Nope, no matter if you mean the "reenactors" or the Asetrú (even though I know a few people in the communities) I am just generally interested in the era and have read exensively about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His wiki is interesting. apparently he was a gunner on b29s in the PTO, flew 25 combat missions and received a purple heart. Unfortunately it also says he passed away in 2003 from a multitude of things that are basically the result of old age and the poor health issues that seem to multiply once a serious illness is introduced. When talking about movies in general - and Charles Bronson in particular - I have to mention Once Upon a Time in the West. Watch it, if you havent already done so: It is a masterpiece - one of the best movies ever made, in my opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sublime Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 I usually am not really into westerns as much to be honest. The Legend of Hells Gate was a suprisingly good movie and a western at that however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like westerns let me recommend The Good, the Bad, the Weird. It's a Korean western that takes place in the late 1930s in Manchuria. It''s about a thief, a hitman, and a bounty hunter searching for a Qing Dynasty treasure buried in the desert before the Japanese army finds it first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw the trailer and its a total rip off and spoof of Leone's film complete with music style and a three way gunfight. Could be fun... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinophile Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Where's Come And See? Horrifying, amazing and incredible that it got made in the first place. Plus, as a Tv/film crew, I can tell that the actual shooting must have been just. ****ing. Awful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My source: SPR, The Dirty Dozen, and innumerable episodes of ''Combat' and 'Rat Patrol'. Wouldn't it be funny if the most 'factually accurate' war film turned out the be 'Catch-22'? 'Reenactor' type movies tend to be deadly dull. The war (whichever war) is meant to be the backdrop to a proper human story, not the story itself. Technical accuracy, whether in U-boats, tanks, aircraft, or swordplay is the added spice that flavors the dish. Look out for Catch 22 the series.

Story is a bit far fetched, but good action and with Kurt Russel you can't go wrong. It ain't no 3.10 to Yuma though. Let's also not forget the oldies, especially James Stewart. The Man from Laramie! Winchester 73! My big hero when I was a little kid. Couldn't get enough of playing Cowboy and Indian.

umlaut Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 As this seems to have derailed into a western movie thread (I take part of the blame), I will recommend a few (dollars) more: Unforgiven - by and with Clint himself. Deadwood - brilliant HBO series. The Revenant - unconventional and gruesome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
