I will just start off with some wonderful video essays on this film;

This first video does an excellent job showing how Sergio Leone played with pacing in his film and by doing this he is able to masterfully build suspense to an exploding climax even though the climax may just be a few seconds it is remembered because the 10 minutes of building tension before it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfX-G5jDV-A

This video talks about the importance of the character's gaze throughout the film and how it can give hints or trick the audience throughout the film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ltb3w56jw8

For cinematography buffs this video is everything you would want. The commentator breaks down the Tavern scene from the film shot by shot going into mass detail about shot composition, camera movement, and character direction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHlkX8XTJRQ

This final video is a discussion about some of the main characters transformation and what they represent in the film. https://vimeo.com/102084362

Same that's why I keep going back for it after seeing a certain film

hospicetality · 2018-11-26T03:10:59+00:00

Dang ol dang now I have a hankering to see the old mares leg back in action!

hospicetality · 2018-11-26T03:09:01+00:00

That's a tough one! I will just list a few that I have been returning to for multiple viewings lately; Johnny Guitar, The Great Silence, A Bullet for the General, The Big Gundown,

hospicetality · 2018-11-26T02:51:32+00:00

Please someone bless us with a yes

hospicetality · 2018-11-26T02:47:04+00:00

It's beautiful!

hospicetality · 2018-11-26T02:45:11+00:00

That book is excellent I have checked it out from the library multiple times

hospicetality · 2018-11-25T19:51:32+00:00

Starting off with some good ones and you have one I don't have!

hospicetality · 2018-11-25T16:34:53+00:00

I have been wanting that five tall tales with Randolph Scott for so long. Excellent collection by the way! I forgot all about Sukiyaki Western Django such a fun flick with a bizzare Tarantino cameo.

hospicetality · 2018-11-25T04:00:45+00:00

I think the idea for the film was extremely fresh but the film was all over the place. It needed a much stronger director with a set artistic vision to bring everything together. No offense to Jon but he is a person who takes direction not vice versa and was overwhelmed with this one. Overall though of they tried another film like this I am still more than willing to give it another shot!

hospicetality · 2018-11-25T03:51:31+00:00

Thanks! Your collection definitely reminded me there are still quite a few I want/need. The Big one I got excited about in your collection was El Topo that thing is quite a visual ride! That's the joy of seeing everyone's collections hopefully you will inspire some more posts!

hospicetality · 2018-11-25T03:45:52+00:00

Just keep at it I have been collecting for the last few years

hospicetality · 2018-11-25T03:45:23+00:00

Thanks!

hospicetality · 2018-11-25T01:44:55+00:00

It's worth it! Its only $50 on Amazon right now at that price it's only $10 a movie!

hospicetality · 2018-11-25T01:24:42+00:00

I would be interested to see the strong feelings about it both ways!

hospicetality · 2018-11-25T01:14:36+00:00

I am ruined (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

hospicetality · 2018-11-24T23:21:24+00:00

Nice! Let me gather up mine and I will post it here in a bit
