Unforgiven is all about the performances; its a wonderfully acted film, and actually just a cut above most westerns I believe. Anyway, Eastwood's character is hard, outright cold blooded in a lot of ways; its not a movie with any clear hero that's for sure. It just has to be seen. But it does move a little slow. Wonderful film, but this is coming from someone that isn't a huge fan of westerns though. I like a few, obviously ( I put a list up) but a western is not often my first choice.

Oh and Young Guns is great fun, I think it moves pretty well.

how is The Great Silence?
and how is it when compared to Django?
which has more action?

Both are pretty much incomparable. The Great Silence in in the same mold as the Leone movies...only set in the mountains and snow, ala Pale Rider. I think Sergio Corbucci did a straight lift from Leone's FAFDM for the whole outlaw angle, and mixed it with a tale of revenge. You ll be reminded of Pale Rider more than once (maybe Eastwood used this for his movie, who knows?). And of course, Ennio Morricone's score is awesome. Overall, you ll love it.

Django is an out-and-out action flick. The pace and the action is relentless. Its like the El Mariachi series, only with more action. Desperado was a shameless rip-off of Django, come to think of it.

My advice...watch both of em. Two great pieces of western cinema, if there ever was one. Ranked next to the Leone trilogy in my book.

thats my kinda movie.

If you plan on getting Django, look up its sequel too, Django Strikes Again. Although not as great as the original, its still a decent watch with lots of action, and the same central character, Franco Nero.

Seraphim Falls....Just watched and enjoyed the hell out of it. Beautiful visuals...great acting.....some good gore as well.:D

[Dante'sInferno]

My favorite western is Tombestone.Val Kilmer acting is flawless.

[Rob Bottin]

If it counts, Robert Rodriguez´s Desperado.

Seraphim Falls
-Pierce Brosnan, Liam Neeson

Three years after the Civil War, A former Confederate officer(Neeson) leads a posse into the snowy wilderness on the trail of an ex-Union soldier(Brosnan)to get revenge for a wartime horror.

Good acting, decent action and a good story. I enjoyed this movie
