The IMDb ranks the Good the Bad and The Ugly the #4 best movie of all-time.
IMO, A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly are euro-westerns and they ALL suck the big one. But I must say, Eli Wallach is great in TGTBATU.
‘The Good, The Bad and The Ugly’ is much better than Hang Em High which was an American rip off the Leone style.
Saw them all at the theater years ago. Good movies, but why should I watch them on AMC, cut up by commercials when you can get the DVD cheap at Walmart, letterbox at that!
I remember when AMC was commercial free!
I also remember when A FIST FULL OF DOLLARS was first shown o TV back about 1971 or 72. I think it was NBC who made a fake two minute intro film of the man with no name being given government orders to see what was going on in that border town, complete with dialog to mouth mismatch.
And then there’s that dog carrying the hand in his mouth...OH wait, that was YOJIMBO. same story as LAST MAN STANDING with Bruce Willis.
***Thanks man! It would be supercool if they showed “Once Upon A Time I The West” too.***
Then go to Walmart and get a copy cheap. Letterbox with NO COMMERICALS!
I quit watching AMC and IFC when they started hacking up their films for commercials.
I remember when AMC was commericial free too. Unfortuately on was on the same channel as FNN or something like that. FNN was hard business news unlike CNBC. CNBC purchased them I think.
The time was split between FNN and AMC.
Bob Dorian was a host on AMC if I recall correctly.
Claudia Cardinale was a babe in that movie.
They call me Trinity, Trinity is still my name, and My name is Nobody, were also his movies I think.
So was Giù la Testa.
***Claudia Cardinale was a babe in that movie.***
Then you should have seen her in the movie THE PROFESSIONALS
with Burt Lancaster and Lee Marvin.
After she is captured by Marvin and Lancaster she offers herself to Lancaster and pulls off her top. In 1966 you could not show much but you could see in the dim light SHE WAS DEFINITLY ALL WOMAN!
Several years later when I saw the same movie again, that scene had been darkened in the lower right corner so you could not see as much. Bummer!
When the movie was shown not long ago on TCM, that scene was still darkened.
Pretty close to perfect...not to mention all natural, I suspect.
***They call me Trinity, Trinity is still my name, and My name is Nobody, were also his movies I think.****
That was Terence Stamp and Bud Spencer. Everyone says I looked a lot like Stamp when I was younger.
Yep, you’re right! I was pissed when IFC started with the ads too - WTH?!
As far as commercials in general go, I mute them.
Terence Hill? :>} They did another funny one a non westerns called All the way boys. They were basically hiring out to crash planes for insurance down in the Amazon in that movie. After that movie Spencer learned to fly. Believer it or not Spencer was also once an Olympic swimmer. Both Hill and Spencer were born in Italy.
I didn't see that one. I know they made a lot of movies that never hit the states.
Watched the Bruce Willis version of this one, Last Man Standing, last week. If you ever get a chance, watch the original by Kurosawa, Yojimbo.
Yeah, but “Shane” didn’t have Phoebe Cates. Yum!
I guess you have me there.
“Shane” wasn’t exactly populated with good looking women.
