Six may be the perfect number but the third was definitely the best! This film was perfect it had all the things that made the first two good and so much more. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly saw the return of Clint Eastwood as the Man with no name (The Good), the return of Lee Van Cleef this time as Angel Eyes (The Bad) and Eli Wallach as Tuco ( The Ugly.) While some may say the film was slow to start and that it went on for too long it doesn't take away from the pure excellence of the movie. The film features the three men going after 200,000 dollars but they get caught up several times in the civil war on the way to the money the film is filled to the brim with gunfights and kick ass-ery.
Ennio Morricone proved his genius once again with the world renowned the Good, The Bad and The Ugly theme which is a very iconic piece and is one of my favorite non john Williams pieces. This film had a terrific cast, an amazing director and a incredible composer. It is one of the first films you think of when some one mentions western films and I can see why this is truly one of the best western films ever and by far the best film to come out of the 60's.
This is such a good movie that it worries me that it took me this long to watch it, if you haven't seen it go watch it! I can guarantee if you like westerns or even action movies in general you will love this movie. This is a must watch movie with a poncho wearing six shooter wielding horseback riding cowboy.
