MissGoddess Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 That's great, I have seen the "special edition" and am considering getting that one. I don't seem to be any hurry myself about getting it, maybe because AMC seems to air it quite frequently, even though it's with commercials. Still, I always find myself sucked into watching it. It's like potato chips, one taste and I have to have more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Film_Fatale Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 .it's a "Two Disc Special Edition" and has pretty good picture and sound (at least by my standards anyway) and there are some extras but I haven't checked them out Let us know how you like the extras, when you get a chance to watch 'em.

Arkadin Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Ever since seeing *The Great Silence* (1968) (thanks to CigarJoe's excellent recommendation) I've been in a daze... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissGoddess Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 Joel, are you still in a daze? Gary Cooper in *Man of the West* gives me a similar feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkadin Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 *Man of the West* is a nice (and very underrated) film. I also like *They Came To Cordura* made just after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had a chance to watch them on my HDTV yet, but I'm sure they will look totally terrific B-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissGoddess Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Hi Joel! Wow, that's one of the most rugged scenes from THE CAME TO CODURA. I can hardly watch that part, it's so painful. But it's a terrific movie that, though apparently chopped up by the producers, still packs quite a strong punch. I love the whole philosophical angle of trying to analyze exactly what constitutes true "courage". And I can't say enough good things about *Man of the West*. Spare, lean and razor sharp. It's Anthony Mann's at his his best and pared down to the bones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggie_mae Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't _THEY CAME TO CODURA_the last movie Coop made. I read somewhere that he was so sick during the filming of this movie that they tried to get him to stop but he saw it through. The more I read and hear about this man the more I respect his work.

Not quite. His last movie was *The Naked Edge* (1961). It is true he was reportedly in pain during the filming. According to the info I found, that movie was released following his death - maybe one of our Coop experts could confirm that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie_mae Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 This is _a long read but for those Coop fan you're gonna luv this;-)!! Talk about a man for all seasons. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000011/bio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissGoddess Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 I have neglected this gallery a while, but good western pictures are getting scarcer and scarcer. Here are a couple, one I found today, which reminded me that I had this place to post it. The first is Henry Fonda and the director Sergio Leoni with messers Tonino, Valeri and Henry Fonda in My Name is Nobody and the large picture below it is Richard Arlen in a publicity shot for the 1928 silent western, Under the Tonto Rim (which I think is a Zane Grey story??)
