michael winner did a great job on the first 2 or 3 films depending on what stuff you like, 4 and 5 were great...action comedies?

also i really think everyone here should see 'death rides a horse' or original title 'uomo a uomo' i believe, got retitled for america

If your list doesn't include Conan the Barbarian then you're a philistine

Basil Poledouris's soundtrack for it is an all-time great

Also Unforgiven is better than practically anything I've seen listed here

"You're William Munny, who killed women and children!"

(flat) "That's right."

What a good goddamned movie.

Edit: I love Escape From New York but it's not as good as The Thing or Big Trouble In Little China.
