there you go:
I like "YELLOW SKY", with Gregory Peck. The final duel scene is masterfully shot....as it shows us a great rule: LESS can be more...I reccomend you watch it.
I also loved "Night Passage", dubbed "la ultima bala" (last bullet) in spanish, with Audie Murphy and James Stewart.
"They died with their boots on", is a great classic, with Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland and Anthony Queen.
"Wild bunch" is a great, but a bit overstimated and probably unrealistically violent film by and overstimated director, like Sam Peckinpah, whose greater movie, is, in my opinion, "Straw dogs".
"3 GODFATHERS", a really great understimated film, with the true american patriot John Wayne. John, unlike what many left wing intellectuals think, played very interesting roles under John Ford´s orders...normally antisocial men, who are somewhat marginated or a bit segregated by society, but with a deep great heart, and an endless desire for justice, in a very hostile environment.
in other words, unlike today´s HOLLYWOOD trash, with tasteless movies, soundtracks and stories, classic westerns, specially John Wayne´s, showed the best of the american spirit, like braveness, ingenuity and confidence in hard work.
even when John fillmed "The Alamo"...he treated mexicans with respect, in my opinion.....and I am sure, that in real life, SANTA ANA, and his troops, were not worth much respect at all...(he was taken prisoner by the americans disguised as woman....what type of general is that..our generals die in combat!).
and he showed much respect for Vietnam and it´s peoples in his "GREEN BERETS", another understimated film, that showed that one can make a good patriotic movie witouth desrespecting other countries.
one of the worse westerns I have seen, is SOLDIER BLUE, pure trash, by the way. Sorry, but the many Indian tribes, not all,, despite what they have been triying to brainwashing us about, were not angels and allways the victims...some were really blood thirsty, and killed whites...because it was their way of life..to kill others.
in that aspect, todays directors, are making a mistake: they treat a the West in their films with a modern man´s mentality. And that is unrealistic.
I dont watch modern productions, the script, soundtrack, photography and acting, is horrible, witouth comparison to the masterfully shot, and interpreted classics, like High Noon, whose photography...is first class from the very begining. That people in Hollywood, at that time, were truly artists. Not all, of course, but there was art in those times in movies.
