Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted March 28, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted March 28, 2012 Would that count as a revisitionist western, do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted March 29, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted March 29, 2012 There's an article about British westerns here:-  http://www.spaghetti-western.net/index.php...tti%22_Westerns  Except none of them are British. Not sure what this article is on about, really.  There are a couple of really good westerns on Saturday that you should set your Sky+ for. Support Your Local Sheriff! is on ITV4 at 1.25pm and Calamity Jane is on ITV3, but irritatingly crosses over in terms of time, and starts at 2.40pm.

Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted March 29, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 29, 2012 I'm really enjoying my Westerns at the minute. As said before, I'm not much of a film person, but I decided to take a look after watching the remake of True Grit and seeing a few things mentioned in Gladstone's film thread. I got these a few months back. Shockingly, I'd never seen any of them in full before.  Clint Eastwood Westerns Triple: Pale Rider / Outlaw Josey Wales / Unforgiven The Spaghetti Western Collection: The Good the Bad and the Ugly / Fist Full of Dollars / For a few Dollars more Westerns Triple: True Grit / Once Upon A Time In The West / Shane The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford The Burrowers  So Far I've watched the Spaghetti Western collection, Once Upon A Time In The West and Unforgiven. All of which I thought were top notch. I'm making my way through slowly but thoroughly enjoying them. Well, apart from 'The Burrowers' which was pants. I'm longing for a good Horror-Western.  Anymore recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted March 29, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted March 29, 2012 You asked me that question a few months ago, Stu  But like I say in the opening post, there really aren't many - if any - good ones. From Dusk Till Dawn might be the closest you get it's not really a western at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted March 29, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 29, 2012 It was more of a request for other good Westerns to check out, not just the Horror types. One day though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted March 29, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted March 29, 2012 Ahh, right. It is ridiculous that no-one has really crossed the two over successfully yet. Some might class High Plains Drifter as one because there are supernatural suggestions to some of the story, but you should watch that anyway as it's brilliant. Â Get this John Wayne collection next:- Â http://www.amazon.co.uk/Westerns-Collectio...f=pd_sim_d_h__1 Â Nice mix of his stuff on there. Â Then this James Stewart one:- Â http://www.amazon.co.uk/James-Stewart-West...8113&sr=1-3 Â Should tide you over nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted March 29, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 29, 2012 Cheers, Gladstone. I'll have a look at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted March 29, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 29, 2012 Love a bit of Clint in "Pale Rider". Here is the trailer for it, with the "Channel 4 News" theme chiming along in the background.. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted March 29, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 29, 2012 my movie-watching over the past year has been shameful, ive really fallen off with my viewing. I went through a big Western stage at one point but i aint seen one in ages, i need to get back on it.  Here's a small-time Western that hasn't been mentioned on here though that blew me away when i saw it...   Bad Company  well worth a look.

It doesn't even really fit with the trailer at all, which makes it all the more odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patiirc Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I'm longing for a good Horror-Western. Anymore recommendations?  West World, would be the immediate response to that, then Future World  Followed by  Grim Prarie Tales (Not seen it in ages)  Ravenous (Guy Pearce)  Cannibal! The Musical (South Park Guys, frontier, possibly not western)   I think there is a Sy-Fy cheapo called The Quick and The Undead as well, but Ive not seen it  Some of the Twilight Zone episodes deal with Cowboy and Horror theme's as wekk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
