The best of the spaghetti westerns as our three heroes form short lived alliances to try and find some hidden gold during the Civil War. The music, those long low angled shots and the tall silent men - wonderful!

THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE (1962)
CertificationU Our Rating
One of the finest of the genre, this classic western follows two men whose initial contempt for each other's methods, one a hard man rancher, the other a naively honest lawyer, develops into respect when faced with the the town's local hoodlum. Tense, absorbing and not without wit. Superb.

TOMBSTONE (1993)
Certification15 Our Rating
Wyatt Earp and his gang are back. Yet another shoot-out at the OK Corral, but this time that's not the end as the film follows the two sides to the death. A well made and gripping film with the show somewhat stolen by Val Kilmer as a dandy Doc Holliday, shooting first, quoting Latin later! Superb rootin' tootin' entertainment .

UNFORGIVEN (1992)
Certification15 Our Rating
Reformed hellraiser William Munny saddles up for one last killing, hoping the bounty will help him raise his children. But the steel has softened, and the killing doesn't come so easy any more. More real than any other Western, Clint's creation is bleak, black, desperate and brilliant.
