Costner + Gun fights = Perfect Film!

Advantages: Costner, great story, very well acted
Disadvantages: May be too long for some

Open Range is another of my bargain buys and this time I was very impressed, not only with the fact that Kevin Costner is in the film but it was also a good film to watch. The film stars Boss, played by Robert Duval, Charlie, played by Kevin Costner, Buttons and Mose who are free grazers and spend their time travelling around letting their cattle graze off other peoples land. When they arrive in a particular town the trouble starts. Boss sends Mose ...

DON'T CALL ME BAMBINO!

Advantages: Great slapstick comedy with the appeal of the Spaghetti westerns
Disadvantages: Dubbing

...was that these were comedies. They Call Me Trinity (1970) and Trinity is Still My Name (1974) were still recognisably spaghetti westerns but the violence was replaced by slapstick and the heroes were comedic parodies of the classic characters like 'The lone Gunslinger' or 'the man with no name'. When released these films were huge box office successes and broke many box office records worldwide. As previous spaghetti western these were made primarily ...
...Harriman. THE FILMS They Call Me Trinity (1970) Trinity a sort of hobo gunslinger turned bounty hunter rides into a small town only to find his brother Bambino as the sheriff.

He was hacking on me!

Advantages: Great film
Disadvantages: None really

Young Guns is the 1988 film with an all star brat pack cast that tells the story of the emergence of Billy the Kid and the regulators he reputedly rode with. The film is one of the more entertaining modern Westerns, and remains set as one of the better known of the modern era. The Plot New Mexico, 1878. Landowner John Tunstall takes in tearaway youths and educates them in return for them working for him in keeping his land and cattle safe and looked ...
...some good performances from some young brat pack actors here, and they are cemented by a strong showing by a couple of veterans. Jack Palance and Terence Stamp play feuding landowners Murphy and Tunstall respectively, and do so with the class we have come to expect of them. Emilio Estevez takes the lead role fo the film in Billy the Kid, and is followed by a string of good performances, most notably from Kiefer Sutherland as Josiah 'Doc' Scurlock. ...

The Connancheros/The Undefeated

Advantages: Two John Wayne movies in a set
Disadvantages: Both have been on TV several Times

Both of these movies have been on Tv several times before, so I will not dwell on their plots. If , like me, you love John Wayne or are collecting his movies you will buy these anyway, if not well, I'll just say they are not among his best movies. Much of Wayne's best work was done with Director John Ford (Stagecoach), in others he simply goes through the motions. In these two movies, it is the motion phase,don't get me wrong both of these movies ...
