Requesting a Western

[EL-SHAIEB SHAHIR]

     Anybody up for a modern interpretation of the Western?  You can't go 
     wrong if you check out John Woo's impeccable "The Killer"-- Somewhat 
     Americanized Hong Kong two-gun assassin struggling with the death of 
     honor and the sense of becoming an "outmoded" character, something 
     like the Peckinpah western.
     
     Also, Bogdanovich's "Last Picture Show" provides some deeply affecting 
     discussion with Hawks' "Red River" and film in general.  Very intense 
     movie.

The Bad And The Ugly" was the best western ever, ever, ever?"
     
Hmmmm -- maybe, but I'm kind of partial to "Once Upon a Time in the West" 
with Charles Bronson as a good (?) guy and Henry Fonda as the villain.
