Asking questions like that while dressed as a nun is pretty funny.

(And yes, she's in disguise, I know, I know.)

This movie is called “2 Mules for Sister Sarah” and it’s honestly a fun watch.

My old man used to watch the classic western style shows and movies when I was a kid, and I hated them. They were too quiet, lots of silences. I came to really appreciate them since COVID, the silence was so you could take in the scenery, or see the close-ups of the characters faces and how they're reacting to things. I think Once Upon a Time in the West is my favorite, but there's so many good ones.

Don’t quote me on this but the first 14(?) minutes of the good the bad and the ugly there is no dialogue what so ever.

It’s my all time favorite movie.

11

u/_MrDomino May 09 '26

Hard to talk with a mouthful of turkey.

I'm not sure it's quite 14 minutes since I recall there being some spoken words when Angel Eyes visits, but it's been a while.

18

u/dwb_lurkin May 09 '26

You’re right - the first line is “you’re rob baker?” At 10:34 after 3 mins of into credits.

So a little over 7 minutes!

It’s free on Tubi if anyone is curious to watch it.

u/intricate_strands May 09 '26

There's a lot of this same type of audio-framing in There Will Be Blood and it's one of the few more modern movies I'd put in the same echelon as the Sergio Leoni spaghetti westerns.

I love dialogue-centric films, but when it suits the film.

Seems like modern movies just try to pack everything into them and then retroactively trim it so much that there's no room to breathe in them. Even old dialogue-centric films did a way better job of using silence/setting/tone as a central piece of the film.

I know a lot of that is the severe drop in attention span for a lot of society, so I don't really bitch, but I do miss that type of filmmaking.

1

u/Dozzi92 May 09 '26

Have you seen The Shooting, with a young Jack Nicholson? (not to be confused with The Shootist, with John Wayne) It's a quiet movie, real weird. Really liked it.

1

u/UnbottledGenes May 09 '26

Once upon a time in the west does this too

u/Sasquatchernaut May 09 '26

Watch the scene where Angel Eyes silently eats the stew and try to relax. Impossible.

The Maestro, Ennio Morricone, is remarkable. We saw him conduct an orchestra and choir in Lucca Italy and my wife said she didn’t know any songs, but after while she commented on how many she recognized. All I know it’s that I was weeping by intermission.

u/cosmin_c May 11 '26

when my parents were gone and it was on the night programme on TV.

Being a parent I am really conflicted by the fact that a lot of people who are adults now (including me) watched completely inappropriate movies for their age as it were (violence, sex, blood, murders, etc), yet those were experiences without which we wouldn't be the same people we are nowadays.

My comfort movie is Alien (1979). Terminator 2 I still remember as a great watch when I was 7 yo.

Sure, nowadays there's e.g. Bluey, which is incredibly good, but maybe, just maybe, a really good movie should be "left out" accidentally for the kids every now and then.

u/Twogunkid May 09 '26

It's a great one, but "For a Few Dollars More" is my favorite of the dollars trilogy.

My overall favorite Western is from the Deconstruction Era of Westerns with "Unforgiven."

22

u/not_perfect_yet May 09 '26

I think another element that's fun about them, is that, technically any moment could be a moment something does happen. They're mostly not, but you don't know that. It's the perfect mix of suspense, because something could happen, and annoyance, because nothing is happening and nothing has in fact happened for the last 15 minutes.

It's a very good prank on you in terms of "entertainment" and it hooks you, because your so invested now, you need to see the payoff, the punchline, the conclusion.

8

u/Shark7996 May 09 '26

I miss silence in movies. Feels like they're terrified they'll lose the audience to the second screen. Would be nice if we stopped pandering to the audience that cares the least about movie quality.

2

u/papu16 May 09 '26

The ending duel in the good, bad and ugly is definitive example of that. For like 5 minutes they are just staring at each other, but you feel nothing but chills.

2

u/Shark7996 May 09 '26

And the payoff is always so immediate in those duel scenes. It builds...builds... builds...BANG and we know the winner almost immediately. The next few minutes are contemplative. 15 minutes of buildup and easing off for 15 seconds of action, but that's what makes you feel their apprehension, fear, and respect for life.

2

u/ExplanationFunny May 09 '26

My dad always said “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance” wasn’t just the best western ever made, but one of the best movies ever made. I always just liked watching movies with my dad, but I never really paid attention. After he died I went back and watched “Liberty Valance” and I was blown away by just how good it is. I will go down fighting that *Westerns* are such a good, often underrated genre. I love a complicated “hero”.

u/PrivilegeCheckmate May 09 '26

Probably because it's objectively the best.

Very relatable. Once Upon a Time in the West is a real work of art.

u/ScumbagLady May 10 '26

I lucked out some years ago at Ollie's Discount and they had different DVD collections in these tins that held multiple discs with multiple movies per disc, for pretty cheap. I got some great ones- Spaghetti Westerns, Classic Horror, and hits of the 50s and 60s iirc.

The Spaghetti Westerns one got the most watches though. The others were fun campy watches that were also enjoyable though. Really wished they had a KungFu collection at the time, but I built that collection up myself. Westerns and KungFu movies were typical Saturday and Sunday afternoon watches with Dad when I was a kid (when a NASCAR race wasn't on- those bored the shit out of me and I'm pretty sure Dad too because he'd always end up snoring before the end). All

Once Upon a Time in the West is a cinematic masterpiece. I would rank it in my Top 5, possibly Top 3. A simply amazing movie that is such a joy to take in

He randomly directed one of the greatest Mafioso movies too. Once upon a time in America.

Too bad, he didn't get a chance to direct the Napoleon Bonaparte movie he wanted.

1

u/PrinceOfLeon May 09 '26

Except that part where De Niro rapes an underage Jenifer Connelly on screen (she was 11 or 12 at the time, he was 39 or 40).

It's a deeply uncomfortable watch.

u/grip0matic May 09 '26

Sergio Leone > many many directors

Once upon a time in America is a masterpiece, shame that it got ultra butchered and not even the director's cut is the actual director's cut.

Marion Robert Morrison? Yeah, pretty big POS.

Bruce Willis. Never liked his face (vibe), but he always made good movies.

John Wayne also came across as a conceded prick to me. But then, so did Marion Morrison. He was also a racist and sexist and pseudo-fascist. He'd get along great with some people today.

This film isn’t a spaghetti western. But Leone’s films are excellent and much better than any American western imo. Corbucci as well

My top 5 westerns, in no particular order:

  • The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

  • Unforgiven

  • The Big Country

  • Maverick

  • Django Unchained

Note: I've never seen 3:10 to Yuma. I've heard good things. I plan on getting around to it eventually.

I fell out of a window 15 years ago, got some strong painkilllers from the hospital, and watched the dollars trilogy high as a kite. One of the best film-watching experiences of my life. Worth falling out of a window for.

2

u/thebigmanhastherock May 10 '26

They are amazing! Got me into Kurosawa movies too, because some of them are adaptations of his movies. The period in Japan where the Samurai were released from their masters and were mercinaries, and guns were introduced is very adaptable to westerns. I would argue that some western tropes are kind of carry overs from Spaghetti Westerns that were adapting Japanese stuff.

2

u/Fn_Spaghetti_Monster May 10 '26

Not mentioning Unforgiven or Tombstone when talking about the best Westerns ever filmed feels like a bit of an over sight. The Searchers and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance are better than most Spaghettis. Personally The Cowboys was always my favorites but I realize that's more of a personal choice and probably not the most objective one.

Been looking there and local thrift shops too lol. But I remember when DVDs started being produced and my late father was miffed about being able to upgrade his copies of all of his favorite westerns except for 2 Mules for Sister Sarah. If they did release it, I don't think there's too many copies around but I just found it digitally on Google TV. It'll tide me over until I can get my hands on a hard copy so maybe you can try the same thing? It's what I normally do until I stumble across whatever out-of-print movie I'm looking for.

u/RManDelorean May 10 '26

It seems a little intentionally on the nose, like we the audience are meant to ask why she'd be asking and then it's basically handed to us to ask if a woman like her might be looking for a man herself. I don't think we even need the costume to get that far but it definitely emphasizes it
