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. ...

Review of The Good Bad And The Ugly (DVD)

'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 ...

Who shot what in the where now?

Advantages: A true classic of the genre.
Disadvantages: May suffer from old prejudices against westerns but not if given a chance

...nine or ten and at the time thinking this was a really good movie. I can remember finding it really funny at times and my dad telling me to sit down and watch it cause it was one of the best and having to agree. I hadn't caught it on television since then and had begun to wonder over time whether it was as good as I remembered. So having begun watching old westerns again with a friend of mine at college, I was poking around the western section in ...
...They made it plain from the outset that they did not like westerns, hated watching Black and white films in general and had never had liked John Wayne. They were sure that they would be leaving after half an hour and I was sure they would too. I made them promise then that they wouldn't be talking through it if they didn't like it and they respected this and we began to watch. It was pretty much as I remembered it, except I could now appreciate the ...

Review of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (DVD)

The original and still the best

Advantages: 3 Terrific Westerns
Disadvantages: Box set not always cheapest option, bonus features sparse.

This Spaghetti western box set comprises the three famous Clint Eastwood films, 'For a Fistful of Dollars', 'A Few Dollars More' and 'The Good, The Bad and the Ugly'. All three films were directed by Sergio Leone and have a similar style, building tension using dramatic close-ups (illustrated with the shot on the cover of the box) and a superb and now famous soundtrack. They were all filmed in Spain and some of the back drops and panoramic landscapes ...
...unforgiving territories in which the tales unfold. The violence in the films is gritty and frequent and you may be forgiven for thinking that law abiding citizens were few and far between. There are also brief examples of morality throughout the films however, and some scenes (of the civil war especially), show a very different side to the characters. A fistful of Dollars centres on a small town controlled by two families. Clint Eastwood arrives ...

Review of Spaghetti Westerns (Box Set) (DVD)

For a night of epic gun-slinging

Advantages: Two brilliant films in on set, for a reasonable price
Disadvantages: The hours you'll find devoting to learing lines and catchphrases

...The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is a film full of well known lines and scene that keeps you on the edge of your seat, followed up by Hang 'em High and you can't go wrong. The most attractive thing about this set for me was the fact that each film is on a seperate disc. For some reason it double sided disks irritate me, and when it comes to such epic films as these, i feel that each deserved their own disc. When watching theses great films you wont ...
...your own hat, cheering for the bad and better guys. This is Clint in his well known form of tough hero, who everyone loves, despite the times where you think he'll do the wrong thing, and even when he does you can't help but cheer him on in all his squinty glory! ...
