>two families fighting over a town >two bounty hunters unite to hunt down a notorious criminal and his gang >three outlaws are after the same treasure with the backdrop of the American civil war
yeah the same movie
Why is the second one best? gays always say this shit to be contrarian I swear to god. Yeah it has the best villain but no way does that make up for its shoddy pacing
Every aspect it is kino, it is simply the most perfect out of all three. The other two have wonky elements, like Angel eyes being a completely pointless villain who does nothing and it's the only one that has duals that don't turn out to be completely nonsensical if you think about it.
Nothing wrong with the pacing, I'd even say it is the most well paced of the three.
No contrarian. Better score. Better pacing. Better plot. The opening is poetic. The gun fights are pure cinema (the one in the blown out church)....then...then...the chimes on the watch. With zero dialogue the chimes represent the revenge for Col. Mortimer...the evil of Indio...and at the end, held by Manco who knows he's going to get paid.
The entire movie is paced well and has kino dialogue....
"Having trouble, boy?"
"No old man. Though I was having a problem with my adding is all."
All capped with an epic score..Maricone's most haunting score.
For a few dollars more is the best of them all. Fact.
>is a reasonable length >tells a nice story that has a twist but never overextends itself and lends itself to perfectly creating a strong cast of characters with minimal dialogue needed >has the best final fight >has not a single moment that is anything less than perfect
Generally, I'm not a fan of spaghetti westerns. I find Leone's films to be interesting but I don't love them the way I love the westerns of John Ford, Howard Hawks, Raoul Walsh, Delmer Daves or Anthony Mann.
Once Upon a Time in the West is GOATed and it's not even close
Once Upon a Time in the West is an overwrought temper tantrum over Clint not coming back. But the best part is when that morphs from "actually Clint sucks" to "actually white people are all evil and all their accomplishments are actually evil and they should just die".
It's not a revisionist western. It's an anti-Western. A hateful inversion of How The West Was Won.
Accidentally traumatised himself with his own barbaric actions. He's evil demonspawn and he's far beyond any kind of redemption, but the tiny amount of humanity left in him still feels remorse for what he did even though the rest of him doesn't understand that feeling anymore.
There's nothing riding on the duel at the end of Few Dollars More. No character arc is culminating there. No decision is being made there. Clint's already decided what he thinks of Van Cleef's character and he's already discerned his family issues earlier in the film. Clint hands the reigns to him and the duel plays out in the only way it could have.
It works as a capstone for the rest of the film. It's fine for what it is.
In The Good The Bad and The Ugly the duel is the culmination of Tuco's entire character arc. A character arc that hasn't been decided yet. As the duel plays out and eyes dart back and forth you see Tuco making a decision in real time. The duel ends at the exact moment Tuco finally decides he's going to try to dump all 6 in Angel Eyes, the result of the entire film's runtime prior to that.
It's lightyears ahead of what plays out in the previous movie.
You don't see that Clint put Indio into an unwinable situation...as in the man who's family is executed in the church earlier in the movie.
The tables are completely turned, and Indio knows he's going to die. There is no hope at all. This is what is amazing about the movie. The final duel is really an absolution of sins, judgement day, revenge all in order...no quick death. Good Bad and Ugly gave the villain a quick death and he never knew he was getting hosed. So one of the three doesn't even get a realization moment.
In for a few dollars more...all three get a realization moment before the resolution.
Mortimer gets his revenge
Indio knows it's over
Manco realizes the Colonel is the better gun fighter and just watches the artist at work.
>Good Bad and Ugly gave the villain a quick death and he never knew he was getting hosed.
Angel Eyes definitely realizes he's fricked. You can see him get progressively more agitated as time goes by, and ultimately he panics as he notices all eyes are exclusively on him. Not to mention the fact that he doesn't die immediately. Blondie was testing Tuco and outright fricking with Angel Eyes who he put into an unwinnable situation.
>There's nothing riding on the duel at the end of Few Dollars More
Just Vancleef finally tracking down his sister's Hispanic rapist murderer.....That duel isn't about Angel Eyes, moron.
>finally get around to watching the Dollars Trilogy >A Fistful of Dollars was pretty meh >Watch For a Few Dollars More >absolute kino >pumped to finally watch The Good, the Bad and the Ugly because everyone says it's amazing >it was completely underwhelming
I'm convinced anyone saying The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is the best western, or at least the best movie in the Dollars Trilogy, hasn't actually seen any of the movies.
anybody else really loves dollars trilogy but gets filtered hard by once upon a time in the west? i don't know why is that
recently i found out it's actually shorter than good bad ugly and i was suprised, because it feels like a much longer movie
The only character in a western to get Clint to do a double take....
At the end, Indio's hand is practically on his holstered weapon...Mortimer has a completely foreign side holster and gun that he's never fired before...and he waits until the very last moment...Clint does a "what the frick?"...and Mortimer blasts Indio and watches him die...no need for even a second shot. "Bravo old man". Tells you Manco would've blasted him much earlier and it was a hat tip to a superior gun fighter.
What an amazing ending.
To cap it all off, Mortimer gives the entire haul to Manco and only takes the pocket watch as his reward. Great writing.
GBU > FDM > FOD. You disagree with that? Shove a cactus spine up your piss slit, and then shove a second one up, all while you're bursting to take a slash, because you deserve that pain.
I tried watching this but I hated both characters and got filtered and stopped halfway through. Should I try and watch it again? Coburn ain’t no Eastwood that’s for sure
Actually saw Few Dollars More on Tubi a few weeks ago for the first time. I liked a Fistful and watched TGTBTU many times but I had no clue FDM was the best of the trilogy. Surprised that GoodBadUgly gets all the attention honestly?
they're all the same movie
t. Never watched any of them
well yeah of course
>two families fighting over a town
>two bounty hunters unite to hunt down a notorious criminal and his gang
>three outlaws are after the same treasure with the backdrop of the American civil war
yeah the same movie
didn't ask
Me either. have a nice day.
Why is the second one best? gays always say this shit to be contrarian I swear to god. Yeah it has the best villain but no way does that make up for its shoddy pacing
it has the most kino duo in film history
Better plot and Van Cleef is based
also the finale is the best
Fantastic scene, I love the emotions painting on Van Cleefs face as the melody plays.
But even still, I raise you the best scene of the three movies:
But it's the third one that has shit pacing
>Eccentric/uncommon opinion with no explanation
Just a Cinemaphile staple fren

>*shoots ur hat off your head, then 5 more times in the air*
how do you respond without sounding mad?
I shoot his hat off and then shoot it several more times whenever he tries to pick it back up
The third one is massively overrated
I'd rather watch Django (1966) than any of these
could the man with no name beat him?
>its another contrarian Cinemaphile thread
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is the greatest western of all time, deep down you now this to be true
Tucco is an annoying homosexual and drags the movie down
Generally, I'm not a fan of spaghetti westerns. I find Leone's films to be interesting but I don't love them the way I love the westerns of John Ford, Howard Hawks, Raoul Walsh, Delmer Daves or Anthony Mann.
Once Upon a Time in the West is GOATed and it's not even close
The Outlaw Josey Wales exists
Tuco really is great.
Once Upon a Time in the West is an overwrought temper tantrum over Clint not coming back. But the best part is when that morphs from "actually Clint sucks" to "actually white people are all evil and all their accomplishments are actually evil and they should just die".
It's not a revisionist western. It's an anti-Western. A hateful inversion of How The West Was Won.
I usually think its the weakest one but its still kino and has the best score of the three
What the frick was his problem?!
Being Mexican.
incel rage
basicaly he was a chud
he was italian
Accidentally traumatised himself with his own barbaric actions. He's evil demonspawn and he's far beyond any kind of redemption, but the tiny amount of humanity left in him still feels remorse for what he did even though the rest of him doesn't understand that feeling anymore.
It is. The standoff at the end completely mogs the one in tgtbatu as well. I don't know why everyone prefers it.
TGTBU is more "epic" and grand in scale, FAFDM is a more personal movie.

Safe edgy npc opinion.

I'm convinced anyone saying The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is the best western, or at least the best movie in the Dollars Trilogy, hasn't actually seen any of the movies.
TGTBTU is the best and anyone saying otherwise is just a contrarian.
The payoff works so great with that long setup. It's a journey.
Saying FAFDM is the Dalton is best Bond of western threads. You all just expect people to clap because of how original you are.
Dalton = Craig > Connery = Moore > anal herpes > the other dudes
actually the first time i see someone with the same opinion as me.
Third one is objectively the best. Second one is the worst. Shan't be engaging with your moronic contrarian opinions.
anybody else really loves dollars trilogy but gets filtered hard by once upon a time in the west? i don't know why is that
recently i found out it's actually shorter than good bad ugly and i was suprised, because it feels like a much longer movie
Same. West has kino shit in though but damn, it fricking drags at times.
I don't like Yojimbo or Fistful, and Fistful doesn't even have Mifune's charisma to try to carry it.
>the second one is the best
I agree just because i like the Colonel Mortimer character.
The only character in a western to get Clint to do a double take....
At the end, Indio's hand is practically on his holstered weapon...Mortimer has a completely foreign side holster and gun that he's never fired before...and he waits until the very last moment...Clint does a "what the frick?"...and Mortimer blasts Indio and watches him die...no need for even a second shot.

>YOU SON OF A b***h
Make way for true Leone Kino
there's always one...
wow anon, you're so special and unique, your taste must be super refined
Perhaps the best soundtrack from a Sergio Leone movie, imo.
thanks for reminding this exists, gonna watch it right now
I tried watching this but I hated both characters and got filtered and stopped halfway through. Should I try and watch it again? Coburn ain’t no Eastwood that’s for sure
Best cowboy movie and best samurai movie coming through
They're all terrible but
Actually saw Few Dollars More on Tubi a few weeks ago for the first time. I liked a Fistful and watched TGTBTU many times but I had no clue FDM was the best of the trilogy. Surprised that GoodBadUgly gets all the attention honestly?
