The western!

Possibly the best spaghetti western outside of the Leone bunch. Sergio Corbucci injects this film full of dread and unpredictable resolutions. The setting is so unique to the spaghetti western climate. It all takes place in a blizzard ravaged mountain village. The snow cover territory adds a touch of surreal beauty.
The ever reliable Klaus Kinski is as intense in the role of the bounty hunter, Loco, as he is with his roles in Herzog films. Jean-Louis Tritignant has to carry his role as the great mercenary known as Silence without ever speaking a single word or cry. Amazing on his part, for he brings alot to the character of Silence. I love how he shoots peoples thumbs off. Great concept. The Great Silence also benifits from having the talents of Ennio Morricone and Bruno Nicholi score the film. The score is perfect. The main theme is so freakin cool. I have to get my filthy paws on a copy of it A.S.A.P!!!
With an ending that left my jaw dropping to the floor, The Great Silence has fast become one of my all time favorite films. Highly recommended!!!!!

Ive never been a John 'fascist' Wayne fan. Hes pretty one dimensional. But in his long list of films, there are a few i like. But True Grit is a great western. With a couple great scenes featuring alot of killer supporting acts like Strother Martin, Dennis Hooper and Robert Duvall. Glenn Cambell was soso. But the character of Rooster Cogburn is great and i actually liked Wayne here.

Fantastic western. Exellent story and great acting. Even on Costners part.

The one that started the whole spaghetti western kick. Fantastic film a true Eastwood and Leone classic. And a cutting edge score by mastreo Ennio Morricone. He invented the spaghetti western sound!

Exellent sequel to Fist. And better. Possibly my favorite Eastwood western. At least tied with The Good The Bad. Lee Van Cleef adds that extra bit of coolness to this classic. And if i recall Klaus Kinski plays the Hunchback Cleef lights his match off of. Classic scene.

Leones gritty classic brings the Dollars trilogy to a glorious end. Exellent performances from a steller cast. And oh what a beautiful score by Morricone. I still get shivers when ever i hear The Extasy of Gold. Possibly my favorite Eastwood western.

great gritty western in the style of Peckinpah and Fuller.

great Eastwood western.

its like Eastwoods swan song to his western carrer. Hackman is brilliant as the ruthless Sheriff. And Eastwood and Freeman are a fantastic team. Watching this film you feel like this is were the character Eastwood played in the dollars trilogy ended up.

Sergio Leones awsome western is one of the greatest films ever. Henry Fonda is a badass and Bronson does one of his best performances ever.

This film shows Willie Nelson can act with the best of them. Great western. Busy is great. Barbarosa!

The Violent Men benifits from a steller cast. Glenn Ford, Barbara Stanwyk, Edward G Robinson and Brain Keith. The story is a pretty typical one but doesnt ever feel old or rehashed. The traps Ford uses to ambush Keith in the mountains is great.

This is a gritty, filthy, ultra violent western set in Austalia. The cinematography is amazing. And the use of yellow is unique. This is one of the best westerns made in the last 30 years. Everything about this film kicks ass. Seriously essential veiwing for the fan of westerns!

Django is a classic. Its the most famous spaghetti western outside of the Leone bunch. Although its not as incredible as Sergio Corbucci's later film The Great Silence, its still a great film. The classic story of the lone man who takes on armies. Its violent and paced well. The story is solid and the score is one of the best. Ive been a fan of the score for some time, so seeing it actually put to the film is a real treat. This is essential veiwing for spaghetti western fans and its the film that made Franco Nero a star. Great stuff!

The chemistry between Harris and Mortensen is one of the better "buddy" chemistries ive seen. They really sink their teeth into their roles and made me believe these guys had some history together. I would love to see these guys work together again!!
Its a familiar story thats been told hundreds of times. But its a reliable one. Two hired guns protect a small town from the ruthless clutches of a powerful rancher. Jeremy Irons plays the ruthless rancher with as much bite as Harris and Mortensen put into their characters. In fact all the performances were right on...including ol' lemon biter Zellweger. Lance Heriksen even shows up almost unrecognizable. Is it me or did he look just like Charles Bronson!?
Appaloosa is a great western with a descent dose of good comedy. There really wasnt anything about the film is could pick apart! The score was good too evoking a spaghetti western esque' main theme.
