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. ...

one of the best

Advantages: great movie, clint eastwood
Disadvantages: 15 certificate

Plenty of people I know who have watched the film disagree with me that it is one of the best western films made.I totally disagree this film sequels a fist full of dollars,of which is also one of the best around of its time. The sequel has been branded unneccesary and downgrades the 1st film but if the film had not been produced the first would not of had the same affect as it did. Clint Eastwood is at his peak in both the films and so is the ...
...i know that he is a star.the theme in both films is incredible and i am told that there are other films that have been based on the same theme to try and get money and more viewers but since the two fabulous westerns came out no film has continued with the success that they did. Altogether a great watch ...

'When you have to shoot, shoot, don't talk!'

Advantages: Beautifully made, good performances
Disadvantages: Actors speak their own languages, so lip synching poor

...who likes to keep on the straight and narrow as much as possible. Angel Eyes (The Bad) is a professional hitman will kill anyone so long as he receives payment. Tuco (The Ugly) is an outlaw who just wants to make a fortune. Then Blondie and Tuco come across news that there is a large sum of money buried in a graveyard. Blondie knows the name of the grave; Tuco knows the name of the cemetery - so both are determined to keep the other alive in order ...
...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 ...

a fistfull of dolars (widescreen)

Advantages: original format
Disadvantages: letterbox size

The first proper spaghetti Western, A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS follows a nameless drifter who plays two feuding families off each other to his own reward. As members of each family are put in the ground, the stash in his pockets gets heavier and heavier. this violent remake of akira kurosawa's joyimbo made clint eastwood a star and not before time. this is one of leone's first outings as director, who later went on to direct the masterpiece once upon a ...

MR EASTWOOD RIDES AGAIN!

Advantages: A GOOD MOVIE
Disadvantages: MAY NOT APPEAL TO EVERYONE

Review of “Hang 'em High”, a DVD starring Clint Eastwood. This DVD is not my usual cup of tea, I'm not a particular fan of either westerns or Clint Eastwood, but on a wet afternoon recently, we decided to pass away a few hours watching movies and this DVD had been loitering in the back of the cupboard unwatched for ages. The DVD The DVD is one of the first 'Spaghetti Westerns' actually filmed in America. The film was also instrumental in bringing ...
...earlier movies. The actual movie was released back in 1968 by United Artists and in my opinion has stood the test of time. The DVD version was released in 2000 by MGM. Run time of this DVD is 1 hour 50 minutes and it is classified as suitable for age 18 and over. The genre is 'Western'. The DVD is a fairly basic one with only a few extras included such as a Making Of The Movie Trailer, Original Theatrical Trailer, Interactive Menu and Chapter Access. ...
