The Good The Bad and The Ugly - The Best

Advantages: Amazing story, amazing action, amazing gunfighting and beautiful background music
Disadvantages: A bit lenghty

The Good the bad and the ugly is one of the best all time classic mvoies that I have ever watched in my whole entire life. It is soo cool, the style of clint eastwood the good and then the bad's killing style and comedy of the ugly is just amazing. The movie potrays the life of all these three amazing characters and then how they all end up meeting and their lifes intersect. The movie has amazing drama and amazing action, gun fights and all old western ...
...watch movie before you die. The story is amazing as well, a movie which everyone in your family can watch. The only thing is that the movie is a bit lenghty but it doesnt make a difference as you'll be enjoying it all the while. And then there is the best classci style background music which you will be humming even after the movie ends. ...

...about the money - and decides to follow the other two in order to find the fortune for himself. Will they find a way to share? Or are two of the three destined to die? Westerns are very far from being the type of film that I enjoy. However, I like to challenge myself every now and again by watching something outside of my comfort zone. In addition, I was intrigued to find out a bit about the background to spaghetti westerns directed by Italian director ...

Dunbar, not Dumb Bear!

Advantages: Fantastic visuals, Costner
Disadvantages: Can draw it out too long in places

Set in the aftermath of the Civil War, it features KC as a war hero who is relocated to a post near a tribe of Sioux Indians. The initial grasp of the film makes you think it's going to be one with emphasis on the conflict involving the Sioux, and for the first part of the film, this is indeed how it is shown, particularly as ...
...Mary McDonnell as a love interest for Dunbar. Dances With Wolves is available from amazon.co.uk for £6.98. It's a film I recommend watching, but you need to focus and concentrate. It's not the sort of film you can have on in the background and completely understand. Recommended. ...
