 two by Robert Taylor:
 
Westward the women, a true classic

Devil´s Doorway, a movie that will  make you think.

a european movie:

Once upon the West, by Sergio Leone, probably the only one western, or one of the few, where the story goes around a woman, Claudie Cardinale, impressive italian actress of great fame in Europe. Filmed in Spain, with Charles Bronson and Henry Fonda. The sound track by Ennio Morricone, one of his bests.

Thank you for this! Says it all very eloquently.

I'm almost embarrassed to admit that when I hear and sing "The Star Spangled Banner" (Yes, I do sing along when I hear it at sports events) or "Oh, Canada", I get choked up. Say what you want about me if it's true, but leave my country the hell out of it!

I've even been known to sing the "Marseillaise" in honour of my Francophone mother's heritage, arguably the most over-the-top national anthem of all.


Clarification for Petrinal and Camille.  Incase your curious why so many get upset with things that are said and why we keep replying with indignation.  This currently is my favorite Western Video.  All 3 minutes sums up a 4377 of a lot.

One movie i bring out once in a while is "windwalker"  it is done entirely in American Indian language. 

The "stalking moon" is great also.

Pretty self revealing if you ask me. Someone has just admitted that they are as we see them.

That was my take as well. Just wanted confirmation.

As luck would have it, I flicked on the toob and "The Magnificent Seven" was starting up ....

This movie has one of my favourite lines and several of my favourite scenes:

"I've been paid a lot for my work, but not everything ...", said by 'Chris' as he negotiates with the Mexican farmers for the $20 fee they offer.

And James Coburn winning against the loudmouth with his switchblade knife; "Mr. Cool" all the while. I think it was done just to mock the old adage - "Never bring a knife to a gun fight ...".

"That was the best shot I've ever seen!" as Coburn drops a fleeing Bandito. "Worst", he says, "I was aiming for the horse."

I remember an american girl visiting the south of Europe not long ago. She was surprised that people, in EUROPE, dont smile so much as americans do.  Here,  it is not a social must, and you dont have to do it to show society that you are satisfied with your life or successful or a nice person.

well, she thought that people here were angry all the time or sad because of that .....until I explained her this important  cultural difference  with americans.....(same in Russia, people don smile much but they are, however, quite a happy social people).

so you may see me as you want, but  I am not what you think I am. I am not your enemy, in short, I just think different, nothing more.

 I could even be your friend in real life.

I was watching that too recently and looked up McQueen's bio for laughs.  When I realized he'd been dead for 33 years it aged me precipitously and I vowed never to do that again.

Some folks live in a mental land that is so far left, they feel they stand on the right - then comparing to a country that stands farther right, they are viewed as standing on the far left. 

Some folks would rather live on the top of a mountain and others would prefer to live in the valley below.  Now when that fellow on the top of the mountain starts rolling boulders down the hill just for the heck of it, that fellow that lives in the valley below might get a bit touchy.  What do you suppose happens when they meet in town at the local watering hole?

Some times if a person thinks something is childish, it is because they are approaching the other folks as if they were children.  Perhaps it is better to first approach them as adults and let them work it out for themselves.  Just a thought.

When left to work it out they failed and the situation got so far out of control that when an attempt was made to right the situation, it ultimately led to the closure of a very valuable forum.  That won't happen again.


Now let's please quit allowing these people to distract from this forum and from this thread and get it back on topic.

thank you.
