After nominating For a Few Dollars More and The Good the Bad and the Ugly for Free Flick of the Day, I'm going to sound like a very old and tired drum by nominating Hang 'Em High . But hey, you need something to watch today and it's just sitting there, waiting for someone to notice it. Hang 'Em High isn't a great film by any means, and it's not a very remarkable Western.

Trilogies make for good conversation fodder. My preferred trio is the Bourne movies, because the first movie was really good and then the series got better and, inexplicably, even better in round three. That just doesn't happen that much.

And the weird part came when we both figured [...]
