My Outlaw Brother (1951)

 A man travels to Texas to meet his estranged brother who now lives in Mexico. The border town he arrives at is being constantly raided by Mexican bandits. A sheriff is assigned the mission of going into Mexico and finding an American guy who is a lieutenant of the chief bandit. It turns out that the guy he is trying to meet with is the newly arrived man's brother.

Routine Western. The script has several weak spots. Overall this film is watchable but rather unexciting.

Rating: 36

Bang Bang (1971)

A guy argues with a taxi driver. Three outlaws ride in a car and terrorize everyone. A flamenco dancer dances on the top of a building. These characters interact in a freewheeling manner.

Plotless movie in which the characters behave in an absurd manner. Initially kind of funny, it soon devolves into sheer boredom, with plenty of noneventful sequences of moving cars. The ending suggests it's all a joke, and I suspect it's on the viewer.
