More than a Western
It is often said that there are flicks, movies, and films. If this hack phrase is true, then The Good, the Bad and the Ugly surely fall into the last category. This is much more than a John Wayne Western you might find on AMC every day. These characters are rich and full. You find that even the Good is not so good, which is wonderful.

I must be honest and tell you that I liked the Sergio Leone "Once upon a Time in the West" more, but his work is incredible. From the first shot the the man staring into the lens, you can tell this will be something different. Add a score that is wonderful, my favorite being the orchestration in the cemetary, and you have cinema gold.

Whether or not you enjoy westerns, fans of film will enjoy this classic, as well as a very young Eastwood and a brilliant Wallach. Fans of Kurosawa will find similarities in certain characters. The shining example of the spaghetti western.

Play That Fiddle, You...!
Very nice boxed set with some reproductions of various GBU movie posters from the '60's. The sound and picture quality on the DVD are as fine as could possibly be expected from a 35 year-old movie. The extras are mildly entertaining, but the real cool thing is watching the film with the extra 20+ minutes of edited material re-inserted. In this case, editing was a GOOD move. The added footage does very little to expand the storyline and it's very obvious why the footage was deleted in the first place. For all you GBU trivia junkies: Check out the full text of the conversation between Blondie and the 'Half Soldier'. This is the only scene I found where the re-inserted material really adds to the movie. But let's be honest - the reason The Good, the Bad & the Ugly is so great is the fact that it's three pages of dialogue spaced over a three hour movie. Ya really don't NEED the chitchat to be blown away by the film.

Its engaging and absorbing.
WOW. I have watched it so many times its embarassing. Its good and ugly and bad. The atmospher is good and the music is haunting.
