but the cinematography in his films are practically unmatched even today. Watching him film the exact same Desert landscape time after time, is breathtaking. I currently own Stagecoach and My Darling Clementine on Criterion and i'll be the first in line for The Searchers when it's finally released on Criterion; as well as The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance which i watched for the first time just last night.

Out of interest anyone here watched his other Criterion release; Young Mr.Lincoln, and if so is it worth buying?

I love Ford, too. It's obvious that sometimes he made a conscious decision to show an extended long shot without any regard to how that might slow down the action.

It's an off-the-wall connection, but Luchino Visconti's filming of Sicily in Burt Lancaster's "The Leopard" (another Criterion film) reminded me a lot of a Ford film.
