for the first time.
Wow.
And I don't usually like westerns.
Vin: Reminds me of that fellow back home that fell off a ten story building. Chris: What about him? Vin: Well, as he was falling people on each floor kept hearing him say, "So far, so good." Tch... So far, so good!

1. I recommend you rent the 1954 Akira Kurosawa movie "Seven Samurai" |

too - its plot is the basis for the later western. Interesting to see how the two directors developed the stories to suit their very different times and societies - and yet there are issues in common between medieval Japan and the lawless American early west. Great fun to see a young Toshiro Mifune in this classic movie.

There's nothin' better than a good western. Problem is that there's so damned few of 'em ... good ones that is.
The Wild Bunch is a must see. I can think of several others ... just not the titles.
