Re: [DL] The Art of Spaghetti Western

["Daniel Gwyn" <dgwyn@colba.net>]

Hi,
    For a couple of more horror oriented movies, I would like to suggest,
From Dusk 'till Dawn 3:  The Hangman's Daughter and The Ghost Brigade
(a.k.a. The Killing Box).
    As another possibility if you were thinking of taking the posse beneath
the waves in some Mad Scientist's submarine, I would strongly recommend "The
Hunley".  It is particularly effective if you have issues with
claustrophobia.
    Also, a couple of the movie titles other people have mentioned could
refer to more than one movie.  The Quick & the Dead (1994) with Sharon Stone
works better for Deadlands than an earlier film by the same title.
Conversely, with regards to the Magnificent Seven, go for the 1960 original
(or at least semi original because of Kurosawa) rather than the 1998 pilot
movie for a TV series of the same name.  The 1960 version has Yul Brynner,
Steve McQueen, James Coburn, Charles Bronson and Eli "Tuco" Wallach.
