I've always wanted to watch a Old Western film...

Start with A Fistful of Dollars and finish the trilogy.
Then watch Stagecoach and switch back and forth between color and b&w. You don't want to get monotonous. These movies should be:
The Magnificent Seven
Red River
The Searchers
High Noon
Rio Bravo
My Darling Clementine
The Wild Bunch
True Grit

Then finish with Unforgiven and wrap it up with Once Upon a Time in the West

what did i do to you to evoke your ire?
i just wanted movie recommendations from people who know far more than i do

i'll do this and this, already started fistful
thanks for the posts

I don't really think Leone even gave a fuck about contiunity. Clint is around 30 in TGTBATU, the movie takes place in the 1860s, he must be around 50 in fistful and a few dollars more but he is also around 30 in it. I have the feeling it's just a "trilogy" due to budget restrictions, he just used the same actors 2-3 times with sometimes the exact same clothes.

Watch the Leone stuff for sure. I also recommend Django, The Grand Duel, Navajo Joe, The Great Silence and The Mercenary.

I agree. Fistful is just a scene for scene remake of Yojimbo with revolvers instead of swords and TGTBATU has an epic opera like scale, but it really drags forever in some scenes. AFDM has the perfect pacing between slower moments and action and the bromance between Van Cleef and Eastwood is god tier.

Fair points. Although it's just a fan theory that they are chronologically different than it would appear. For example Clint gets his poncho in tgtbtu, and wears it throughout the other 2 movies. Also the civil war is seemingly over by the other 2 movies. Just a theory

Fdm is absolutely God tier, van cleef is top notch in that film, and I prefer his character and story to Eastwood's in the film. "This is colonel Mortimer, Douglas Mortimer! Does the name mean anything to you?"

Yes, they clearly intented the Poncho scene as "This is where the legend begins" kind of thing, but it just felt like thrown in (although how he got it is one of the most beautiful scenes in cinema history), it makes zero sense that he's the same character due to his age.

Leone really shot himself in the knee with wanting a civil war movie and somehow a prequel to his dollar movies. Clint seemed to never age in 20 years and he gets referred as young in both dollar movies although he must be a 50+ years old man.

I'm not sure exactly that he would be 50, the thought is that after taking his share of the gold from the trio shootout, he is accosted by soldiers and back to being poor, hence why he is down in shit town in fistful. Who knows, definitely an interesting thought

is a great list OP, though it's crucial that even if you don't make it all the way through you MUST watch Once Upon a Time in the West. It's arguably the best Western of all time and quite possibly one of the best films of all time.

>tfw Eastwood and Van Cleef don't just decide to put their differences aside and bro up at the end of TGTBATU
Still makes me sad. Tucco always felt like the (loveable) villain of that film, Van Cleef was just doing his thing.

that's a good one.
also watch for a few dollars more and high plains drifter

What I liked most about Angel Eyes was that he had a weird sense of honor and was, in fact, a man of his word, for some strange reason it was a character you could trust.

That was the most interesting dynamic in the movie, neither Clint nor Wallach had a real sense of honor and duty, but the villain did.

They were literally sued for it by the makers of Yojimbo

>He doesn't know that Tuco was the main character

Tucco did nothing wrong.
Eastwood fucked him over first

Tuco always felt like the biggest threat to Eastwood, you know Clint would beat Van Cleef in a 1v1 but Tuco would be ready to shoot him in the back at the first opportunity.

High Plains Drifter is really good

dude don't /thread your own post

big cringe

that's because you zoomers have watched the useless extended version of TGTBTU instead of the theatrical version

I really like lonesome dove but I used to watch it with my grandpa so it has sentimental value

Westerns are the only types of movies you know are gonna be good no matter what. Just watch all the classics, you won't regret it.

I watched both versions and I still like "a few dollars more" the most. The dynamic between Van Cleef and Eastwood is just too wholesome.

>le 3 hours of close-ups of clint eastwood snarling into the distance

it's a musical but you can't pass up 'paint your wagon'
very fun movie for a rainy afternoon

So. y opinion

That's a fale description. The movie has a lot of landscape shots and lot of stuff happens, OUATITW is the one where sometimes nothing moves on screen, TGTBATU has constant people moving or action scenes happening.

Of the dollars trilogy, I watched Handful first. I fond it just ok. But I had seen Last Man Standing even before that. Then I watched GBU and really liked it, really great movie and I liked the music and the use of music even more than in Once upon a Time.
Then rewatched Handful and still found it ok, but nothing great.
Then I finally got around watching FDM and it completely blew me away. I won't say it's better than GBU, but it's also not worse. I really don't want to decide.
I was amazed by how "modern" the story feels. Like, if you did this in a modern LA setting or something like that, people would laud it for being such a clever movie. And Volonté is really a great villain.

For a fun afternoon watch Once Upon a Time in the West and then start drinking and watch Tombstone.

you forgot to mention the Morricone score backing every one of those scenes, making your argument invalid.

Once Upon a Time in the West has the GOAT OST, thanks Ennio

Shane is the most kino shit I’ve ever seen

bump

Don't listen to this guy("never been a fan of the John Wayne John ford stuff" is another red flag for a casual pleb.Leone loved them even if he "reversed" and even parodied them sometimes)
Make your own opinion,but Good Bad Ugly not being as good as it gets is just contrarian or plebeian. Also make sure to watch Once Upon A Time In The West and Once Upon A Time...The Revolution (lots of people miss this one but it's a masterpiece) after them,they're just as good or better.
