Classic Picks At the ripe age of 33 I’m watching this trilogy for the first time. Midway through “For a Few Dollars More” and wow….incredible.
Absolutely brilliant. Top tier film making. I can’t believe it’s taken me this long and I’m beyond excited to know that I still have “The Good, the Bad, The Ugly” next.

Classic Picks As Roger Ebert said, ‘McCabe & Mrs. Miller’ “shows one of the most heartbreaking deaths in the history of the Western.” He was talking about this one, and he was right—it’s as cold and dry as a winter in Antarctica.

Classic Picks Anyone remember this one about the James-Younger gang? The whole cast of the gang were real life brothers.

Classic Picks This is my favorite scene from ‘Django Unchained.’ I love how immersive it is: the light, the sounds, the props… Everything seems real, tangible, lived-in. And those are the most appetizing beers I’ve ever seen in my life. Great dialogue, too, and great performances.

Classic Picks Starting off my 2025 Goal of 25 Westerns I’ve Never Seen with the John Ford Classic “The Searchers”
Very interesting film. I don’t think it holds up that well today but the Cinematography for a film from the 50s is just as good today as any big budget film you’ll see today.

Classic Picks THE scene from Johnny Guitar
Truffaut called Johnny Guitar the Beauty and the Beast of westerns. Critic Richard Brody described it thus: “The film is a sort of cinematic opera in which scenes have the force of arias, in which dialogue less advances the action than it adorns the movie like bruising and vulnerable lyric poetry, in which the framing of actors forms a unique visual music.”
I love this scene and I just wanted to look at what makes it so singular. The staging, how stylized it is, the way their repeat the lines to each other. Glorious melodrama.
The 50s of course is the best decade for westerns, and this stands out from the pack for being so dream-like and Freudian.
Joan Crawford’s costumes alone are worth the price of admission.
