A simple morality play takes place on the grandest of scales in Sergio Leone's greatest Western. The film's characters are each their own intriguing persona and the ensuing power struggle makes for some of the greatest scenes of the genre. Add to this Leone's beautiful panoramic photography and the film's iconic score and this is a true Western classic.

This will rock your face off. The tight close-ups, the indelible score, the table-turning plot, the classic cool dialogue and the burning showdown. Makes me wonder why I have never heard anyone witness on behalf of this movie. Ok, I will now: Mandatory viewing for guys

The good the bad and the ugly is a great western, Starring Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Eli Wallach. In the beggning you may get confused because there isnt really much of a goal but when Tuco and Blondie set off in the desert only to find this man who knows where 200,000 dollars worth of gold is well you know wheree thats going to go. In the end it ends like a western should and looking back of the entire film I cant stop thinking about it.

The definitive western. Leone's masterpiece. One of the most bad ass films in the history of cinema.

This was the first western movie I ever saw and I must say that I liked it a lot. The way Leone presents the characters in the beginning is very funny. The characters are very memorable: Eli Wallach as the Ugly, sneaky and funny man and Clint Eastwood as the Good, confident and iconic man. Lee Van Cleef is a typical movie villain. Great script, great actors and great (almost teasing) music makes me see why this movie is so high-rated on a lot of movie lists. And I can also see in some places where Tarantino got some of his inspiration.

The movie that made Clint Eastwood an icon. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is the best western ever made. Dismissed at the time of it's release because it's a "spaghetti western," The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is now revered as a classic. This movie was also completely overlooked by the Oscars in the year of its release. Eastwood's the lead, but Eli Wallach gives the best performance in the movie as Tuco, who's the Ugly, or the Bad in the original Italian version. Lee Van Cleef plays the part of Angel Eyes, the Bad, or the Ugly in the Italian version. Anyways check it out it's worth the watch.

The finest of the dollars trilogy. This is more ambitious, and has more interesting chracters, mainly in Eli Wallach's Tuco, who is just fantastic, a real pain in the ass, but funny too. And Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone go hand in hand beautifully, and not just with the score everyone knows, there's some real depth to the music and imagery. The perfect western.

A must watch. Everyone knows this is a classic western, which to me means you have to watch it if you like the genre even if you don't think you'll love it. It is beautifully shot and the music really makes the movie. The music is almost another character. Like I said a must see for lovers of westerns, the length may make it impossible to get through for people not used to the genre.
