One of the finest Spaghetti's in the west! Banned for 25 years, it has lost nothing of its hard-edged impact. The gringos are bad and the law are worse! The hero, Django, dispenses justice from a smoking Gatling gun, and sounds like a dubbed Clint Eastwood. Absolutely superb! find out more...

A rip-roaring re-enactment of Ned Kelly, the man who led the police and indeed the British Empire a merry dance across the vast expanses of Australia's outback. Many of us may know the outcome and of his propensity to wear a wrought iron pot on his head to deflect the bullets of his many detractors, but this is Ned Kelly as folklore, a decent man fighting a dirty war against injustice. Not a history lesson Mr Schwama would approve of but good fun. find out more...

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 . find out more...

Jimmy Stewart plays the good brother whose sharp shootin' wins him the eponymous, and often fetishised, rifle in a riveting contest. The episodic story that follows tracks the rifle as it changes hands, from brother to brother, arms trader to Indian warrior, encouraging the viewer to realise that the true star of the film (and indeed the battle for the West) is the rifle. The actors, including a young Rock Hudson, seem to play their characters in the knowledge that they are very much in the back find out more...
