[b]The Outlaw Josey Wales[/s]
I was flicking through YouTube. Someone has posted all of the Clint's westerns - full end to end films. I started to watch on my PC then decided to go downstairs and watch it properly on high quality copy I have on my big screen TV. It's a masterpiece - possibly the best western ever. It feels like it contains several stories all in one because it moves through that time and across locations, meeting all sorts of characters along the way.
My fav film ever is The Good The Bad and The Ugly - again for the way the story moves through so many locations, painting America as an almost unlimited piece of land, but also because of the music. I'll admit GBU is more of a pop-film than Josey Wales which *really* tells a story right the way through to its satisfying end. The cinematography is utterly spectacular. One day, I'll try to visit the unpopulated mid-western part of America. In fact there were some scenes in the first series of Westworld where they captured huge vistas that must still exist over there. Josey Wales - not a single scene wasted.

Top stuff.
Where Eagles Dare - a fantastic action film of the type that just wouldn't get made today. 2 1/2 hours but never feels like it drags, and plenty of twists and turns in the plot. Parts are clearly nonsense - the 1950's American Helicopter or no one questioning why those 2 people in German uniforms are sitting in the tavern speaking English, but the way I see it every film requires some suspension of disbelief. If you're engaged, you don't mind.

I think they had the US helicopter because they couldn’t get hold of one of the first German ones that tested during the war. Doesn’t help with consistency obviously…Oilchange said:

Tested being the operative word. I could be wrong, but I don't think there were *any* helicopters in active service at the time that the film was set; there were some very unreliable prototypes and that was about it. But, yes, it was a bit of a howler as it was so very distinctively a Bell 47 (as made famous in M*A*S*H), and which itself wasn't introduced until just after the war ended.
