There are a lot of comedy westerns I despise ("Blazing Saddles," "Destry Rides Again"), but that one is a definite classic. I have a little Hall of Strangeness review in part 19.<BR/><BR/>"Outlaw Josey Wales" is another good western and I've often meant to watch it a second time. You share your love of it with Mad Dog, who usually eschews the genre.FilmWalrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14822833888119348361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250324745932561231.post-11498296089376995792007-09-29T12:52:00.000-05:002007-09-29T12:52:00.000-05:00Hi Walrus...I'm a big fan of the western The Outla...Hi Walrus...I'm a big fan of the western The Outlaw Josey Wales has to be my favourite along with a few others. But if you want to try a western thats a little bit different(I know you've seen El Topo) try My Name Is Nobody...who would have thought a western could be funny??The-Iron-Inspectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00046658355435277292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250324745932561231.post-30634656375575772202007-09-26T17:08:00.000-05:002007-09-26T17:08:00.000-05:00Looking forward to the new Brad Pitt western, espe...Looking forward to the new Brad Pitt western, especially since Pitt (along with Blanchett[!] and DePalma[!]) managed to take home Venice prizes. <BR/><BR/>exactly why,<BR/>It might take me a looong time to get over the Wayne-dislike. I think he contributes to a lot of present day difficulty with our generation getting into the genre. I do think that you are right about the way westerns grow on the viewer and to some extent mere quantity (along with a certain amount of viewer relaxation and cooperation) helped me get into them more.<BR/><BR/>I still like the anamolous ones best.FilmWalrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14822833888119348361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250324745932561231.post-4268116523692661252007-09-24T03:16:00.000-05:002007-09-24T03:16:00.000-05:00You know I like westerns, but you are right about ...You know I like westerns, but you are right about the wheat/chaff issue. I used to think I hated them, too, until I discovered movies-that-didn't-star-John-Wayne. Though I will admit that he and John Ford grew on me once I came at the genre sort of backwards and worked my way back around to them. But most recent westerns have left me pretty cold, so I'm glad to hear you say good things about 3:10 to Yuma.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00176114762806470466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250324745932561231.post-55929441853759240912007-09-23T20:41:00.000-05:002007-09-23T20:41:00.000-05:00The new Western with Brad Pitt is supposed to be e...The new Western with Brad Pitt is supposed to be excellent and may actually have a chance of getting me into the theater.Mad Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10716883645607032782noreply@blogger.com
