Unforgiven.

I'm way more into Sc-Fi movies and TV-shows such as Dr.Who and Star Trek that said; I suppose Cowboys and Aliens merges both Western and Sci-Fi genres quite well, another one is, TV-episode (Dr,Who) Town Called Mercy.

The Good, the Bad and the Weird (Chinese, no kidding)

Now that's got my interest - had to google it and it seems it Korean, not Chinese.

I love to see Zhang Yimou do a Western.

'Appaloosa'.

'The Proposition' (set in Australia, but it's a Western in all but location)

'Seraphim Falls' too, with Liam Neeson and Pierce Brosnan. Strange to have 2 Irishmen in the leading roles in a Western, but it's an excellent movie.

You're right - that one is indeed Korean. I was confusing it with "A Woman, a Gun, and a Noodle Shop", another good one. Although a period piece, it's not actually a Western. I dig Chinese, Korean and Japanese movies. They don't follow the predictable formulas that American movies do. I like to be surprised. If the topic was horror movies, I'd have some recommendations from those countries.

A Woman, a Gun, and a Noodle Shop is based on the Cohen Brothers "Wise Blood" and moved from Texas to China. - Directed by Zhang Yimou . I have not seen it yet. The cinematography in Zhang Yimou's movies is usually outstanding. They are worth watching for that alone.

My other favourite Chinese director is Wong Kar Wai. 2046 is such a strange one with a bizarre mix of 60' Hong Kong and Sci Fi imagery.
 
Sorry for hijacking the thread!

Most of the movies that I found to be borderline disturbing were Korean. And I'm not easily disturbed.

Great stuff.
