It's been a couple of years since I last watched, and am feeling like I should fire it up again.

Advice, experience, whatever, appreciate any feedback.

I think I've seen the film at least 4 or 5 times. It's a great film but not one that I feel compelled to watch every year. That may have to do with the fact that I'm not a huge fan of the Western genre in general but there are some rare exceptions. smile

I watch the whole Fistfull of Dollars "trilogy" (For a Fistfull of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More and The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly) once a year. I love the Ennio Morricone soundtrack so much.

I like "Fistfull of Dollars" as well but whenever I watch it all I can think of is how it's an inferior version/remake of the Kurosawa classic "Yojimbo". smile

I've been listening to the old Gunsmoke radio show on Zootradio for the last couple of months. It's the last thing I do in the evening before heading to bed. Nice and relaxing.

Just watched TGBU the other night...classic! You do need 3 hours to set aside for this one though.

The Outlaw Josey Whales was on last night...caught up to it about a quarter way through...couldn't turn it off. Another good one!

You know a film score is really special when it can be listened to on its own without the film and it still holds up.

"High Plains Drifter" for me.


The rusty wire that holds the cork that keeps the anger in
Gives way and suddenly it’s day again
The sun is in the east
Even though the day is done
Two suns in the sunset, hmph
Could be the human race is run

"Vanishing Point" (1971) is the one I like to re-watch every so often. Love it.

I enjoyed The Ballad of Little Joe. Quite different from Outlaw Josey Wales, or other famous Westerns, but interesting in it's own right.

Ennio Morricone is one of my go-to music listens. I particularly like TGTB&TU and Once Upon A Time In The West (best movie reveal ever IMO).

I had the good fortune to see Ennio live in Prague a couple of months ago. Great gig.

Love me some Firefox, Honkeytonk Man...even his lesser work is still pretty good.
