Movie review thread...

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.

There's been a few old Clint's on foxtel recently. Watched High Plains Drifter the other night.

That's a goody but still probably not even his top five

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.

Clint was just putting her in her place.

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?

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 Rider

Fuck, 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...

Bronco Billy on the list for me

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.

It’s called the Sondra Locke effect.
That period he was with her and put her in most of his films. All were pretty shit
Though Sudden Impact wasn’t bad ( not as good as the first couple Dirty Harry’s) but had its moments.

She was in the Outlaw Josey Wales though and despite only ranking 4th on my esteemed list it is a fucken awesome flick.

Agree on the majority of the rest though.

The Dirty Harry's followed most sequel rules and got progressively worse but the dollars trilogy did it the other way round although the argument can be made that while Clint played essentially the same character in all three it wasn't THE same character....

She had a great rack though

Are we thinking the same person ?

Yes but rarely shown to good effect.

Yeah forget she was in OlJW
Looked it up she passed away late last year too
Good to see Clint outlive his ex’s.
