If you have not done so already, describe your objections to the artistic value of Unforgiven, being concise yet thorough. I respect your judgments in these matters, but enjoying the film as I do, I would like to hear a counterargument.

BTW: G,B,U in a walk.

Unforgiven is a marvellously layered film, with subtle performances, and interesting and startling script with many flashes of inspiration and honesty that make you feel both entertained and enlightened about man's inhumanity - and humanity - to man. A great film in many, many ways

TGTGATU: Magnificent, operatic, epic music, cinematography and action. The backdrop is a war, and the three fantastic, superhuman characters - warriors - stride through it like you or I would wander a summer orchard, building to a crescendo unmatched in all of cinema.

To summarise:

Unforgiven: wow!
TGTBATU: WOW!

Re: Greatest Western of All Time - Championship
 

so far so good.

both of these are on the 100 films list (to pimp my own thing). whoever wins i'll bump to the top of the list.

Re: Greatest Western of All Time - Championship
 

diebitter,

I had a tough decision here, but I made it in round one or two since it was obvious this would be the final (or the de facto final if they got paired earlier). I think my analysis comes closer to:

Unforgiven: WOW!!!!!
TGTBATU...: WOW!!!!!!

btw, Enio Moricone, who wrote the score for G/B/U (and all of Leone's films) is the greatest soundtrack composer ever IMO. His work is just phenomenal.

p.s. The damn quick reply keeps giving me a "form no longer valid" error.

Re: Greatest Western of All Time - Championship
 

TGTBTU in a landslide.

Unforgiven should not be its competitor in the finals. How the best Western Star of all-time is not in the finals is beyond me.
