Sturgeon Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 The Dollars Trilogy is amazing and well worth marathoning. Belesarius, T___A, LoooSeR and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxn Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 It might just be a like-the-one-you've-seen-first thing, but I like a Fistful of Dollars more than Yojimbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturgeon Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 I like them both pretty much equally, but Kurosawa's mastery in direction is unquestioned. Toxn and Belesarius 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter_Sobchak Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 The funny thing about the Western is that it's really hard to describe exactly what it is. At its most obvious, a western is a movie that takes place on the American frontier. But by that definition, Little House on the Priarie is a Western. I don't think most people have that in mind when they think Western. On the other hand, the sci-fi film "Outland" starring Sean Connery from 1981 is a Western in regards to the plot and style, if not the setting. The Road Warrior is another example of a western set in a non-western setting. Truth be told, the "Western" is a film genre that has very little to do with the historical reality that was the American west, thankfully for those western settlers.

Damn, I think my ramblings killed the thread. Anyhow, here is Death Rides a Horse. Donward 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
