Cliffhanger
Why do most of Arnies 80s/90s movies hold up pretty well but Sly does basically the same thing and it ages like a pint of milk ? Some pretty awesome mountain climbing sequences but overall just an embarrassing crap fest all round, the 'hot' chick looks like a boy and the guy from that crap 90s sitcom about Aliens ( 3rd rock from the sun, thanks Google) tries to convince us he is a badass megalomaniac. Sly......you try so hard, you're jacked and clearly did loads of your own stunts but why do I get the impression you just ended up with the rubbish Arnie turned down ?
Don't reminisce, avoid at all costs

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Well what can I say about a bona fide absolute stonking fucken classic that hasn't been said ? Cheesy, dated, a few plot holes ( how does Tuco know who Angel Eyes is ? Would Blondie really dissolve a partnership that's getting him 3 grand a pop ? ) but holy shit.....I love this movie. Clint is fucken magnificent but Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach are just as, if not better than he is. Luckily cos many of the supporting characters are horribly wooden and badly dubbed.
Best part of this is my boys loved it too. I can't imagine enjoying a movie made 11 years before my old man was born....it gives me hope for this generation.....

That's a goody but still probably not even his top five westerns.
Actually it's definitely not.
I'd go for....
Good the Bad and the Ugly
For a few dollars more
Unforgiven
Outlaw Josey Wales
Pale RiderFuck, there's some seriously good flicks that miss out. No room for Fistful of Dollars ( great fun but the 'sequels' just got better and better ) Joe Kidd, Hang em High or indeed High Plains Drifter...

It's a banger. Clints tobacco spitting ability is off the charts.

Watched 28 days later and 28 weeks later, both still good zombie flicks, but you gotta laugh at how stupid people are.
Thought Robert Carlysle was in the 1st one, didnt realise it was Cillian Murphy (although before he was Thomas Shelby)
Have Good BAd and Ugly, must watch that again too.

The 'rape' scene stands out like dog's balls by today's values. It probably wasn't even considered a rape back in the day.

Reminds me of a quote from and old (crap) James Coburn film, when the sheriff got a complaint of rape from the female lead he laughed and said "Assault with a friendly weapon". 1970's eh?

Yeah it's a pretty silly romp.
Clint lost his way in the late 70s/early 80s

I could see some merit in the two orang-utan movies but Bronco Billy, City Heat and Honky Tonk Man you can keep. I'd say they spoiled the legacy but seeing as it's Clint that ain't possible.

To be fair, it was based on a shit book.
