Once Upon A Time In The West is top notch, plus all the old Clint Eastwood flicks are fun.

:thumbup Not coincidentally, Once Upon a Time in the West, Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly were all directed by Sergio Leone.

:thumbup Yeah, but what kind is that? A hilarious sendup of pre-1980 westerns, a kick in the teeth to racism, or Mel Brooks doing what he loves--getting away with as much as he can possibly get away with?

Cool thread.
Lots of good stuff.

I still like the Good the Bad and the Ugly. The catchy music rings in my mind once in a while.

They hired an excellent composer, Ennio Morricone.

Got any you like?

Just watched Lawman last night, really enjoyed that one and it got surprisingly heavy at the end. Burt Lancaster was great.

I've seen some older John Wayne movies recently; The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, The Cowboys, Cahill, El Dorado aaaand The Spoilers. I've enjoyed his stuff quite a bit. Any John Wayne recommendations?

El Dorado is basically the same plot as Rio Bravo (although Rio Bravo was much better).

I just read Welcome to Hard Times after watching McCabe and Mrs. Miller (not sure how I drew that inference, but happy with the outcome).
 
Paint Your Wagon? Is that the singing Clint one? I think I tried to watch it once.

Exactly. And it was the beginning of a whole string of fucking horrible three hour long Kevin Costner diarrhea festivals.

It is but the thread title is "Pre-1980 westerns" ;)

I think there was a "good" clarifier in there as well.

Can you tell I loathe Dances With Wolves? :twofinger
