GBU or Once Upon a Time in the West

[jye4ever]

I have always wondered which of the 2 my fellow geeks preferred.

My choice was easy.

GBU

 

[punisher1974]

Eastwood all the way man.

 

[JMT1979]

No contest - GBU.

 

[Mr Walker]

GBU

GBU all the way. Everyone in it is brilliant, but Eli Wallach should have been charged with grand larceny, he steals every scene he's in.

No American western movie will ever be in my top 5 western movies.

Sorry Shane a real shame lol

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I've never seen Once Upon a Time in the West or High Noon, which is supposedly a great western. I also haven't seen most John Wayne westerns.

I like The GB &U tho. It's a bit long tho.
Tuco really makes that film, kind of like Joker in TDK. Or more appropriately, Jack Sparrow.

There's an extended cut?

Maybe, what's the difference?

punisher hold me lol

Well now that one of my dreams was finally fulfilled in 2021 with the original mono being included for GBU here is hoping that The Terminator will one day get a 4K release with the original mono as an option.

The less said about T2 4K the better lol

I too would love Terminator in 4K with original mono where the gunshots sound like actual gunshots from a 45 and not a pistol with silencer. T2 4K sucks since they used the scrubbed version for the 3D release. If they released the proper 4K that is rumored to have been mastered it might be a pick up for me. As far as the Good the Bad and the Ugly the extended edition is not really essential as the original is about as perfect as you can get. All 3 of the main characters are well acted and the music is awesome and I still get goosebumps with the showdown. This and Raiders are just well done movies and each the top for each decade for me.

Studio Canal is putting up 4K T2 AGAIN for sale on 12/9 for the 30th anniversary edition but I think it will be the same DNR crap version grrrrrr.

Unknown if the 154 minute cut will be 4K but I doubt it.

Steelbook looks cool though.

 

[fistfulmetal]

GBU for sure but OUATITW is an incredible film too.

GBU

My choice was easy too because to this day I still haven't watched OUATITW!

The Khev Prince of Crime lol

 

[Khev]

I've seen Once Upon A Time in Mexico though does that count, lol.

 

[Asta]

I can't decide.

I think of Once Upon a Time in the West as an artier, worthier movie, forming a trilogy about the evolution of America from an Italian perspective.

Whereas the Dollars trilogy is more fantastical, and full of so many anachronisms that it practically takes place in an alternate history of America.

I've got both trilogies out, but will probably skip Once Upon a Time in America because it's too far out of the 'wild west' era.

Yep we have original mono for JAWS and GBU, we just need Terminator to come through so that I can finally retire my 2003 MGM DVD, lol.
