This is unpopular but A Fistful of Dynamite is not only my favourite Leone western, but my favourite western of all time.

I still haven't seen any of Leone's westerns outside of his dollars trilogy, which is probably criminal.

The Man with No Name trilogy is the only westerns I like. Okay, maybe Unforgiven as well. Unforgiven could actually act as the closing movie for the man with no name.

Unforgiven is fantastic. I also really liked High Plains Drifter.

You should definitely watch Once Upon a time in the West. It is Leone with a large budget, excellent production values, and none of the occasionally distracting lip sync issues from his Italian films.

On the subject of Westerns: I'm 47, and I've never watched a single John Wayne movie. That's unlikely to change.

Not viewing OUATITW is criminal.

John Wayne westerns look crap. Maybe they are, maybe they aren't but I have no interest in them. Clint Eastwood westerns, by comparison, look badass.

It's a perfect film.

Not sure if it's perfect,it has has a very complicated plot for a children's film,but I do think that what the Wachowski's achieved with this movie is nothing short of astonishing.

I was very sad to see it dismissed like that when it was in theatres,and they never returned to this kind of visual storytelling after that.

Speed Racer was OK. The story wasn't that bad, but the visuals clashed with the source material.

Also, the casting for Speed and Spritle was atrocious.

I guess you know your limitations.

You're a bit young for John Wayne, but if you try one, it ought to be The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.

The Silence may be Netflix's answer to a Quiet Place (though it is based on a novel written years before that movie came to be), but it does have one legitimately good kill for a PG-13 movie.

I'm in the same camp as thinking Speed Racer is a great film. Although, isn't this a popular opinion? Because according to Google users, 87% liked this film, lol.

Wint and Kidd would love it

[Aloha from Hawaii 73]

The audience wanted mo(o)re and mo(o)re , (00)7 films :

LALD (similar to kung fu movie , its mostly about the action , Seymour and Kotto were great , nice music)

TMWTGG (only good things are Lee , Herve , thai/HK locations otherwise a chore to watch imo)

TSWLM (i prefered the scary Jaws , Jurgens is underrated , wonderful locations , Hamlischs music is very good)

MR (wonderful locations , plot is pure sci fi , Lonsdale is terrific as Drax , amazing Barry music)

FYEO (imo , plot wise this was the best , Bouquet one of the best girls of Moore era ,many would prolly find the villain too low key though , Contis music is underrated and much better than todays generic stuff)

OP (Jourdan was good , Bedi very underrated , Berkoff shines , Adams and Wayborn do a fine job)

AVTAK (Walken is one of the best Bond villains , the plot is pretty realistic for a Bond , Jones was amazing as MD & sort of a pre 90s Onatopp , wonderful Paris/"Siberia"/Chantilly & SF is nice too , Barrys music is again amazing and thrilling. Bonus point Gray as the sinister dr Mortner , Bauchau is okay too)
