    Cat Ballou was hilarious. Anyone who didn't like that movie needs to have their sense of humor checked for malfunction.
    Trinity and Good, Bad & the Ugly were also great.
    The spaghetti westerns in general were incredible. The storylines were such a contradiction in terms of the production itself.
    The storylines were surreal and over the top. Kind of like the Kung Fu movies of the 70s. But the characters themselves, as well as alot of the individual scenes had an air of realism. One of the things that always stood out for me with Once Upon a Time in the West was in the opening scene at the train station you could here flies buzzing. The cowboys looked sweaty, dirty and unshaven, etc. But then other parts within the storyline were bizarre.

    I liked it a lot. Was a little slow at parts so if you like more fast paced Westerns it might not be your thing but Pitt and Casey Affleck were really good in it. At parts it almost seems like a documentary so it was kind of interesting.

    Quigley is one of my favorites ... couldn't get into the Sacketts as much because it was so danged long. Or, at least it felt that way when I was watching it.

    Open Range - The gun fight scene is unreal.
    Unforgiven - another unbelievable gun fight scene
    Shane -***
    The Searchers - John again
    Tombstone - Val Kilmer made this movie
    One eyed Jacks - how could I forget that one

    Special runnerups - The Shootist and The Man who shot Liberty Valence and The Ox-Bow Incident

    Sorry but I just had to come back and replace The Cowboys with Shane. I don't know how I could have been so forgetful. Must have been a senior moment.

    I chose the Searchers...but if I had to choose another John Wayne movie, I think it would be El Dorado.

    The Searchers was on week before last, I tried to burn a copy but it fritzed on a power burp and I lost it.. a very good flick.. I just REALLY like some of the lines in BJake.. I have used the "if you won't respect your elders, I can make you respect your betters"... before.. on my son.. : )

    John Wayne does come up with some great one liners: The Searchers "That'll be the day!" - Big Jake " My fault, your fault, nobodys fault ..........." and The Cowboys "We've seen what you can do with a boy howabout a real man for a change." And, of course, (he didn't say it but) "Thats bold talk for a one eyed fat man." John Wayne put out some great flicks thats for sure.
