[Angel Eyes stops eating and looks interested] Stevens :Now that gold has disappeared, but if he'd listened we could have avoided this altogether. I went to the Army court; there were no witnesses. They couldn't uncover any more. I can't tell Baker what happened to the money. Go back and tell him that! Author: slayer-3 from TEXAS Rather than a review of a 30 year old movie, here is my recollection of a 30 year old movie. When was the first time you saw this movie? I remember the first time I saw this movie. Back in the '70s, one night there was 2 things on TV to choose from, this movie or a baseball game. How do I remember a baseball game, it was the night Hank Aaron was going after Babe Ruth's homerun record. Baseball or a movie.

Tuned into the the baseball game, flipped to the movie -a western, cool. 'Uh, what is this no one is talking it makes no sense'. After what seemed like an eternity somebody finally spoke, Lee van Cleef. The rest is Movie History. Since then I have seen this movie well over 25 times. Numerous lines that have been etched into my memory. Forget whatever minor flaws this movie has. Put yourself in the movie. Sergio Leon, John Ford these are the people that defined "The Western". On a scale of 1-10, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is nothing less than a 10. Plop the tape into the VCR, sit back and experience a classic. Was the above review useful to you?

Trivia When Blondie and Angel Eyes are traveling to the cemetery, Blondie shoots a skulker, then counts the number of people that will be traveling together. He says, "Six. A perfect number." In mathematics, a number is perfect if the sum of its factors (excluding itself) equals itself.

Six is a perfect number because 1, 2, and 3 are factors and 1 + 2 + 3 = 6. (The next perfect number is 28.)

See more » Frequently Asked Questions (Brooklyn, NY) – See all my reviews On a partial first viewing, I didn't like "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly." I thought it was a slow, tedious story about a bunch of unpleasant jerk characters involved in a bog-standard conflict over money. It all seemed very macho and self-consciously cool, and it had obviously inspired all the overrated macho directors I don't like in my own generation - Tarantino, for example, and Robert Rodriguez. In short, I was unimpressed. Years later, I gave the film a second shot, watching it all the way through this time. I loved it. What had changed? For one thing, I took more notice of the technical side of the film. I paid attention to Leone's famous use of close-ups, his selection of memorable character actors, and his wonderful scene-setting. I admired the detailed sets and the sweeping landscapes, the props and the costumes and all those weird, wonderful faces that Leone clearly loved to photograph. I also got hooked by some of the quieter moments that I had skipped over in my first viewing.

One of the most effective scenes involves Eli Wallach's character, Tuco, quarreling with his brother when they meet after they've been apart for years. Their argument is great, emotionally charged stuff, made all the more effective by the suggestion that they really do love and care about each other. It's the kind of sensitive, human scene you never get to see in a Tarantino or Rodriguez movie. Before I get too fuzzy-wuzzy, I should also like to point out that, on my second viewing, I LOVED all the action, too. Every gunfight is great, in its own way, and they're all a bit different. The greatest of them all is, of course, the final confrontation between the trio, which is accompanied by some of the most rousing music I've ever heard in a film. And hey, there's even a huge Civil War battle to provide a change of pace from all the small-scale action. Ultimately, "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" is probably just a potboiler of a film, without too much to say about, for example, the human condition. But what a potboiler! It doesn't have to try to be cool - it simply IS cool.

In fact, it probably defined heroic coolness for an entire generation. Eli Wallach's performance, Leone's direction and Morricone's music alone are enough to elevate it to classic status and the fact that everything else in the movie is great, too, helps elevate it to the level of perhaps the greatest action film ever made. And to think, I missed all that the first time through... 233 of 282 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you?

Rated 9.3 by IMDB, ‘The Shawshank Redemption’ is a story of how two imprisoned men bond over a number of years, finding solace and eventual redemption through acts of common decency. © Castle Rock Entertainment The Godfather (1972) Every time I watch ‘The Godfather’, I say a silent thanks to Francis Ford Coppola. Even 100 years later, cinephiles will be talking about the manliness of this gangster trilogy. Marlon Brando, Al Pacino , Robert De Niro – the cast more than does justice to this crime drama about the aging patriarch of an organized crime dynasty who transfers control of his clandestine empire to his reluctant son. © Paramount Pictures Pulp Fiction (1994) Tarantino loyalists would probably rank this as their most favorite movie by the director – and for good reason. With eclectic dialogue, ironic mix of humor and violence and a highly stylized directing style, ‘Pulp Fiction’ is a cult crime thriller handmade for the big boys.

© Miramax Films The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) One of the best westerns ever made, this last of the ‘Dollars’ trilogy is next on our list – where Clint Eastwood is the ‘good’; Lee Van Cleef the ‘bad’ and Eli Wallach the ‘ugly’. The movie is about how a bounty hunting scam joins two men in an uneasy alliance against a third in a race to find a fortune in gold buried in a remote cemetery. © Produzioni Europee Associati Fight Club (1999) Few things are manlier than a fight club. And Edward Norton, playing an insomniac office worker who wants to change his life and faces his demons in the most violent way possible, shows how mental sickness can also be macho. The Bollywood ‘Fight Club’ does not even come close to this one. © Fox 2000 Pictures Schindler’s List (1993) Manliness is saving lives.

A biopic on German businessman Oskar Schindler who employed thousands of Jews in his factories to save them during the Holocaust, ‘Schindler’s List’ took away 7 Oscars and was nominated in 5 other categories – including Best Actor (Liam Neeson) and Best Supporting Actor (Ralph Fiennes). © Universal Pictures Seven Samurai (1954) The Bollywood movie ‘China Gate’ was loosely adapted from this Akira Kurosawa classic, in which a poor village under attack by bandits recruits seven unemployed samurai to help them defend themselves. Trivia: Kurosawa’s own ancestors were samurai, up till 100 years before he made this movie. © Toho Company Gangster Squad (2013) Set in Los Angeles, 1949 and starring Sean Penn and Ryan Gosling, this movie is about a secret crew of police officers led by two determined sergeants work together in an effort to take down the ruthless mob king Mickey Cohen who runs the city. © Warner Bros Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) One simply does not make a list of manly movies and not include Indiana Jones.

The first of the many to come, ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ has archeologist and adventurer Indiana Jones hired by the US government to find the Ark of the Covenant before the Nazis. If Harrison Ford’s role in the movie was not manly, we do not know what is. © Paramount Pictures Goodfellas (1990) One of the author’s personal favorite gangster movies, ‘Goodfellas’ had a superb cast that included Robert De Niro, Ray Liotta and Joe Pesci – and narrates the tale of how Henry Hill (Liotta) and his friends work their way up through the mob hierarchy. © Warner Bros Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) A must-watch for all Western fans, Sergio Leone’s ‘Once Upon a Time in the West’ is an epic story of a mysterious stranger with a harmonica who joins forces with a notorious desperado to protect a beautiful widow from a ruthless assassin working for the railroad. © Finanzia San Marco The Dark Knight Rises (2012) While the entire ‘Dark Knight’ trilogy was a tribute to manliness, we pick the final movie for the sake of convenience.

Remember Christian Bale for his last portrayal of Batman and Tom Hardy for his superb performance as Bane. No doubt Ben Affleck has very large shoes to fill when he appears as the next Batman. © Warner Bros American History X (1998) Edward Norton dazzles as a former neo-Nazi skinhead who tries to prevent his younger brother (Edward Furlong) from going down the same wrong path that he did in this crime drama. Directed by Tony Kaye, ‘American History X’ is rated at #33 in IMDB Top 250. © New Line Cinema Saving Private Ryan (1998) Steven Spielberg’s ‘Saving Private Ryan’ took away five Oscars the year it was released. A manly tale of how a group of US soldiers go behind enemy lines to retrieve a paratrooper whose brothers have been killed in action, the movie is one of the best war dramas ever made in Hollywood. © DreamWorks SKG Leon: The Professional (1994) Probably the best performance by Jean Reno in his career, ‘Leon: The Professional’ is a story of how a professional assassin rescues a young girl whose parents are killed in a police raid.

Natalie Portman’s childhood role is a great foil to Reno’s dark and brooding performance. All in all, it is a superb crime drama. © Gaumont Django Unchained (2012) Not for nothing did ‘Django Unchained’ take away two Oscars. With the help of a German bounty hunter (Christoph Waltz), a freed slave (Jamie Foxx) sets out to rescue his wife from a brutal Mississippi plantation owner (Leonardo DiCaprio). © Columbia Pictures The Departed (2006) Leonardo DiCaprio deserved at least a nomination at the Oscars for his role in this one. Directed by Martin Scorsese and also starring Mark Wahlberg, Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson, the movie is about how an undercover state cop who has infiltrated an Irish gang and a mole in the police force working for the same mob race to track down and identify each other before being exposed to the enemy, after both sides realize their outfit has a rat. © Warner Bros Memento (2000) A Christopher Nolan classic, ‘Memento’ was remade in Bollywood as ‘Ghajini’. However, the original, as always, is way, way better.

Starring Guy Pearce, it is a story about how a man, suffering from short-term memory loss, uses notes and tattoos to hunt for the man he thinks killed his wife. © Newmarket Capital Group Gladiator (2000) A multiple Oscar-winning movie by Ridley Scott, ‘Gladiator’ is a movie about a Roman general (Russell Crowe) who is betrayed and his family murdered by an emperor's corrupt son (Joaquin Phoenix), he comes to Rome as a gladiator to seek revenge. © DreamWorks SKG Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) The Terminator movies have always been a guy favorite – and we like the second one the best. In ‘Judgment Day’, the cyborg who once tried to kill Sarah Connor is dead, and another T-101 must now protect her teenage son, John Connor, from an even more powerful and advanced Terminator, the T-1000. © Carolco Pictures Apocalypse Now (1979) Loosely adapted from Joseph Conrad’s novel ‘Heart of Darkness’ ‘Apocalypse Now’ is set during the U.S. Vietnam War.

Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) is sent on a dangerous mission into Cambodia to assassinate a renegade colonel Walter Kurtz (Marlon Brando) who has set himself up as a god among a local tribe. © Zoetrope Studios Oldboy (2003) The second of the Vengeance Trilogy, ‘Oldboy’ is a Korean drama thriller in which the protagonist has to find his captor in 5 days after being kidnapped and imprisoned for 15 years. © Egg Films Braveheart (1995) Mel Gibson stunned as William Wallace in ‘Braveheart’, which took away five Oscars in 1995. When his secret bride is executed for assaulting an English soldier who tried to rape her, Mel Gibson playing a commoner begins a revolt and leads Scottish warriors against the cruel English tyrant who rules Scotland with an iron fist. © Icon Entertainment International Reservoir Dogs (1992) ‘Reservoir Dogs’ is a Tarantino crime thriller that was remade in Bollywood as ‘Kaante’. After a simple jewelry heist goes terribly wrong, the surviving criminals begin to suspect that one of them is a police informant.

© Live Entertainment Taxi Driver (1976) Directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Robert De Niro, ‘Taxi Driver’ is a story of how a mentally unstable Vietnam war veteran works as a night-time taxi driver in New York City where the perceived decadence and sleaze feeds his urge for violent action, attempting to save a preadolescent prostitute in the process. © Columbia Pictures Corporation Once Upon a Time in America (1984) A Sergio Leone gangster movie, ‘Once Upon a Time in America’ is about a former Prohibition-era Jewish gangster who returns to the Lower East Side of Manhattan over 30 years later, where he once again must confront the ghosts and regrets of his old life. © Embassy International Pictures Full Metal Jacket (1987) ‘Full Metal Jacket’ figures at #83 in IMDB Top 250 movies and is a war drama where a pragmatic U.S. Marine observes the dehumanizing effects the U.S.-Vietnam War has on his fellow recruits from their brutal boot camp training to the bloody street fighting in Hue.

© Natant Rush (2013) Already in the running for the best movie at the Golden Globes next year, ‘Rush’ is a finely executed biopic which depicts a re-creation of the merciless 1970s rivalry between Formula One rivals James Hunt and Niki Lauda. © Exclusive Media Group Inglourious Basterds (2009) Quentin Tarantino bested himself with this one. In Nazi-occupied France during World War II, a plan to assassinate Nazi leaders by a group of Jewish U.S. soldiers coincides with a theatre owner's vengeful plans for the same. Brad Pitt was brilliant as Lt. Aldo Raine, to say the least. © Universal Pictures Snatch. (2000) A Guy Ritchie classic, ‘Snatch.’ is a must watch crime thriller where unscrupulous boxing promoters, violent bookmakers, a Russian gangster, incompetent amateur robbers, and supposedly Jewish jewelers fight to track down a priceless stolen diamond. With Jason Statham, Brad Pitt and Benicio Del Toro, the movie has a superb cast that make for a great watch.

© Columbia Pictures Corporation Raging Bull (1980) A Martin Scorsese classic, ‘Raging Bull’ is the story of an emotionally self-destructive boxer's journey through life, as the violence and temper that leads him to the top in the ring, destroys his life outside it. Robert De Niro took away the Oscar for Best Actor for his portrayal of Jake La Motta. © United Artists Scarface (1983) Cinephiles will unanimously agree that Tony Montana (Al Pacino) is probably one of the manliest movie characters in the history of cinema. ‘Scarface’, which was nominated for 3 Golden Globes, is set in 1980 Miami where a determined Cuban immigrant takes over a drug cartel while succumbing to greed. © Universal Pictures Die Hard (1988) In this 1988 thriller, John McClane (Bruce Willis), officer of the NYPD tries to save wife Holly Gennaro and several others, taken hostage by German terrorist Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) during a Christmas party at the Nakatomi Plaza in Los Angeles.

© Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation The Usual Suspects (1995) Kevin Spacey won the Oscar for his supporting role in this crime mystery, where a boat has been destroyed, criminals are dead, and the key to this mystery lies with the only survivor and his twisted, convoluted story beginning with five career crooks in a seemingly random police lineup. © PolyGram Filmed Entertainment Gangs of Wasseypur (2013) A deadly blood feud spanning three generations of coal mafia in Wasseypur, ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ and its sequel saw some amazing performances from the likes of Manoj Bajpai and Nawazuddin Siddiqui – making the movies a guy’s favorites from Bollywood in 2013. © Jar Pictures Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013) A biopic on the Flying Sikh, Farhan Akhtar’s transformation for the movie was as awe-inspiring as the movie itself. A tale of tenacity, grit and pure athleticism, ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ is definitely one of the manliest Bollywood movies of 2013.

© Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra Pictures The Avengers (2012) Probably the best superhero movie of 2012, calling ‘The Avengers’ manly still does not do justice to the epic ensemble cast that gets together to save the planet from Loki and his army. © Marvel Studios Gran Torino (2008) Clint Eastwood might play an old man in this one, but his performance was nothing less than macho. He plays a disgruntled Korean War veteran Walt Kowalski who sets out to reform his neighbor, a Hmong teenager who tried to steal Kowalski's prized possession: a 1972 Gran Torino. © Matten Productions Warrior (2011) One of the manliest movies of 2011, ‘Warrior’ is a story of how the youngest son of an alcoholic former boxer returns home, where he's trained by his father for competition in a mixed martial arts tournament - a path that puts the fighter on a collision corner with his older brother.
