I finally watched the two movies that come before The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. I loved them. They were exciting and dramatic and had some decent storytelling.

What I liked most was they don’t spoon feed you everything. If you’re not paying attention and are on your phone you’re not going to know what’s going on. For example, I was on my phone, looked up, and saw that the hero was doing terribly at target practice. I had to rewind to see that they broke his right hand and was learning to shoot with his left. I swear modern movies just have actors narrating and renarrating what they’re doing because they know you’re on your phone not really paying attention.

Also, I realized that when a cowboy does a super quick draw and shoots 3 men before they can draw it’s just like an anime when there is a flash and the hero sheathes their sword, with enemies falling over dead.

    There’s a couple comedy Westerns with James Garner that I’ll watch whenever they come up:

    Support Your Local Sheriff

    Support Your Local Gunfighter

    Similar story in both, James Garner is great at his Jim Rockford persona.

    Some other westerns:

    Once Upon a Time in the West

    Angel and the Badman (younger John Wayne, black&white)

    Hellfighters is John Wayne, but not a western.
