I see nobody mentioned 'Bad Day at Black Rock, set in the fifties if I recall, but still a western and nice and mean, with some great acting!

Ooh-err... Spoiled for choice now for westerns! Need to see how many of those I can access via my usual sources

Geoff can compile a list of an all-new genre: 'Fucked-up films that mess with your head'

Road House.

That was a Western, and a bloody good one.
(Anything by John Ford is also available)


...but seriously, Roadhouse is a good Western, watch it again.

Hobsons Choice. 1954.. Directed by David Lean.

One if my favs

'The Bunker' 1981

TV film about Hitler's last days with Anthony Hopkins as Hitler. Highly rated but I've never seen it until now. Allegedly, Hopkins was so convincing as Hitler that the actors playing the German guards snapped to attention as soon as he walked on the set.

It's pretty good but isn't as good as the awesome 'Downfall' which covers exactly the same ground. Also it's far too kind in its protrayal of Albert Speer.

Late night film.. Enemy of the State. 1998. Stars Will Smith and Gene Hackman.
Directed by Tony Scott.
Great supporting cast too, and taut political thriller in the vein of The Conversation
