The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly [DVD] [1966]

I'm gonna give this 5 stars just for the music alone. Gotta be one of Ennio Morricone's best scores. As the film reaches its finale with the 3-way Mexican standoff, we hear the beautiful voice of Italian singer Edda Dell'Orso launch into 'The Ecstasy of Gold', one of the most iconic themes in movie history. 'The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly' is a long film, coming in at around 161 mins, but Morricone's skill at evoking moods and feelings will get you involved in the story (set against the backdrop of the American Civil War) and may even bring a tear or two to your eyes.

Another great movie classic👍👍Great Western Movie👍👍

I've been meaning to watch this film for a lonnnng tiiiiiiime. Long overdue. My only regret is that I didn't see it with my Dad, who absolutely LOVED Westerns. Absolutely brilliant film. The cinematography and music are outstanding. Eli Wallach is incredible, as is the rest of the cast. Amazing film.

great film

Where the spaghetti western came of age

OK you may have read about the transfer. I watched this on my Samsung 1080P projector and the image was 14ft diagonal. As such the screen blisters with detail you have never seen on previous releases. There has been much debate about the new grade. Although an assistant on the film was involved I think that the colour is off as the sky looks green not blue in certain shots and the white on the titles is yellowed. However, I was able to pay with the colour values on the projector and return the image to something I would approximate as "natural". I admit this is "My" interpretation and it worked for me - you may like the new colour palette.Once this is done, the film looks AMAZING. Its a great movie anyway and seeing it so crystal and sharp - far better definition on detail than the previous release - really made the screen come aliveThe extras and menu are just lazy. They are ported over from the original version and I would have hoped that Clint and Eli could have been coaxed to record a commentary even if it were separately and edited as a single track As they are both alive and very lucid its a massive opportunity wasted and probably the last time they will be able to get them. I saw Eli at a screening of the film in 2006 and he stated "I have never been asked to do a commentary - I don't know why?" 8 year son and he still hasn't apparently?If you don't own the movie in HD buy it NOW. If you do its worth a double dip if you can live with the new colouring or change your display manually. All of this is from my point of view if you disagree fair enough I will accept your opinion. Please accept mine as mine.

Excellent Service.

A classic and condition was smashing
