Thread: Those old westerns

I'm a Clint Eastwood fan.
The real early westerns are funny to me. Plus having greeks and italians play the indians didn't help.

That is some funny stuff. Greeks/Italians. ROFLMAO.
I don't know why it reminded me, but it did when you said the real early westerns were funny. When I was a Boy Scout, our Scoutmaster used to have our meetings in the basement of a local church. There was a projector and screen there and he used to run those real old cowboy movies backwards. And of course the cowboys riding backwards into town, then walking backwards into the saloon. I remember some of them were talkies and there would be gibberish coming out of their mouths. You talk about funny to a kid.....with the smoke going back into the guns and the horses running backwards. Man oh man, it was hoot and holler time for us kids. That is one of my fondest memories of my childhood.

one of my favorite westerns is magnificent 7. what a great movie with a great soundtrack. One western actor that i did not see and that i enjoy was eli wallach. perfect bad guy. I am also a fan of the spaghetti westerns. The sound that they dubbed for the winchester rifle was always funny. must be that all guns in italy squeak.

Yeah, I know what you mean about the rifle sounds. Another funny thing of the old westerns was how the cowboys got 100 rounds out of a 6 shooter without reloading.

Don
