Amazon.com essential video If you think of A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More as the tasty appetizers in Sergio Leone's celebrated "Dollars" trilogy of Italian "Spaghetti" Westerns, then The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is a lavish full-course feast. Readily identified by the popular themes of its innovative score by Ennio Morricone (one of the bestselling soundtracks of all time), this cinematic milestone eclipsed its influential predecessors with a $1.2 million budget (considered extravagant in the mid-1960s), greater production values to accommodate Leone's epic vision of greed and betrayal, and a three-hour running time for its wide-ranging plot about the titular trio of mercenaries ("Good" Blondie played by rising star Clint Eastwood, "Bad" Angel Eyes played by Lee Van Cleef, and "Ugly" Tuco played by Eli Wallach) in a ruthless Civil War-era quest for $200,000 worth of buried Confederate gold. Virtually all of Leone's stylistic attributes can be found here in full fruition, from the constant inclusion of Roman Catholic iconography to a climactic circular shoot-out, along with Leone's trademark use of surreal landscapes, brilliant widescreen compositions and extreme close-ups of actors so intimate that they burn into the viewer's memory. And while some Leone fans may favor the more scaled-down action of For a Few Dollars More or the masterful grandiosity of Once Upon a Time in the West, it was The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly that cemented Leone's reputation as a world-class director with a singular vision. --Jeff Shannon

A stone classic - great film! November 4, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a fantastic film, a brilliant example of a western or a war film, as well as being a very entertaining movie. The action is brutal and the directing makes this an amazing spectacle.
This is one of the best films I've ever seen.
Go Go Tuco! October 25, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
It's great to see this movie after so many years. The Digital Restoration looks really great. Super clean and sharp looking. This great movie can be seen many times because of the terrific cinematography (camera angles) and music by Ennio Morricone. Very nice interviews of Clint Eastwood, Eli Walach and others! The best DVD transfer of this film!!!
One of my favorite movies of the saga October 15, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This Clint Eastwood movie is my favorite of the 'saga' of spaghetti westerns starring Clint Eastwood. Everything from the engaging music, to the intense almost agonizing suspenseful long moments before a fight scene. The overacting of Eli to the sublime acting of Clint. Every element combined makes this movie one of a kind.
A Perfect Western October 10, 2008 This film is like a perfect picture,a legendary director,three great actors made for their roles,the well written screenplay,the distinctive music score,the bold scenery,and the cinematography,rounding it off to an Italian western like no other,here is,The Good,the Bad,and the Ugly.
