The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Good the bad and the ugly poster.jpgI accidentally came upon this movie, thanks to my friend Solvin.  Cowboy movies have never attracted me and the only cowboy I have watched and enjoyed is Woody of Toy story.  The Good, the bad, and the ugly (TG, TB, TU) is a very stylish Spaghetti Western Film directed by Sergio Leone.  In fact it is part of a trilogy, which is considered a classic in this genre of film making.

(TG, TB, TU) is the story of three prize fighters/bounty hunters, who are ruthless in their own ways, but whose paths cross in the hunt for buried confederate gold.  The Good is Blondie (Clint Eastwood), the bad is Tuco (Eli Wallach), and the ugly is Angel eyes (Lee Van Cleef).  The background score is terrific and the theme music appears quite familiar (thanks to copycats in Bollywood).  A must watch if you haven't watched already.
