Pans Labyrinth on 35mm

you're always mentioning 35mm. what does that mean? and do you have a specific theatre near you that plays in that format?

The Swedish Film Institute has an initiative, where they are showing older films - organized via different themes (like e.g. one this spring being "Guillermo Del Toro"). A number of these films are brought up from the national film archive and shown on original theatrical 35mm prints. Sadly, each season more and more of these films are shown on digital DCP copies instead - and sadly, while they in Stockholm at the Institutes own cinema get 100+ showings every season here in Gothenburg we are maybe getting a select 20 of them at a local art house cinema. So I'm trying to catch the prints I can being shown here.

I imagine your film institute might have something similar? Or a private arthouse cinema with a saved 35mm projector might show prints, if you live in a larger city?

This is the only “arthouse” I know of in Winnipeg. Doesn’t mention anything about older formats.

They showed Donnie Darko on 35mm this past november atleast:

I loved Flow.

Spiritual_Chaos · February 20

Watched the Liberty Valance movie. I prefered High Noon.

Westerns is a boring genre.

Now I’m onto True Grit

I can honestly say I don't think I've watched one single western. Not even the ones that everyone went apeshit over in the 90's. I think I caught a few minutes of one in the 80's when my grampa accidentally taped the wrong channel when he was supposed to be taping Saturday Night's Main Event for me. Imagine me, at 12 years old...GUTTED.

CarryTheZero · February 20

Good Westerns are great. Try watching Tombstone, Fistful of Dollars, or The Wild Bunch.

Out of the box westerns, try Quick and the Dead.

Depressing, go for Hostiles.

Of if you need something modern, just watch the original run of Justified. Best show ever.

My grandma loved “wrasslin’”. She would have been GUTTED as well.

I'm not generally a fan of westerns at all, but there are a handful of really amazing stand outs for me:

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Unforgiven

The Revanant

Dances with Wolves (i think that qualifies)

True Grit (2010)

Brokeback Mountain (one of my favourite films ever)

The Power of the Dog

There Will Be Blood (also one of my favourite films ever)

Django Unchained (obviously)

The Hateful Eight isn't bad.

I know there are a couple more I'm not remembering. But most westerns, particularly old ones, suck ass IMO, especially John Wayne ones.

Surely you've seen some of those HFD??

k, I've seen the bolded. After I wrote I had never seen one, I guess I meant I hadn't seen any of the classic ones (pre 2000's). And I guess I never considered Brokeback a western.

Yeah, I agree that classic westerns are generally awful. I would like to encourage you to watch The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly though. It really is a masterpiece.

Eastwood has a shitload

Hang Em High
Outlaw Josey Wales
Pale Rider was ok
The Fistfull/Few Dollars/Good Bad Trilogy
Joe Kidd
High Plains Drifter
Unforgiven was great

I even liked Bronco Billy

Oh yeah. Hang Em High and High Plains Drifter are also good ones. Especially the latter - it is so dark and artistic. Eastwood westerns were largely their own genre almost, compared to the rest of the classics. They were so much more creative. His westerns were like the Johnmy Cash of movies, lol.

Blazing Saddles is the ultimate western.
