An all time favorite that can be watched many times. The dialogues are iconic. I love the music.

Filmed in Spain by Italian filmmaker, this is the best Western ever made. With Hollywood actors but fittingly, not made in Hollywood, it was despised by the mainstream at the time, but also recognized for its genius and is the most famous part of the most famous Western trilogy. Building on a rich Italian storytelling and film making tradition, with unforgettable score, this movie has justly taken the place it now holds. If you have not seen it yet, do it. Equally subversive and authentic, this is just one master piece nobody should miss.

Sergio Leone really shot for the rafters with The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, and I think he succeeded beautifully. Together with Ennio Morricone's powerful, truly original, and unforgettable score, they have created an iconic film. Eastwood and Wallach are both perfectly cast and create rich and deep characters that I really enjoyed. This is a serious film dealing with some serious situations, but Leone very adeptly sprinkles it throughout with just the right amount of humor. I disagree that this film is slow paced and instead consider it to be evenly paced to a degree necessary to achieve the desired result.

The most famous Western movie is 'The Good, The Bad, And the Ugly' which is possible just this opinion but this is a favorite. Kind of way too tense at times but that is how it might have been back then. It captivates interest yet, even though it is a trinity with these 2 armies involved trying to duel each other in the midst. A good one,
