Date: February 25th, 2019 10:09 AM Author: sepia address It is EXTREMELY good on almost all fronts - easily one of my favorite movies.
Epic length and sweeping plot.
One of Eastwoods best performances.
Wallach, a Romanian Jew, plays the best Dirty Mexican I have ever seen.
Lee Van Cleef plays an incredible, sadistic psychopath.
The scenery is extremely strong and atmospheric despite being set in the South of Spain I think.
The presence of sub plots and the backdrop of the Civil War add a lot, especially the commentary on the absurdity and brutality of War on both the Union and Confederate sides (Represented by the Drunk Union Commander's struggle to destroy the bridge and the Confederate Camp/Prison Camp plot)
The Mexican Standoff at the end, while somehow getting back right where the movie started is also great. |

I believe Godfather, Part 2 to be the GOAT. |
|
Date: February 25th, 2019 11:08 AM Author: Cheese-eating goal in life Godfather, Part 2 is my GOAT as well. But TGTBTU is coming on strong in my rankings. Although I do hear you on the gratuitous point. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4208795&forum_id=2#37840061) |

Date: February 25th, 2019 11:09 AM Author: wonderful cruel-hearted personal credit line TGTBTU was just a very uncomfortable movie to watch at many points.

Date: February 25th, 2019 11:50 AM Author: Cheese-eating goal in life The Tuco torture scene might be peak gratuitousness in the movie, although the juxtaposition of that against the Confederate prisoners' music elevates it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nc-SJD7FvdA
Bugles are calling from prairie to shore, "Sign up" and "Fall In" and march off to war. Blue grass and cotton, burnt and forgotten All hope seems gone so soldier march on to die.
Bugles are calling from prairie to shore, "Sign up" and "Fall In" and march off to war. There in the distance a flag I can see, Scorched and in ribbons but whose can it be, How ends the story, whose is the glory Ask if we dare, our comrades out there who sleep.

Date: February 26th, 2019 3:26 AM Author: swashbuckling abusive indian lodge headpube IMDb is garbage. Back to the Future, possibly the most flawless movie ever written, not in IMDb top 250. Heat, the best heist movie of the last 2 decades - not in top 250. In fact, nothing from Michael Mann is ranked. Shawshank is an ok movie but if you read the Stephen King novella already it wouldn't feel like a tremendous achievement. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4208795&forum_id=2#37844764) |
