Great Western can watch over and over !!!
I had opportunity to watch this film recently. I am really impressed of how the storytelling, music, and cinematography all complement each other. I have enjoyed other classic westerns that star John Wayne. But Clint Eastwood does a great job as the central character in this western as does the supporting cast. The thing I love the most about the film is the fact is does not focus too much on dialogue. Instead the character's facial expressions combined with great music compositions tells the audience what is going on. If you enjoy movies I encourage you to check out this film you will not be disappointed.
Whether or not you consider this to be one of the greatest westerns ever made or just an empty, cynical joke is probably a matter of personal taste; coherent arguments can be made both ways. Against the backdrop of the American Civil War, three gunmen search for a coffin full of dollars: Eastwood isn't especially good, but Van Cleef is certainly bad, and as for Wallach... The first of the film's many careful ironies is that there really isn't very much to choose between them in moral terms - those who view the western as a venue for articulating moral principles may not be impressed.
However, maybe they are missing the point, for while this may be a cynical movie, it is by no means wholly amoral, and there is compassion on display as well. What you would have to be utterly contrary to argue against are the brilliant set-pieces orchestrated by Leone, invariably accompanied by Ennio Morricone's stunning score. Eccentric and impressionistic in places, but still an extraordinary piece of cinema what ever you think of its place within the western genre.

Leone's direction makes a 3 hour movie leaving you wanting more (5 more)
Genre-defining
A writing masterpiece with one of the greatest endings you will ever see
That haunting, dramatic soundtrack
Clint (Blondie), Van Cleef (Angel Eyes) and Wallach (Tuco) put in stunning performances
Dramatic, brutal, and riveting.
The greatest western of all time, with or without spaghetti!
