Unforgiven - ITV 4 . 21.00.

9/10 from me.

Would have been 10 if the daft coont would have banged the hooker.

certainly the best western ever. 10/10

It's very good but I think Sergio Leone's "Once Upon a Time in the West" is better.

Can only give it 7, H. Too slow and Fond is about 90 and gets his wanger serviced before Charles of the Bronson. Poor form..

invicta the good bad and ugly the best by a mile

Nothing will ever beat She wore a Yellow Ribbon.

good film but i think the ribbon is worn out now

@ mad.dog

Yes gb&u a great film but unforgiven better imho. All Eastward westerns can be put in the very good catergory.

Ahem; can we please remove Bronco Billy from that list..

give you that one g2d

Yeah what a Movie. 10=10

Thank you Invicta. Standards ya know...

I never tire of watching this film, it must be at least a dozen times that I have seen it and it never fails to deliver.

Me to Slippy.

Great Acting......Gene Hackman was Brilliant.

He very nearly didn't do the film. He was worried about the violence but Eastwood wanted him badly. So some scenes were cut and Hackman did the film..

Intresting guinness.

And true. Took a lot of persuading from Eastwood..

One of the first films I ever saw in the cinema mad dog.
I think it was the 'support' film or whatever they called it.
Have watched it a few times over the years and never tire of it as it evokes so many good memories.

One of the best 'westerns' ever made - Eastwood wiped the slate for some of his less inspired films. Up there with The Searchers, which started to face the barbarity of the occupation.

Brilliant film, I also love The Cowboys. The John Wayne film where he takes a load of kids on a Cattle Drive and Bruce Dern kills him.

Naughty Bruce.

Bruce is also known for being one of the very few to actually err do the deed on screen..

with whom and when?

Sorry Terry, i don't know the colour of the sheets..

Maud Adams was a very beautiful woman, she was a Bond girl a couple of times. I can't recall which films off hand.

I never knew that about Gene Hackman hesitating to take the role of Little Bill, he put in a great performance as did Richard Harris in his role as English Bob. All in all it's in my top 5 films ever and no doubt will watch it again next time it is on!

Goldeneye was one.

No takers

Octofanny
A View To A Kill (but not credited)

Maud Solveig Christina Adams (née Wikström born 12 February 1945), is a Swedish actress, known for her roles as two different Bond girls: in The Man with the Golden Gun (1974), and as the eponymous character in Octo**** (1983) as well as making a brief uncredited appearance in A View to a Kill (1985).

Ffs - **** a banned word ! How utterly ridiculous.

Errr please note my superb using of the American word for arse

Oh and keep up

Noted

Thank you

Unforgiven is undoubtedly my favourite western.

I'm not ' keeping up  btw. ' I was correcting you, my dear fellow.
Viz:-
Not Goldeneye but The Man With The Golden Gun.  hth

Not really, did you not see the next post?

1 btw

Oh, the old ' deliberate mistake ' ploy !

Well it was posted before your correction dear chap.


Anyway it was relevant to my disclosing of Maude and Bruce's tryst..

Unforgiven a masterpiece. Would rather watch Josey Wales or TGTBTU though.

I love Bronco Billy too! Its not a western.

John Wayne's final film The Shootist was a good western.

Yes Facts I had forgotten about that one . Great cast James Stewart, Lauren Bacall and Ritchie Cunningham.

I don't know. All those great films that Ron Howard has directed, yet he's still Ritchie Cunningham!

My step father thinks Shane is the best western ever.

He's not far wrong, Mo...

whats wrong with roy rogers films

or the cisco kid

or the lone ranger

"The duck of death", brilliant !

invicta

"certainly the best western ever. 10/10"

It was very good, but 'best ever' ? Rio Bravo or The Searchers.

your forgiven g2d, wasn't dern in a film called "after the goldrush" seem to remember that from reading the sleeve notes from a neil young album of the same name, anyway I thought both movies of 3.10 to Yuma were both great

News to me if he was. Maybe it was a TV show? He did tons of TV westerns before and after 'The Cowboys'

terry

NeilYoung wrote the songs to his album After The Goldrush, inspired by a screenplay ( of the same name), that had come into his possession..
However, nothing came of the film. Although the album has become a classic Young album, full of brilliant tracks.

o right thanks facts,yes superb as usual from the great man mr. young

Yep. A genius.

Just got around to watching this for the first time last night. I agree with Slippy. Never mind being the best western ever, if there's a better film of any sort out there, then I can't imagine what it is.

I can see why Eastwood was desperate to get Hackman to play Little Bill. It was like watching Popeye Doyle at work a hundred years earlier sometimes. I kept expecting him to ask the "Duck of Death" whether he ever picked his feet in Poughkeepsie.

Even the poor subtitles on ITV4 didn't spoil it: "could of", "should of" etc., for god's sake. And randomly mixing up the colours of the speakers' lines. Had to rewind the w@nking discussion a couple of times in order to lipread whether it was Eastwood or Freeman who was content to use his hand.

By the way, does anyone know whether anything is cut from the ITV4 version?
