Has anyone here seen Ang Lee's Ride with the Devil from 1999? I'm rather interested in checking that one out, and I was wondering what other people thought of it.
Also... There Will Be Blood. Does that qualify as a Western to anyone else? As you can see, my parameters are pretty broad, and I think it narrowly qualifies. I include it mainly because of its strong thematic connection with The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, both Fred C. Dobbs and Daniel Plainview both being very troubled, greedy and misanthropic madmen.
Both placed very highly and back-to-back on the MoFo Top 100 Westerns, at #15 and #14, wedged between A Fistful of Dollars and The Outlaw Josey Wales on the countdown.
