    Ok Ok,

    We've had best War Film, Top 10 etc etc.

    My 3 Favourite Westerns are as follows,

    No.1

    The Wild Bunch - Pure bloody excellance, the scene at the start with the bank robbery is pure killing smile.gif, and the ending is very cool too.

    No.2
    The Good, The Bad and the Ugly - I'm not going to even explain this one.

    No.3
    Unforgiven - Well its does share its name with a Metallica song. But again Mr. Eastwood is a mean moody ******* and I luv those kinda Movies.

    Come on lads ure opinions please, as long as its not from the "Biodome brigade" tongue.gif

    Gandalf.

    Well exxxxccccccuuuusseee me! Just 'cause we like Bio-Dome (nobody looves me!) doesn't mean we have bad taste.

    Unforgiven...the best western made in about 20 years.

    The Good, the Bad, the Ugly...yep another classic...

    A Fist Full of Dollars/A Few Dollars More were great but the original Japanese Samuri ones were better - Yojimbo!

    Gimme a western with Clint Eastwood any day over any other, he is just unbeatable, and keep John Wayne awy from me...never liked his films.

    Other great Westerns, the Magnificent Seven, Posse, and the Young Guns films(well I though they were pretty kewl tongue.gif)

    Seriously though, I honestly can't remember if I saw it or not, when was it made? Is it on vid? Who's in it? I'll give it a spin in the ol' V.C.R (pronounded vee see are) and let you know what I think..if I think..when, if ever, i think...

    what was I saying...

    Err it was made in the early 70's (maybe even the 60's) by Sam Peckinpath (I know I've spelt it wrong.

    Its a good violent Western. You can buy it for around £5-£8 at most stores.

    Oh and yeah I forgot about The Magnificent Seven.

    Gandalf.
