So who loves westerns
my first blu purchse was unforgiven closely followed by wyatt Earp on blu,so I have to say Ive always loved westerns but you guys have got me waaaay carried awaaay.
310 to yuma was not too bad.wild bunch on blu...which blu me away.
and now I find Im buying
Sam Peckinpah's Legendary Westerns Collection (The Wild Bunch / Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid / Ride the High Country / The Ballad of Cable Hogue)
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly [Blu-ray]
Once Upon a Time in the West
Appaloosa [Blu-ray]
I have had open range for a few years (cant wait for that to come out on blu along with tombstone
Gettysburg / Gods and Generals.
watched Gods a few years back but only watched Gettysburg for the first time last night.
it must have been tragic for all those concerned
so what others do I NEED

Re: So who loves westerns

Re: So who loves westerns
I grew up on those great Sergio Leone westerns my dad loved them and allowed us to stop up late to watch them on TV but I also used to love some of the (some would say cheesy) westerns of the 50's do check out if you can find any on DVD, classic Audey Murphy just great great stuff.

Re: So who loves westerns
A small hand full of my favourite films are Western's (Johnny Guitar, Once Upon a Time..., The Searchers) but I have to admit that the Western is among my less favourite genres.

Re: So who loves westerns
Ullzana's Raid (get the USA copy as the UK version has nearly all the horse stunts cut, badly)
Soldier Blue (Last I checked my German issue was uncut only, may have changed now , you need it uncut)
Chato's Land (again got the R1 versions as it was uncut)
Red Sun
Breakheart Pass
The above three are all Charles Bronson westerns and very good.
Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid (1973)
Bad Company (1972)
None of these are spaghetti westerns , a bit more of the gritty type that came out in the USA around the 70's, some of them are very violent, but they are all good.
Would White Buffalo count as a western?

Re: So who loves westerns

Me too.
I realised what they meant by pornography of violence and exploitation.
Just about the sickest film I've ever seen.
