Which films have you seen lately Vol.22 Now with Smell-O-Vision.

Best Western ever made? Sicario, Denis Villeneuve.

 

[Kyriakos]

I think you brought two scenes too many ^^

 

[Voidwalkin]

The best Western ever made.

It's a loner, engaging in brutalies on a revenge quest against outlaws, in lawless towns and the desert of the American Southwest.

Tell me that plot doesn't sound exactly like a classic Western. Thing is, DV made that classic without any of the hokey formula, beautifully shot and beautifully scored, in a way more impaxtful with modern audiences. The distance he covered, with originality, is so much more difficult, and the film itself managed to be more suspenseful and of higher cinematic quality anyway.

Best Western ever. Accept no substitutes.

 

[Clubber Lang]

^Nah, that movie sucked.

Not even a western man, but fine if you see it that way.

I dont consider any modern era setting tv shows/movies as wild westerns, even if it stars Kevin Costner in a cowboy hat and a big belt buckle.

PFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!
Best Western ever is obviously Paint Your Wagon!

^ haha, i have yet to dare watch it...gonna need a big bottle of whisky! Straight, no mix or chaser.

How all kids (and adults) reactions were when they first must of seen it -

''Here comes Lee Marvin, thank god! He's always drunk and violent'' haha

Sicario is a darn good movie though

 

[Thorgalaeg]

^^ The music so matches CC's beauty and the scene is an epic entrance to Leone's west.

We sluggin it out with our very own duels on here with scenes from 'Once Upon A Time...'' cool just like the 3 way shoot out in Good, Bad, Ugly cemetery!

My shot -

Curiously Sergio Leone´s west was faker than a 2 dollar bill, since all western movies mentioned and this thread (excepting Paint Your Wagon) were entirely filmed in Almeria desert, southeast Spain, among Many others:

[Kyriakos]

That doesn't make it fake; cheaper to film in Spain than have him relocate to the US for shots of desert.

 

[Clubber Lang]

A lot of spaghetti westerns were shot in Almeria and the Tabernas Desert.

 

[Birdjaguar]

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is the best western ever. No exceptions.

 

[lymond]

Wait! Movies are fake?

 

[Clubber Lang]

John Ford shot most his westerns in Monument Valley, so i guess he gets the authenticity box ticked.

-------------------

No ones mentioned Leone's 'Fistfull of Dynamite/Duck You Sucker/Once Upon a Time ... the Revolution' yet, so i will as it's just as great as his others with a score to match.

James Colburn is on the run in Mexico on a motor-bike and bumps in to Rod Steiger and his merry family of bandits.
They want to rob gold big time and use Colburns explosive skills...he's got other plans, big plans.
Hilarity and tragedy ensue.

You can watch it here -

Yew, it's kinda like finding out 'Tatooine' was shot in La Grande Dune, Tunisia and not on another planet.

It's one of the reasons SW sucks ^^

If you think any of the current SW media sucks, you ain't seen nothin' yet.

Election, 1999. Reese Witherspoon and Matthew Broderick. Broderick plays a high school civics teacher whose best friend's career was ruined by sleeping with a student, Reese Witherspoon -- who is smart, ambitious, and into older guys. Resenting her for ruining his BFF's life, and resenting his own attraction to her, Broderick recruits a football himbo to run against Witherspoon in the SGA elections, while simultaneously falling into an affair with his former BFF's wife. Odd film: enjoyable enough, but none of the main characters were sympathetic and I was mostly watching it for the obvious humor of Ferris Bueller being a high school teacher, and the general presence of Reese Witherspoon. Also, I saw a computer in the movie that baffled me: it looked NOTHING like 1990s computers.

Although it's been years, that was an exceptional movie. I'm glad you mentioned it as I'd like to rewatch it. It didn't do well at the box office, but then it was a rather small movie but was critically acclaimed with potential Oscar nods - especially young Reese and the movie itself. It's a black comedy/satire so with those types of movies ya kinda have to just go with the flow even if characters seem unlikable. It's considered one of the best teen movies ever made.

I think the setting is very early nineties so computers could still be a lot older, especially in public institutions.

It was anamoly.. I know it was filmed in a real high school, but most of the computers looked 'normal' for the time (giant beige boxes) whereas this looked like an Atari. Low profile, like a PS4. Black.

Reese/Tracy was so hateable in that, Broderick/Jim was trying to do the world a favour...but boy did it cost him and it was so funny watching his life fall apart.
