Boxing Film Southpaw It Stinks!

This thread is far more worthwhile than many of them and unfortunately this will be deleted in all likelihood

 

Yeah I have and it is good. I like a lot of his films, especially many of the ones he did in the 60s through to the 80s as they're the ones I grew up on. I love most of his westerns but I also have a soft spot for some of his not so famous films he did back then too (not directed just starred in). The Beguiled and Coogan's Bluff being two of them that spring to mind. The later isn't all that but I enjoyed watching it back then. He's done so many others I like too though.

 

I didn't see this before I wrote my last post as I was over on IMDB looking through his filmography mid post trying to refresh my memory. I love The Beguiled and Play Misty For Me. Where Eagles Dare is great too. I've seen The Gauntlet but I remember very little about it.

 

Great minds think alike. I love Coogan's Bluff too. Nice early 70's NY atmosphere, another film of his that's really good but sleazy as hell is Tightrope that he did with Genevieve Bujold :love And The Eiger Sanction as well.

The image of the bus being shot up in The Gauntlet has lingered with me since I was a kid I finally saw it again like 5 years ago and it still held up.

 

I think I enjoyed most of these to varying degrees. Some might not be all that but I was young when I saw them. There are also quite a lot of his post 80s ones I haven't seen and some of his others from then and before I've seen but don't remember.

In no order

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
A Fistful of Dollars
For a Few Dollars More
Play Misty for Me
The Beguiled
Thunderbolt and Lightfoot
High Plains Drifter
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Pale Rider
Sudden Impact
Heartbreak Ridge
Bird
Unforgiven
Dirty Harry
City Heat
High Plains Drifter
Magnum Force
Escape from Alcatraz
The Enforcer
Kelly's Heroes
Two Mules for Sister Sara
Paint Your Wagon
Million Dollar Baby (did find some of the scenes in this really corny though)
Hang 'Em High
Gran Torino
Coogan's Bluff
Where Eagles Dare

 

Well that explains it then. I think it was only that kid who I recall thinking it about. The script was bad in parts too though and I'm sure whoever wrote that didn't have the excuse of being a total novice.

I didn't actually know that about that being the only film he died on screen. I don't even remember that scene to be honest.

 

Yes Coogan's Bluff is a slightly odd one of his but good. I think it's on Youtube actually.

I honestly don't remember hardly anything about Tightrope and The Eiger Sanction as it's been decades since I've seen them. I'm sure I probably enjoyed them when I did see them though

 

I rank them according to my preferences.

I know the feeling lately.

Its getting to the point that I legitimately have forgotten more than some people will ever know.atsch

 

WTF? :fire

 

I'm not even joking I honestly can't remember the last time I watched a movie. It's years not months. atsch

 

I should have a * next to Josey Wales its been like 20 years since I've seen it, and as far as Fistful of Dollars goes......I love the first half but it peters out towards the end and kind of falls apart and I prefer Yojimbo to it.:conf
