"Silverado" is my kind of western; the good guys are really good,
and hit everything they shoot at; the bad guys are really bad,
and occasionally stupid.  This movie moves *fast*, has a lot of
characters to keep track of, and never takes itself too seriously.
John Cleese is hysterical as a small-town sheriff; however, at the
theater where I saw the flick, I was the only who got the joke when
he walked into the film and said "What's all this, then?"  I suppose
folks in St. Louis aren't Monty Python fans...

"Brother Orchid" shows up occasionally on the late show on your local
independent station; it's an old flick with Humphrey Bogart and
Edward G. Robinson.  Bogey's goons botch a hit attempt on Robinson,
who winds up hiding out and recuperating in a monastery.  Robinson
begins to lose some of his gangster attitudes, with interesting results.
It's worth staying up for, in my opinion.
