Herding cattle is serious business. You can’t make comedy out of it.

Yeah. Jimmy Stewart is in it also. He is come to clean up town, but it turns out he is a Pacifist. That is the set-up. It is good movie!
Lou, if you like westerns, then you MUST watch Djanjo Unchained!! It’s um, technically a westrern.
Fucking great film too!

Sounds like my kind of man, so long as he still wins… I’d better go watch it.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen that. I’m pretty sure I thought it was great. But in all honesty, I can’t remember for sure or not!
Obviously you’ve never been to Botleigh Grange on a Saturday night.

I was very tempted to put Mad Max Fury Road in there too, but who knowsif repeat viewing will not show it kindly, too early to tell.
like Pap, I too watch a lot of shit in with the European art house stuff, De Sica’s Umberto D and Bicycle Thieves sits on the same shelves as all four Toxic Avenger films for example.

No I had to drop Micky for life of Brian. I love Micky Blud Eyes and do not really give a shit what you tossers think!
also like grease and Bee Movie.
Micky Blue Eyes is one of the first films I watched with Liz and my family. I love the film, only watched it last night after Shutter Island.

Have you seen Heaven’s Gate?
I’m in it (as an extra). The movie succeeded in destroying United Artists.

Top ten (called it an even dozen) movies from the seventies – the golden age of American cinema:
The Godfather (1, not 2. The ‘baptism of death’ sequence is one of the masterpieces of modern film)
Badlands. The first film from the ruralist philosopher Terrence Malick, starring Martin Sheen in full James Dean mode, and all told from the perspective of Cissy Spacek.
Taxi Driver. There is not a more jaggedly poetic character that Travis Bickle. Paul Schrader, who wrote it, never got close again to this dialogue writing.
Westworld. Michael ‘Jurassic Park’ Crichton directed from his own novel. Yul Brynner’s best movie.
The Deer Hunter. Michael Cimino’s flawed masterpiece about the Vietnam War.
Apocalypse Now. Vietnam again – photographed by Vittorio Storaro in blood and dirt. You need to see the outtakes of the Brando scene in the cave – very strange.
Chinatown. Roman Polanski fought with Robert Towne, the screenwriter, over the ending. Towne hated the downbeat ending with the shooting of Dunaway. Polanski was right.
Annie Hal l. Woody Allen at his absolute creative peak, funny as hell.
The Exorcist. Truly the most frightening experience I’ve ever had in a cinema.
The Sting. A movie as clever as the grifters in it; Newman and Redford’s chemistry is amazing to watch.
High Plains Drifter. The western as messianic mythology. Directed by Eastwood.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind. This vies with Duel as my favourite Spielberg movie.

I can’t say my top 10 now, i’m a bit tired
Love Badlands, Sissy Spacek though 
Jaws is of course the best Spielberg movie
