You see, in this world there's two kinds of people: those who call "The Good the Bad and The Ugly" the best, and those who choose "Once Upon a Time in the West". 🙂

I can't choose, both of them are excellent !

It's back and forth for me. 6 months out of the year I'll boast that G,B&U is the best western/movie ever made. The other half of the year I'll go down guns blazing defending Once Upon a Time... I can't imagine anyone else playing Harmonica other than Bronson. But if Clint Eastwood had taken the part like Sergio intended we woulda had 'The Dollars Saga' and an incredible backstory for the Man with no name...

"A Fistful of Dynamite" actually opened in theaters as "Duck, You Sucker!". At least, that was the title I saw it under! I suspect that somebody decided to try attracting more viewers by sticking "a fistful of...' into the title, to give the impression that it tied in to the trilogy

Unforgettable, the hanging scene visualised throughout 'Once upon a time in the west'. It's showing the little brother, still naïve, with the older brother on his shoulder. The older brother not seeming himself a very good guy, you can see how much his small brother adores him - thinking he can make it, facing the evil of the world. The older brother was not fleshed out more than in this one elaborated scene, nevertheless plays a big role, at least in the heart of his small brother. The emotion of that scene is much stronger than the ultimate release when the boy, now a man, kills the bad guy (as in the end of all films of this kind).

Ironically, “The Man with no Name” has a name...it’s “Joe”....:he’s actually called Joe several times in the film. He also had other names too in the dollars trilogy....Like “Manco” in “For a few Dollars more”....I guess being “The Man with no Name” added more mystery to the overall character. The movie “Fist Fistful of Dollars” loosely connects “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly” as many people say his Poncho is found/seen. I love and crave finding Spaghetti westerns that come close to most that you mentioned.......one that never gets much praise is “Death Rides a Horse”.....to me that’s I classic in itself and has an amazing score too. Musically Ennio Marricone is an absolute master and IMO just as important as Sergio Leone in his own right. “Once upon a Time in the West is my clear fav”

I just assumed that they called him Joe because they didn't know his name. "Joe" is often used as a placeholder name, like saying "guy" or "fella" - "Jack" would be another example. The phrase "average Joe" or "Joe College" springs to mind - it doesn't mean they're talking about some guy literally named Joe.

I guess every Western fan would sign this list. My only personal remark would be that I would switch out 'Compañeros' for 'The Mercenary', the gritty version of the same story also by Corbucci, and instead of 'My Name is Nobody' ,that I think is more average , I would put 'A Bullet for the General', one of my favorite Zapata Westerns. Two other ones I really love but which quality and budget is clearly below these 10 are 'Black Jack' and 'Forgotten Pistolero'

I have a long standing deep rooted love of They Call me Trinity & the sequel Trinity Is Still My Name. I think they were just brilliant. But other than Seven Samurai, I don't think many films in any genre top the feats of The Good, The Bad & The Ugly. That film was gorgeous to look at. Amazing to listen to. It oozed charisma, style & class. The lines of dialogue that you can remember are many and truly unforgettable. John Wayne ain't fit to clean the mud off Eastwoods boots. Lee Van Cleefs also, for that matter. The dynamic between these three Eastwood, Van Cleef & Wallach, was DYNAMITE. So well written, and acted. A sheer behemoth of film making.

Yes, "Tgtbatu" has inflluenced American filmmakers perhaps because it was the only film of the trilogy made primarily for America while carrying all the hallmarks of Leone's filmmaking which was so different from the American westerns of the time, but if one were to independently watch and judge the dollars trilogy shutting out all the noise around, I believe most people would conclude that, as a movie, "For a few dollars more" is the best of the three. While Tgtbatu feels like a series of loosely stitched events, Fafdm actually has a greatly engaging and emotionally very satisfying plot running through it. Leone improves upon his skill from making the film that started it all, Fafod. The protagonist played by Van Cleef and the antagonist played by Maria Volonte are at the top of their game. The movie sets, the cinematography, and the staple of Leone's films - Morricone's score, top it all off beautifully. ... And of all Leone's films, the greatest in my oponion is "Once upon a time the West" for pretty much the same reasons.
