Clint Eastwood Westerns/Westerns in general...

[biomech]

I actually got the chance to watch a western today I had never seen, its with Marlon Brando and Karl Malden called One Eyed Jacks, it wasn't bad at all, the part that killed me was it had Slim Pickens in it playing the deputy sherrif, god I loved Blazing Saddles.
"Where da white women at", Mel Brooks is a genius.

I've never really been a big fan of westerns in general,but there are some good ones that I love like Young Guns,Maverick(kinda hokey,but a fun movie),Open Range,and the grand daddy of them all Tombstone.

Clint rules. No debate needed.

Certainly having a Hollywood budget, a couple of classic Hollywood actors and actual American shooting locations helped the tone of the film. One of the best looking films I have ever seen on a big screen-especially the opening sequence with Bronson. I am not sure Eastwood would have been very good in the role-he was better off doing Hang Em High and High Plains Drifter which are also really good films.

Agreed, it is one of the best looking movies I have ever seen, fom what I remember from didnt Leone want Eastwood to play one of the bad guys at the train station? I could be way off on this but I'm sure I heard that somewhere maybe the documentary on the DVD, I'll have to re-watch it to make sure.

Actually I mentioned "Shane" earlier and agree with your others as being good ones especially "the Searchers".Also not mentioned yet is "High Noon".
But I have to say that while I have enjoyed most of the spaghetti westerns I really don't think they are in the class of the classic american made ones.The "Good the bad and the ugly" I like best of them but must say I always found "once upon a time in the west" is spite of the fairly good cast just awful.

Shane and High Noon are two of my favorites. I'd rep you if I could.
