Rating: - The most underated star in America
Willie Nelson should get more respect. This is his second best movie(Red Headed Stranger his best). This is a good movie bottom line. The problem is in the casting. Bussey isn't believable, the German family isn't either. Gilbert Roland and all the Latino's are perfect. I would like to see Willie get a more hip agent or manager. He's not a big star on Broadway maybe but a solid performace and one of the greatest singer's and songwriter's in America today. Have you ever looked at his songwriting credits? ... Read More

- Great wide-screen Western, bad DVD
"Barbarosa" is one of my very favorite Westerns -- indeed, one of my favorite films. Its character development is impressive, its wide-screen cinematography is exceptional. Both Willie Nelson and Gary Busey are just right in their roles. But the only DVD currently available is "full-screen," i.e., with half the wide-screen picture eliminated. I won't buy this truncated version -- so when will we get the real thing on DVD?

- DVD Leaves Out Vital Scene
This well-filmed western tells the story of two outlaws who join together after each one is unfairly ostracized by his family. The original film contained a critical explanation toward the end of how a common enemy can strengthen a group of people, increasing their resilience and giving them a sense of purpose. But, alas, for some inconceivable reason, that scene with the great actor Gilbert Roland (playing the patriarch of the Zavala family) was cut. Imagine "Citizen Kane" without the explanation of "Rosebud." ... Read More
Rating: - Barbarosa, a different look at the old west.
I've always loved the movie, since first seeing it on Cinemax in the early 80's. I was happy with the DVD quality.
Rating: - Best of the Willie Westerns
B-A-R-B-A-R-O-S-A!!!!!!!The best, by far of the Willie Westerns. Both lead performances (Nelson & Busey) are what you would expect from each actor, yet at the same time over the top and flawless. A must have for any western fan even though it is pan-scan 4:3. Let us hope that we soon get a proper widescreen version, Please!
