re-evaluating older films....

[Halb]

Best decade for films for me is the 80's, I like the 70's conspiracy grit, but I prefer the heroic adventures of the next ten years.

Best Westerns is so tough; the ones I'll always watch if I see them on; Dollars trilogy, Unforgiven, Josey Wales, Wild Bunch, Professionals, Searchers, The three rio films, the SOns of Katie Elder, High Plains Drifter, Butch Cassidy and the SUndance Kid, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, The Alamo, True Grit, Blazing Saddles, Support Your Local Sheriff/Gunfighter, Hour of the Gun, Tombstone/Wyatt Earp, Little Big Man, Ride th High COuntry, Jeremiah Johnson, Bad Company, How the West was Won, Paleface(and sequel), Big COuntry, (most Mann westerns) The Man from Laramie, Winchester .73, the Naked Spur, Destry Rides Again, Shenandoah, Sheriff of Fractured Jaw, Ballard of Cable Hogue, A Crooked Man...I like westerns, including the modern versions, such as No Country for Old Men, Hell or High Water etc

Have you seen open range? Definitely one the best of the recent westerns up there with that William money Clint one that the name escapes me just now.

Ps I never said the 70s was the best to the exclusion of all others just that it was my favourite.

I like 80s films too and will always watch commando when it’s on always and Conan

But thrillers is my thing and the 70s did it best. There have been gems since obviously.

Yep, I'd deffo watch it if it was on he telly, I rate both Costner and...forget name, the old bloke from The Firm.

I like the grim realism of the 70's but I can only take so much, I need 80's optimism.
The Parallax View stands out...but not sure if I could change that ending...
