Well, yes...the 2nd trilogy anyway. They're all very different. They're all very Leone. And they contain some of the best writing (and photography) in cinematic history. Maybe you'd like to say which is your favourite and why. Or will this thread spontaneously metamorphose into a "Where in Sheffield does the best kebabs?" one, like so many others...

Yeah I voted for A Fistful of Dynamite. Basically because I'm about to watch it. I'm very fickle though. And it doesn't even have Claudia Cardinale :love:

...darn it I've changed my mind now. Oh well.

Well, I'd cast my vote for The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. But it's not there! Waaahhh!

I remember seeing it at the drive in as a child. My parents always told us to lie down and go to sleep. Sheeyah, right. I was fascinated because I wanted to see where the gold was buried, and who got it. (At the end, Clint Eastwood rode off with it)

Never seen a Fistful of Dynamite. I've seen a Fistful of Dollars, but most of those movies are sooo violent.

Watch 'em. Very different subject matter to the first 3. A Fistful of Dynamite is set in 1913 during the Mexican revolution and looks at the methods by which change is brought about. It's a very funny film (in a dark way) in parts, but very poignant in others. I don't even know whether I would call "Once Upon a Time in the West" a western - since it sets out to destroy that very genre from the start. Basically I'd say that the latter trilogy is a lot more thoughtful than the first - check 'em out if you get the chance.

It's really good film.

I love all of them, the thing that makes a perfect Leone film for me is Ennio Morricone.

I once remember watching a film of his called...(i think) A man called nobody.

I have to admit, it was one of the best westerns I've seen.
