Good in their day but now? Nothing compared to Pale Rider, High Plains drifter, or Hang em High.

Never saw it (though I will): Una Pistola Per Ringo

Ennio Morricone, who wrote the music for Sergione’s films, scored this one too.

Here’s the theme song: great tune, great performance:

Morricone.
He’s the best reason to watch a Spaghetti Western.

Unfortunately AMC cuts the hell out of movies in order to fit in all of the commercials. It’s not worth watching 80% of a movie.

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.

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.

They call me Trinity, Trinity is still my name, and My name is Nobody, were also his movies I think.

5:30 pm A Fistful of Dollars An amoral gunman (Clint Eastwood) works both sides of a divided Western town.

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.
