For A Few Dollars More.

Indio is a great villain. It's an awesome representation of the revenge theme. This one also still has Clint Eastwood as a pure anti-hero, whereas in Good/Bad/Ugly he starts to get a little soft. I love how authentic everything looks here, everyone is so filthy and sweaty its great. My favorite part of the film is the little showdown Clint and VanCleef have in the street at night, where they shoot eachothers hats and stomp eachothers boots.

Indio is a great villain.

He's an italian actor...Gianmaria Volonté
and He did the most incredible part of his life
even in Italy people couldn't believe how stunning He was in that dramatic role

kool some people still appreciate it;)

Of the choices, Once Upon a Time in the West, closely followed by The Good, The Bad, The Ugly. The best movie he was involved in is The Bicycle Thief, of which he was a Second Unit Director.

A Fistful of Dollars so closely mirrors Kurosawa's Yojimbo, that it shouldn't even be on the list.

i like once upon a time in mexico myself...though carlos guillardo should have been in it

and as for my movie pick it's a fistfull of dollars for me, just so badass and so totally rocking. it really shows how cowboys could be complete badasses, and i love comparing westerns to samurai films it really shows the two sides of the ocean after WWII americans glorifying the ghosts of their fronteering past, and the japanese glorifying the honor and power of the warriors that once roamed their dusty roads.

Il Buono, Il Brutto, Il Cattivo!! :buttrock:

Man, I looove this movie. Eastwood at its best.

Closely followed by Nobody, I'm a big fan of Mario Girotti and Carlo Pedersoli... sort of grew up with them.

Technicolor forver!

Once upon a time in the west.

...the movie is perfect in everyway. I actually have a lump in my throat as the movie closes and see the freckin' begining of the end of when a man was free, and the coming of so called "Civilization" with their ass backwards ways of doing things that is anything but civilized.

{Harmonica} "Gonna' be a great town."

{Jill} "Yes, maybe someday you'll come back and see it."

LONG PAUSE / MUSICAL Highlight...

{Harmonica} "Someday..."

and out walks a man no longer with a purpose in life, an ancient race to what was coming. Though not an evil man, he had no intentions of ever going back to sweet water, for he was what he was... a roaming free spirit gun slingin' Cowboy. I'd like to think that character went on to die an honorable death but he probably died poor and unknown. *It's why the guys at the end of THE WILD BUNCH did what they did. There was nowhere else to go, their time had ended. :(

One of the greatest movies of all time, and #4 on my Top Twenty of films.

Ok, somethings bothering me...is this guy also in Once Upon A Time In The West? If it's who I think it is, isn't he the rich man who owns his own choo-choo train? The guy that Hank Fonda(Frank) works for? It just seems like its him, but a little older, without the mustache, and a little heavier too.

My favorite would have been Good, the Bad and the Ugly... right up until the day I first saw Once Upon a Time in the West, about 10 or so years ago. Not only is it my favorite western (Leone or otherwise), it is, in my opinion, one of the 10 best movies ever made.

He's Gabriele Ferzetti....another wop:D
actually He's not that famous in Italy
but he was even more famous in the US where he acted in some other b-westerns

anyway
OUAT in the west is just incredible
It was made by Leone in his worst period, when He was disappointed about EVERYTHING
you can see it in the movie too
