I gotta say, I'm really into the shoot 'em up spaghettis: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Django Companeros The Magnificent Seven The Outlaw Josey Wales
Anybody know any westerns (movies or books) with a sci-fi edge, like the Firefly series? |

The Outlaw Josey Wales "You gonna pull those pistols, or whistle Dixie?" Tombstone "Hell's coming with me!" The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly "...in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig." Jeremiah Johnson Jeremiah: "The Injuns put you here? Del: "It weren't Mormons." Unforgiven "It's a hell of a thing, killin' a man. Take away all he's got, and all he's ever gonna have." |

Thanks for all the posts. So what do you think? Anyone feeling cramped by only being able to choose their top 5? I changed several of my other posts to Top 10s. Do we need to do that here? Last Edited on: 5/9/08 7:50 PM EST - Total times edited: 1 |

The Magnificent Seven The God, the Bad, and the Ugly Desperado Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid The Three Amigos - not the best, but one of my favorites in its parody of The 7 and westerns in general |

Magnificent Seven just came out on Blu-ray with solo packaging if anyone is interested. It was out in Blu-ray already but only as a 4-pack with it's 3 "lesser" sequels. Now it is available individually. I just picked up a copy at Target for $9.99. Looking forward to seeing it again.

Finally got around to watching the remake of True Grit (2010) with Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, and an incredible performance by the then 14-year old Hailee Steinfeld, (yes both the character she played as well as the actress herself). This may very well be the first movie I have ever seen where the remake is not only as good, but I would argue even better than the original. And I really liked the original. Kudos once again to the Coen brothers. Highly recommended if you haven't had a chance to see it yet. |
