I love that movie. I first saw it in college with a friend of mine who was a debutante from Connecticut. She thought it was a documentary.

I liked Barcelona. I think I'm the only one.
Barcelona disappointed on the first watching. It improves markedly on subsequent viewings.

Fred: No.
Woman: All those people killed in shootings in America?
Fred: Oh, shootings, yes. But that doesn't mean Americans are more violent than other people. We're just better shots.

I've watched several Woody Allen movies as, like, assignment viewing, and they all bore me to death. I don't think I'll ever enjoy an Allen film. Crimes & Misdemeanors is the last shot I'm giving him and then I'm checking out.

Have you watched Radio Days?

Naw. I've only seen Annie Hall, Manhattan, and Hannah And Her Sisters.

Anyone here a Spaghetti Western fan? I've been like borderline obsessed with the films from the 60s and 70s made by Sergio Corbucci and other Italian directors. Love the style, the campy-ness, the humor, the violence and of course the music. Some of the best are Il Grande Silenzio, Companeros, The Big Gundown, and of course the Leone's are great. Anything Franco Nero is in pretty much...

Spaghetti westerns are awesome, but it's hard to pirate the less popular ones so I drift in and out of getting into it as a genre.

I mean buy.

Theres a great obscure video rental store in my city (portland, or) and they have almost every spaghetti thats been released on dvd there so I've been spending wayyy too much time there. But theres this company called Blue Underground has been re-releasing and remastering a bunch of Sollima, Corbucci, and other obscure euro-westerns on dvd, quality and sound are great. Pretty cheap on Amazon too.

Oh yeah. Companeros, the Mercenary and The Great Silence by Sergio Corbucci are my favorite Spaghettis hands down. The Big Gundown by Sergio Sollima, Death Rides A Horse are both awesome Lee Van Cleef films. What do all these movies have in common? Ennio Morricone does the music, he did like 75% of Italian Western scores and they're all amazing soundtracks.

When I lived in LA and had to merge from the 10 to the 405, which is the worst chunk of freeway in the western world, I would always play "The Strong."

Morricone's western scores are all amazing. Too bad he fell off so hard after that.

Regarding Spagetti Westerns, Sabata and Adios Sabata are good.
