In this world there are 2 types of people, those who love 'The Good, The Bad and the Ugly' and those who dig!
You dig?
She's digging.. "I'm so bored". 😢
In this world there are 2 types of people: those who ad bad on making list, those who are bad at math and those who dig
@@mytholictim ...exactly. How can that even be/
They got themselves into the hole now they can sit in it
This is not only the greatest western of all time, it’s one of the greatest films of all time. It’s a masterpiece on every level.👍
Once Upon A Time In The West
As good as this movie is, Once Upon a Time in the West is even better.
They had to have mixed it with something man...
that soundtrack!
I agree.
Eli Wallach steals every scene he’s in; I would have given him an Oscar ❤🎉😊
Eli Wallace is so underrated. Its a sin.
@@aircablenetwork8581 FFS It's Eli Walach!
I loved his portrayal in the Magnificent Seven.
I heard during a break in Mag7, he and his "gang" stayed in full costume and walked into a local bar. Imagine the sight and the o-shit reaction of the patrons.
Who tf is Eli Wallace? It's Wallach! Get it right or shut up.
My all time favourite sidebuddy ❤
What Tuco snorted after looting the stagecoach was snuff, which is dried, powdered tobacco.
Quite true.
What does it do?
@@CSC52698 Makes you sneeze =]
It's a tobacco, a shot of nicotine. There's a smoking tobacco, there's a chewing one, and there is a snorting one of various flavours.
If you snort little bit harder you get a short rush akin to eating a strong horseradish. Don't be too curious, it's unhealthy and not really worth it (unless you are already addicted to nicotine, I guess).
"Why do you want marshmallows?"
"Because there's some on the kitchen table."
Hard to argue with that logic.
She totally ate the whole bag, too. Lol
Tuco's best line!
BecauSSSe
So cute.😆
My daughter is only a few years older than that, and this was absolutely adorable :)
This is an absolute epic. One of the greatest movies of all time.
and once upon a time in the west gets zero love from reactors for some reason
The reason Eli Wallach wears his gun on string around his neck is because he couldn't holster his gun fast and properly.The crew and everyone were getting annoyed,no matter how much they taught him,he couldn't do it.Also during the train scene when he was cutting his chains,he barely missed getting his head chopped off from the extended step on the train.If he raised his head he would have been dead.
That’s kind of terrifying yet good to know.
And as is customary I will add that Clint Eastwood could have been killed by big boulder that tore into the sandbags next to him as they blew the bridge for real but used far too much explosive.
Lee Van Cleef could have beaten a cobra in a stare down competition.
The cemetery is still there! It was made for the movie so not a real cemetery, but fans found it a few years ago and restored it back how it was in the movie. They made a documentary about it as well called Sad Hill Unearthed.
A special mention goes to the beautiful music of Ennio Morricone, an Italian pride
Yes,he belongs in the ranks of Vivaldi,Verdi and other great Italian composers.
Indeed, the Danish Symphony Orchestra did their version of the music music, it's well worth a listen and it's on TH-cam.
He does the music for The Thing and won an Academy award for his unused Thing music on The Hateful Eight.
Tuco's advantage is he is always underestimated; he's a lot smarter than he seems.
L'estasi dell oro (The Ecstasy of Gold) which plays as Tuco runs through the cemetery is one of the greatest pieces of modern composition I've ever heard.
@@andrewcharles459 fun part was Ennio Mericine already wrote the music before the scene, and Sergio Leone just shoot and edited accordingly with it.
It’s a truly magnificent and poignant piece of music.
More than a decade ago an Ennio Morriconi tribute album was released and this song was Metallica's contribution.
And used as an intro piece at Metallica concerts when they get on the stage and plug in before playing....
I think my favorite scene is the Captain of the Union soldiers at the bridge. His smile of relief when he hears the bridge is destroyed and ends the stupidity of the back and forth fight over it. To me, it's a really heart breaking death.
Also love the part when clint covers up that soldier and gives him one last drag of his cigar before dies.
@@MitchClement-il6iq definitely. That part is definitely why they call Clint's character the "Good". He shows compassion right there and was a sad and touching scene.
@@MitchClement-il6iq that scene was short, but got me the most.
it was very symbolic scene
@@tr3buh For sure!
"I'm so bored" watching one of the greatest and most suspenseful scenes ever. I think I want to die.
That was just how she decided to express her anxiety in the scene. Time sensitive moments make her really anxious and unsettle and she just wants it to end. An uncontrollable reaction she has to those sort of moments.
@@YouMeTheMoviesshe’s the worst - such a sour personality! The guy is a saint to put up with her
In the extended version of the film, there's a scene where after Tuco leaves the gun shop, he goes to his old hideout, where he hooks up with his old gang. That's why he has a gang with him at the hotel.
Yeah, I don't why Mr Movies picked the American theatrical cut.
@@Agent57000DMprobably because it's the better cut! Extended version didn't have much great scenes and clint voice was dubbed by a impersonater.
I've only ever seen the "If you work for a living, why do you kill yourself working?" version and didn't knowbit was the extended version lol
Was going to say.. I know I've seen that scene somewhere.
@@MitchClement-il6iq Wrong - Eastwood & Wallach came back to re-dub their lines - only Van Cleef had an impersonator cos he was dead by then! Jesus will you people stop spouting stuff as facts you have absolutely no clue about?!
The greatest Western EVER!!!
...many others, but this one is for the soul.
I think Once Upon A Time still takes the cake. It is more accomplished and truly is a pinnacle of Leone's career. But this one has unrivaled charm.
@@alexeyserov5709 ...point taken.
Tuco grabbing the serving bowl instead of refilling his plate makes me laugh every single time.
Everything he does makes me laugh. Such a great character.
Eli Wallach set the standard for the "lovable scoundrel" playing Tuco.
The tragedy of his family added a huge amount of character for such a scoundrel.
Very true.
This is my favorite movie of all time. Not just because of the way it was filmed but the childhood nostalgia it brings me.
Best line of the movie " one basterd goes in another basterd comes out
"If you have to shoot, shoot, don't talk"
To hell with all you sheriffs and deputies...and the women who gave birth to you😂
Look at him he gave him the filthy money, Judas...you sold my height"
Trevor, it is BASTARD, no "e". And Phil, he sold his HIDE. Hey, I used to be an Editor.
@@bobschenkel7921 wow, I typed his rant about sheriff's and deputies...not out of hate but because it's in the movie and these word cops at TH-cam didn't let it post...a line from a classic movie was too much I guess, but I can get on TH-cam and hear the actual rant????makes no sense
Once upon a time in the west is Sergio Leone's masterpiece
This is a really good western movie.But! my all time fav western movie is Once Upon A Time In The West.
Once upon time in the west
Best western ever made imo. By far.
"The Ecstasy of Gold" probably pushes this one over the top to indeed be Morricone's best loved soundtrack but "the Untouchables", "The Mission" , "Casualties of War", & "Once Upon A Time In The West" are way up there too, it's almost like you can't go wrong with Ennio Morricone and there is something for everyone.
@RussellCHall, His score for The Red Tent is movingly evocative, as well.
Fun fact : the part where Tuco is at the gun store building guns , he didn't know what he was doing. The director told him " Just Pretend like you know what you're doing - the part of the bridge blowing up , the director didn't call Action and they blew it up early. Took them aboutv1 week to rebuild it - the final scene at the cemetery in Spain after the movie and many yrs was in ruins. They restored it.
Nothing fun about that.
Drug it OUT??!....this why I always HATE watching this kinda movie with females...you can tell they don't exactly get it...and I'm gonna pay for it later on 10x over ...by having to watch " you've got mail" or some other chikflik...by the way that final showdown's length was PERFECTION!....
That was just how she decided to express her anxiety in the scene. Time sensitive moments make her really anxious and unsettle and she just wants it to end. An uncontrollable reaction she has to those sort of moments.
@@YouMeTheMovies Well...since I love this channel so much...i'll let it pass...but its tough to hear ANY criticism of the Good the Bad and the Ugly...😄...make up for it by reacting to a couple of movie classics I've never seen ANYONE react to...1974s The Longest Yard...much better than the remake..and 1971s Murphy's War...savaged by critics and bombed at the box office..I think because of Vietnam antiwar sentiment... Its sooo underrated...I guarantee ...nobody else will have it on their list...its brilliant ..betcha still hafta pay with a tearjerker...😁...hope yer daughter didn't end up with a tummy ache...I'd of eaten the WHOLE BAG...marshmallows.... Mmmm..mmm..good...😋
Many people have mentioned that Clint Eastwood's "Man with no Name" was based on Akira Kurosawa's 'Yojimbo,' which was the inspiration for 'A Fistful of Dollars.' But 'Yojimbo' was actually inspired by the Dashiell Hammett crime novel, 'Red Harvest,' and both "Yojimbo" and the "Man with no Name" were based on "The Continental Op," the unnamed detective from 'Red Harvest' and many of Hammett's other mystery stories.
Kurosawa was also a fan of westerns so the influences all go both ways.
Good to know.
"The poor guy's minus an eye"
Dude, you're walking around on your belly button with no legs..
Also: " I would be scared to be put in his shoes " The last thing the half a soldier needs is shoes.
According to certain background information, the actor playing the "half soldier" was a veteran of the Spanish Civil War (1936-39), and lost his lower torso in an explosion during a battle. His appearance was brief, but it's certainly another unforgettable scene from one of the best motion pictures in history!
@@larrymartinez9576 It's amazing what human beings can go through and survive. Truly unforgettable.
YES!!
The final chapter in the Man With No Name Series AKA The DOLLARS Trilogy.
The music is very impressive and inspirational for a lot of rock bands today!
Once upon a time in the West. Henry Fonda, Jason Robards, Charles Bronson, Woody Strode, Jack Elam and of course the lovely Claudia Cardinale. All of them are Stars in their own right. An excellent story told by a fantastic script. Ennio writes the music, Sergio does the directing.
Angel Eyes wasn't lying to the guy in his first scene: the implication was "I'm here to kill you, but I need the name first". That's why he brought up his family; the family wasn't his target, but they'd be expendable IF he didn't give up the name. The man tried to bribe him $1000 to spare his life, but he refused, and instead took the money as payment for an assassination (so he could excuse the murder of his employer, and potential competitor for the money, as "just a job").
I love how films like this set a new standard for westerns after it.
..did They now? (at the time!)
An impossible standard, no western since this has even come remotely close.
@@Mr.Goodkat "Once Upon A Time in the West?"
@@Shadowman4710 The pacing killed it for me, I appreciate the cinematography and music but it just doesn't put a dent in TGTBATU which had it all.
lmao adding the closeups of yourselves at the end was genius. Moments like that are why I'm subbed.
How to spoil one of the greatest moments in any film, "I'm bored"
47:10 - ECSTASY OF GOLD. This musical composition is distinctive due to the techniques that Morricone incorporated. This consisted of using various instruments and samples such as a soprano singer and chiming bells.
In reality, a movie set, the Sad Hill Cemetery, was built in three days by 250 Spanish soldiers in the Mirandilla Valley, about 140 miles north of Madrid in Burgos, Spain.
The stuff going up the nose is snuff (tobacco powder).
Tried that back in the 80s, didn't enjoy it.
The gun that opened for reloading by flipping down the lever is a Galand revolver. It was actually introduced in 1868, six years after the setting of the movie. One of the other revolvers is a Bodeo M1889, which was introduced over 25 years after the movie is set.
All the guns are cartridge conversions because it's easier to fire blanks. Cartridge conversions didn't happen until after the war. Wild Bill Hickok, for example, carried cap and ball pistols. At least Henry rifles were a thing during the war.
@@bsb1975 Yeah. They even flip back and forth sometimes. Tuco fires a cartridge conversion in the tub. But, it immediately changes to a cap and ball percussion gun in the close up.
There was several times during the production that Eli Wallach was almost killed. He was almost decapitated by the steps of the train that broke his handcuff chains
Well if the wife didn't like, and picked apart "A Fistfull of Dollars" she's really going to hate this film.
Seemed like she really enjoyed it
@@thegamingalien5476 she was bored during the best duel in film history in the end. "Get on with it, I'm so bored".
@@NecramoniumVideo yeah she cracks me up. As guys we can immerse ourselves in it, we can imagine what they are thinking and as the tension builds we are on the edge of our seats... A lot of women aren't like that, they're thinking, get on with it I've got stuff to do. Lmao
But Mrs Movies doesn't like drawn out scenes from any type of movie, so at least she's consistent.
You should give A Korean film a watch by Kim Jee Woon called " The Good The bad the weird " it's a homage to the spaghetti westerns . The dvd had three different ending
@davidwatson22, Mr. mentioned having seen it.
Clint Eastwood's directorial debut was Play Misty for Me (1971). Your favorite western will no longer be this film after you watch Once Upon a Time in the West. And it's iconic score from Morricone.
Quite obviously one of the most famous westerns whether you like westerns or not almost everyone has heard of this and the iconic theme ,
I'm just grateful to be here and enjoy this classic this afternoon despite what other hassles i have going on .
Thanks as always to Mr and Mrs Movies 🤠🙏.
When are you watching Unforgiven (1992) ?
Great movie . You should watch My Name Is Nobody 1973
(A movie Sergio Leoni wrote but not directed) a very funny spaghetti western I highly recommend you see it.
Also Young Guns two movie westerns and The Quick and the dead 1995 western. Also there is Nevada Smith with Steve Mcqueen and Red River with John Wayne. Also a great movie with Steve Mcqueen Charles Bronson and James Cobran (All in this movie) is The Great Escape.
Tuco is so slimey, underhanded, and sh!t talking… I end up kind of loving him for it lol
Tuco is glue of the movie. It would never have made it to it level of appreciation without the Blonds friend.
Huh? Define Slimey, human?
If you haven't seen this movie yet , you should : COOL HAND LUKE .
I think Morricone’s score for Once Upon a Time in the West is even better.
One of Eli Wallach's best performances is in "The Misfits" from 1961...with Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, and Montgomery Clift.
It's The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly... I mean, what else is there to say? ❤
The ‘short’ cannon is a howitzer.
This lady is the worst - that guy must be a saint to put up with her.
the final showdown is just EPIC. one of my favorite scenes ever.
and she hated it
@@NecramoniumVideo There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who enjoy a tense stare-off before a duel with one of the best pieces of music ever written, and those with ADHD. She has ADHD.
I recommend "Shane" 1953, "The Shootist" 1976, "High Plains Drifter" 1973, "Pale Rider" 1985, "Unforgiven" 1992, "The Quick and the Dead" (1995), "Quigley Down Under" 1990, "Lonesome Dove" (Mini-series)1995, "The Outlaw Josey Wales" 1976, "Open Range" 2003, "Hang'em High" 1968, "Silverado" 1985, "True Grit" (Both versions), "Rio Bravo" 1959, "The Magnificent Seven" 1960. "Tombstone" 1993, "Rooster Cogburn" 1975, "Big Jake" 1971, "Support Your Local Sheriff" 1969.
@@socalpaul487 A very fine list, but I would add “My Darling Clementine,” “Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid,” “The Grey Fox,” and finally “The Searchers.”
I thought “Unforgiven” celebrated revenge, so have mixed feelings about it.
loved the reaction editing during the duel scene
I will second ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST as even better. Throw in my favorite, SHANE, which Eastwood sort of remade as Pale Rider.
Tuco should've had his own film series! Eli Wallach is one of the best, underappreciated actors of all time!
I named my cat Tuco
Don't forget to check out Sergio Leone's next two films, "Once Upon a Time in the West" and "Duck, You Sucker!"
Add to that his final film “Once Upon a Time in America”
mnaah 1 of two!
Eli Wallace was a great villain in another epic western. The Magnificent 7. Outstanding film.
Most of the extras in this film were Italian and it was indeed filmed in Spain.
After doing "For a Few Dollars More" Lee Van Cleef stayed in Europe for several years and starred in a number of other spaghetti westerns. The Sabata Trilogy (1969-1971) is probably his best known role in the genre outside Leone's films.
I'm kinda glad you watched this version instead of the extended. They remastered the sound effects and the guns don't sound the same in the extended version. It's a small thing, but it makes a difference.
There are certain scenes in the extended version where Clint's (supposedly) and Eli's voices clearly don't sound like they did in the original movie. Maybe they were recorded for the latter version 20, possibly 30 years later?
🎉This Is Indeed A Cult Classic for Clint !!! Yet you should watch ( once upon A Time in the west ) as Well with Henry Fonda & Charles Bronson or If You want a More romantic Western perhaps John Wayne ( Angel & The Bad Man ) 😊 Yet if you want A Comedy ( Maclintock )
@yellowbeardjamesgibson9297, Your recommendations are very well considered, but I'd hardly limit this movie's following and reputation to be of a cult status.
Cult classic? Lol. It’s considered a classic. Period.
@@GatorScribe726Thank you for your comment & As One who own Almost 7 K Hard Copy DVDs including Westerns of All types knows them as Cult classics from John Wayne , Henry Fonda ,Charles Bronson, Yule Brenner ,Steve McQueen , & Many , Many More including the Spaghetti Westerns of Clint Eastwood can say they are considered By Many as Cult classics for the Man with no Name From High plains Drifter , Hang'em High to A Few Dollars More
From Ben ,- Hurr to El Sid some Would Even consider Jim Henson & David Bowie In Labyrinth ,To Tom Cruise in Legend could Be considered cult classics being 50 years Old
Yet that's My Humble Opinion 😎💯👍
Eli Wallach was actually a captain in the US Army during WWII. He served in North Africa and France during the war. Clint Eastwood was drafted during the Korean War but never left stateside.
The only issue I have with this movie is the fact that Tuco is supposed to be so in tune with his pistol yet he doesn’t notice that it’s a different weight after it’s unloaded. For the other two parts of the greatest western trilogy watch the movies “How The West Was Won” and “Once Upon a Time In The West.” That covers three of the greatest western movies ever made.
49:00 - DUH! - "Who do you think is going to win the duel?"
Mr. Movies ALWAYS asks Mrs. Movies questions that have obvious answers. A regular feature of their movie reactions I expectantly await.
This groundbreaking Italian western classic is a masterpiece directed by Sergio Leone.
The actors are all really superb.
But Eli Wallach as Tuco is outstanding.
And the masterful music by Ennio Morricone (--> Morricone received the Oscar for his life's work in 2007 and another in 2016 for the music to the film “The Hateful Eight”) makes this film with its brilliant finale an absolute delight.
Chronologically speaking, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly takes place during the Civil War, BEFORE the events of the first two movies, A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More. That's why "Blondie" doesn't have his signature poncho until the end of the film, when he finds it next to that dying Confederate soldier whom he covers with his overcoat.
No, that is not true - you're letting yourself get fooled by that poor poncho. Think again - did "Angel Eyes" reincarnate and become Colonel Mortimer? The films are three separate entities.
@@Vinterfrid No, the films are not three separate entities. Colonel Mortimer was originally supposed to be played by Henry Fonda, but Sergio Leone couldn't afford him at the time. The difference is that Lee Van Cleef is clearly playing two different characters with two different personalities and storylines (along with wardrobes). But Clint Eastwood is playing the same character with the exact same wardrobe in each movie, with the trademark poncho ("Serape"), along with his fedora and cobra-handled Colt .45. Clint's character was based on Yojimbo, which was based on the Dashiell Hammett character "The Continental Op," from the novel Red Harvest, and the Continental Op is a character who also has no name in each of the stories he appears in.
@@Vinterfrid TH-cam doesn't let you post links anymore, so I want you to google "namesisfortombstones tumblr" then click the first link that comes up, then scroll down until you find the post titled, "Okay we need to deal with this once and for all" and that will tell you why your assertion is incorrect.
That goes for everyone else who thinks these movies are unrelated.
@@44excalibur I tend to agree with that analogy, and I've always suspected that 'The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly' would have taken place before the previous two films of the 'Dollars' trilogy. And if you think about it, Clint's nameless character wanders through a specific physical direction during the series: 'Good...' takes place in New Mexico, 'Few Dollars More' along the New Mexico-Texas border, and 'Fistful' possibly along the Rio Grande. Just a cinematic hypothesis. Great post!
29:40-29:44: that scene will always remind me… find someone who loves you as strong as that bridge. And who is a flexible in forgiving you and dealing with you as much as that bridge is, as well! 😂😂😂
The scene where Clint gives the dying soldier a hit of his cigar as he kicks the bucket is the first “ Puff Puff Pass” in cinematic history.
At 50:10 . . . A close up of her eyes, PURE GOLD !
L and O and L 👀😳😆😅😂🤣
49:58 - Definitely the wrong audience. The best scene in any western and she burps out "Get on with it. I'm so bored."
If you want a spaghetti western that is a bit more light hearted check out My Name Is Nobody. It has an epic Ennio Morricone score and also has a nameless hero. It is a movie for the record books.
Best character name ever in a movie: Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez, a name to remember. Eli Wallach almost died twice during the making of the movie. The first was his close call with the train after he put Mario Brega on the tracks to cut the chain. The second came at the cemetery. There was some Sulfuric Acid in a drink bottle to soak the coin bags so it would break when he hit it with the shovel. Eli took a sip of the acid, but immediately realized it wasn't the drink, and spit it out, he was just a little upset, LOL. Almost quit the movie right there, but Sergio Leone convinced him to finish the scene. Great movie, excellent reaction.
What a film... right there with "Once Upon a Time in the West" as my top Western films. What would they be without the Maestro, Ennio Morricone... just magnificent. Every time I watch this I find some new pieces to the stories .
There is so much subtext in the standoff. Angel Eyes looking at Tuco and Blondie increasingly paranoid they're in it together, Tuco trying to work out if he hates Blondie or Angel Eyes more and Blondie with the knowledge he only has to worry about Angel Eyes, thus having the only advantage.
It is glorious cinematography, only a women wouldn't get it. (no offence because I like them both)
@@Muckylittleme Uh, I don't know that I'd go that far. Lol.
A great pick! There must be two kinds of people in the world, those who love Mrs. Movies and those who've never seen her!!
The bridge explosion was naturally the most complicated stunt in the movie. When it finally came time to do the stunt, somebody forgot to start the cameras running. So they had to rebuild the bridge the next day.
Yall seem like cool parents.
My favorite is Once Upon A Time In The West....an absolute masterpiece!
44:04 - PRIMACORD is a waterproof 'detonating cord (also called detcord, or primer cord) used in the demolition industry. It is a thin, flexible plastic tube usually filled with pentaerythritol tetranitrate (pentrite, PETN). Typical usage also includes mining, drilling,, and warfare. It is a high-speed fuse that doesn't burn but explodes at a rate suitable for detonating high explosives. It was invented in 1934 but I reckon the writers of TGTBATU didn't care.
Other good westerns to check out: "Bad Girls" (1994), "Posse" (1993), "Rio Grande" (1950), and "Winchester 73" (1950)
Silverado, High Plains Drifter, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Tombstone, Open Range.
16:52 "Because.. because... because there's a bag of those marshmallows on the table..."🥰🤣
I just realized that the troll with no legs from Hellboy 2 is directly based on the dude with no legs here
20:25 - PARASOL - A light umbrella for sunshade. Translated from Latin, it literally means 'for Sun'. para-sol.
Tuco's family dilemma was a real thing for many, many families in Mexico. Tuco is also clearly the younger brother. My mom was #6 out of 11 siblings. The first son gets the farm, the second son goes joins The Church. A third one might go to university if he had brains and the family has the money. The rest of the sons work for son #1 or set off on their own. The women are married off or if the family is rich enough, send the women to "finishing school" to receive 2 more years of school for a total of 8 and a non-household trade. This was 1950's Mexico...
my favorite part is when angel eyes sneers, and it says the bad
Tuco makes this movie. That's what I liked about the red dead redemption games, scavenging the dead like Tuco would. Also what Tuco was sniffing is very finely dried powdered tobacco called snuff, "Snuff is a type of smokeless tobacco product made from finely ground or pulverized tobacco leaves. It is snorted or "sniffed" (alternatively sometimes written as "snuffed") into the nasal cavity, delivering nicotine and a flavored scent to the user (especially if flavoring has been blended with the tobacco)." -Wikipedia
In the movie the good is the one who kills the most people. The Bad is the one who kills the least.
Probably the best Léon Western with Once upon a time in the west
This is one of my favorite westerns, but Lonesome Dove is my favorite. Tombstone is second
It’s not a duel, because there are three contestants, not two. It is a “Mexican Standoff.”
if you're looking for more westerns to watch, my suggestions are Once upon a time in the West, starring Charles Bronson and Henry Fonda. The other is The Shootist, starring John Wayne and a young Ron Howard. Both great westerns!!
The greatest standoff in movie history and she's "bored". Lol.
Hopefully you will watch (and react to) Leone's next movie. The best western ever in my opinion - Once Upon a Time In the West. With a fantastic score by Ennio Morricone as usual. He made different themes for each main character for great effect.
you DEFINITELY want to watch the danish national orchestra who covered the songs. Absolutely worldclass
Wow! How is it that you guys have only gotten to this one now? What an awesome film.
Can't wait for ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST
I have said it before, the final 20minutes is the best ending in cinema.
Tuco, for all he is a rotten bastard, has a sort of character to him. Eli Wallach managed to imbue the character with a sort of stunted nobility. And he's the most well-rounded character in the film as a result.
