The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is the best western ever made, and a whole lotta fun to watch. Unbeatable direction and cinematography. Over the top and magnificent. If you’ve only seen the full-screen VHS version (which I remember as being slow and boring), then you haven’t seen this movie. The recent extended edition doesn’t improve on the theatrical cut. It provides more insight into the characters, but it slows down the pace of the film even more. Either version is worth revisiting, though. It’s Sergio Leone’s magnum opus.
