Have you seen The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance? The Ballet of Cable Hogue? From Noon Till Three, A Big Hand for the Little Lady, the list is endless. I didn’t mean to suggest they were better, it was just an alternative if the ones he’s been watching haven’t done anything for him. I love all Westerns, prefer spaghetti, personally. 1 hour ago, publicist said: This was a treasure trove of hard-to-find spagetthi western tunes. It helped spark my love for the genre.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Alien Covenant I was surprised by the backlash this one got. Although it had some dumb moments, you begin to accept the Alien formula that Scott seems to like repeating - ship full of idiots arrives on planet, pick up alien egg/goo and all hell breaks loose. That's it! That's all these movies are. He just insists on dressing it up with religious/philosophical stuff because maybe he likes reading Milton before bedtime.

OK, Trinity 1 only has the iconic song, but Nobody and Buddy were done by Morricone. (I might not be entirely objective, the latter one's been engraved in my memory since my early childhood) Seeing them depends on how much you would enjoy juvenile/cartoonish semi-spoofs of the genre.

publicist 4,643 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Tales of Hoffman looks totally intriguing but i never made it past the first 20 minutes. Dragonslayer...it might not be a perfect movie, but the mis-én-scene (often fluid like early Spielberg) and the for-the-time remarkable fx compensate for a miscast Peter MacNicol and a storyline that fumbles from time to time. The scenery makes you aching for a Isle of Sky vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon McBride 113 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I was surprised by how good Dragonslayer actually was when I first watched it. I was expecting some rinky dink sword and sorcery film, but it's actually pretty good.Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) It was pretty good, but I was angry at the ending cause I really wanted it to have a good ending and it didn't.
